    • Easy to use, compact. No hassle!
Style: Handheld Scanner
Nice product! It takes a bit to learn the programming sequence, but after you learn it, it is easy. Lots of options to program, but not a must! recommend it !

    • Easy to use, simple scanner
Style: Handheld Scanner
Not a fancy scanner but does the job. Analog only. The programming software isn't the best or most comprehensive but it is okay to load freqs. Like the size and the fact it uses AA batteries. Probably won't use the internal charge circuit for rechargeable batteries, there seems to be some issues as you read different information. Easy enough to use dedicated charger and just swap them out. ... show more

    • Capable Scanner for the Price
Style: Handheld Scanner
I had a 25 year old Radio Shack Scanner 10 channel (not ten bank) scanner and it was time to update. Living in the rural area of Northern California, and being an ex-volunteer firefighter, my wife and I depend on our scanner to keep alerted to local emergency events. I decided on the Uniden BC125AT after helping a friend program his. There were a number of things I found that helped me decide: THE GOOD • Good sound. The filtering in this scanner was able to filter out the static noise from the various electronics in our home. • Compact size and comfortable in the hand. • Alpha Numeric channel programming and labeling. The ability to add labels to each channel as it appears on the screen during a transmission makes it easier to know what is actually happening. I can instantly know what dispatch center is transmitting. • The free Windows software available from the Uniden website (link in the owners manual) allowed me to quickly and easily enter the frequencies I wanted along with a name for each channel, save it to a file on my computer, then upload the file to the scanner. With ten separate banks of 505 channels each, it was a simple matter to create separate banks for Fire, Police, Air Firefighting Resources, and even separate banks for local city emergency resources. After I programmed the friend's unit I received mine about two days later and it took just a few seconds to upload the data into my BC125AT. • The ability to lock out banks. It is very easy to lock out any of the banks so, for example, you can lock all out except one bank where you program local fire resources. • Scan all banks, scan one bank, or pick on channel to scan. In an emergency it is nice to be able to just listen to the main fire dispatch channel and it is easy to select that function. • The multi-function "volume knob." The rotary knob has many functions including setting the volume, adjusting the squelch, scrolling through the channels saved in banks. • Adjustable screen brightness and contract THE BAD (or at least, not as good) • The included rechargeable batteries are decent but the charger in the Uniden is set by time only in hours. Insert a fully-charged pair of cells and plug the Uniden in and if the charger is set to charge for six hours, it will charge for that period of time. This overheats the batteries which can shorten their life. Thy get quite warm to the touch, but so far not dangerously so. I suggest keeping a spare set of batteries charged and switch them out as needed. • It charges through the USB cable, and only charges the batteries when the unit is turned off. If the BC125AT is on, the batteries will not receive a charge. When turned off the charge restarts and will run the full length of time you selected in the menu system. • When I purchased this, the Amazon link to the warranty information was to an old PDF page from 2010 from Uniden that stated the unit had a three (3) year warranty. THAT IS INCORRECT. The printed manual that came with the scanner (©2012) states it has a one (1) year warranty. I called Uniden today (8/6/2018) and that information was confirmed. • The owners manual could be better. This is a powerful unit and can do a lot of things. To access much of the menu system takes multiple button presses. The manual describes these is somewhat more complicated text than is necessary. Flow charts for each functions would have been MUCH better. I know- I have written owners manuals and created flow charts for similar programming and function systems. CONCLUSION I give this unit 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the outdated battery charging system. Other than that, this is a very nice scanner for under $100. I do suggest purchasing the extended warranty so that you have more than one year's protection. NOTE: The linked PDF warranty file on the Amazon sales page when I purchased this scanner stated that the warranty was three (3) years. IT IS NOT! That PDF file was from 2010. The ©2012 owners manual that comes with the scanner states that the warranty period is one (1) year. I verified this with Uniden Customer Service. ... show more

    • I would not buy this if I had it to do over again.
Style: Handheld Scanner
It is advertised to be able to program via PC and download to the scanner. This does not work at all with modern computers like Windows 11. If you are still running Windows NT from 25 years ago then it will work. I literally saw references to Windows NT in the driver inf file. Tech support no help. They said that they doubted the old software would work and they dropped support. Here is the problem... It is painfully slow to enter all the driver's information in manually. Remember doing that with old flip phones? So it is probably a decent little inexpensive scanner if you are OK with painstaking manual entry. And BTW... it is not user friendly. You really have to read and figure out all the key strokes and what you are doing. Pretty cryptic. I am an electrical engineer and it took me a couple of hours of digging through the manual before I got comfortable with entering a driver's tag name, frequency, tone, etc. This thing is painful but now that I have entered in about 45 drivers names and data over about 4 hours and 2 sets of AA batteries, I don't think I am going to send it back. I'm afraid I may wind up with the same thing in just a different brand and have to do it all over again. And I don't go to the races enough to warrant spending major bucks on one. Bottom line... I guess you get what you pay for. ... show more

    • A must buy for all nascar fans!
Style: Handheld Scanner
Having spent a significant amount of time with the Uniden Bearcat BC125AT, I can confidently say that it is one of the best handheld scanners I've ever come across. Here's why it deserves a solid 5 stars: 500-Alpha-Tagged Channels: The ample storage space allows me to easily categorize and store a plethora of channels, making scanning and retrieval a breeze. It's especially useful for avid listeners like me, who have numerous frequencies of interest. Close Call Technology: This is the feature that genuinely sets the Bearcat BC125AT apart. The ability to automatically detect and tune into local transmissions without the need for pre-programming is nothing short of fantastic. It's like having a sixth sense for radio waves! User-Friendly Interface: The learning curve was minimal, and I found navigating through the channels and settings intuitive. The alpha-tagging feature is a godsend, allowing me to label channels with custom names, making it easier to identify what I'm listening to at a glance. Compact & Durable Design: It's lightweight and fits perfectly in my hand. Despite its compact size, it feels robust, ensuring longevity and durability. Clear Audio Quality: The sound clarity is commendable, even in areas where signal strength can be a challenge. Whether it's emergency services, aviation, or other frequencies, the reception has always been crisp and clear. In summary, the Uniden Bearcat BC125AT has genuinely elevated my scanning experience. For anyone in the market for a reliable, feature-packed handheld scanner, this is the one to go for. Highly recommended! ... show more
