    • Great Little Scanner for the Price
Style: Handheld Scanner
So far, I haven't explored all the features of my scanner. That said, it's full featured and provides a very generous storage capacity for channel frequencies. Everyone complains about battery life, however, I have an extra set of batteries and a stand-alone charger which does a better job of charging the batteries anyway. By swapping out the batteries, they are always ready to go and their life isn't shortened by using the internal charger on an overly long charge time (charging isn't limited except to the time set for charge cut off). Of course, the receiver can be operated using the cable provided and a USB charge brick which eliminates the need for changing batteries. Sensitivity is great. A local (not geographically) weather channel comes in with full bars (signal strength indicator) and the audio is loud and clear considering the small speaker and my using it indoors with the provided antenna. I purchased a separate antenna for the bands I want to use (aviation) for even better performance. Programming is daunting at first (and I mentioned that I'm still learning), but straight forward if one reads the manual (which was supplied with my unit and is also available as a downloadable PDF). Many on-line videos are available detailing the programming and operation of this unit and the XLT version which is nearly identical in operation. The unit is pocketable and compact, and fairly lightweight for its class, although some (long) antennas may need removal to make it practical to pocket. The shorter antenna provided isn't that obtrusive though. Don't believe those who say the programming is overly hard. Once done a couple of times, it becomes easier and easier with use and is really pretty simple. The number of adjustments available is what makes it a bit overwhelming at first so it is best to go with the default settings and learn the features one at a time (slowly) as most aren't that essential for basic operation but are valuable later on. ... show more

    • This is awesome!
Style: Handheld Scanner
My son wanted a scanner so he could listen to our local fire department calls. And this scanner is perfect. It wasn’t that hard to program. I watched 2 YouTube videos and went from there. It’s great quality, looks cool, and my son can bring it in the car when we go on rides because it’s small. A great product for the price. It’s exactly what we were looking for! ... show more

    • Quality scanner
Style: Handheld Scanner
Reasonably priced. Instructions could be better. Has so many features it will take time to learn to use it well. There are many YouTube videos out there that are very helpful. Take your time and don't get frustrated.

    • 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

    • 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
