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's lineage 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 scanners make up, what are becoming known as "P2 scanners" as they decode [[APCO_Project_25#Project_25_Phase_II_.22TDMA.22|Phase 2]] signals. [[DMR]]/[[MOTOTRBO]], EDACS [[ProVoice]] and [[NXDN]] decoding and trunking available via paid upgrade.

Bearcat Digital 325 Phase 2 BCD325P2 Trunktracker V

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's lineage 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 scanners make up, what are becoming known as "P2 scanners" as they decode Phase 2 signals. DMR/MOTOTRBO, EDACS ProVoice and NXDN decoding and trunking available via paid upgrade.
