The Uniden BearCat Digital BCD325P2 is a APCO-25 Phase II capable handheld TrunkTracker V scanner based on Dynamic Memory Architecture. This scanner became available to the market in April 2015. It is linage is from the previous generation BCD396XT with added features & memory as well as repackaging into their newest iteration of a shorter ergonomic (hand-holding style used analog only scanners) with a much larger font style with single color LED display of Bearcat Orange. It's direct base/mobile sibling is the BCD996P2, options are nearly identical except the BCD325P2 only has a USB (USB B Mini) port vs a Serial & USB available on the BCD996P2. These 2 scanner make up, what are becoming known as "P2 scanners" as they decode Phase 2 signals.
