I'm trying to figure out why Uniden crippled the backlight settings on the 325 compared to the 125. Ideally, I would like the backlight to stay on with open squelch, but that isn't an option on the 325. The only real options are on for 3-4 seconds after the squelch opens (the manual says 5 seconds, but mine always turns off after 3-4 seconds), or turning the backlight on manually. Why was there such a giant leap backwards in the backlight settings for Uniden's second newest detector?
BCD325P2 Backlight Settings:
10 sec - The backlight stays on for 10 seconds after you press
30 sec - The backlight stays on for 30 seconds after you press
.
Squelch - The backlight turns on when the squelch opens then stays on for 5 seconds.
Keypress - The backlight turns on when any key is pressed then stays on for 10 seconds.
Infinite - The backlight turns on when you press then stays on until you press again.
BC125AT Backlight Settings:
Always Off - Backlight is always off.
Always On – Backlight is always on.
On with Squelch - Backlight is on while squelch is open and until delay expires.
On with Keypress - Backlight is on for 10 seconds after any key is pressed.
Keypress+Squelch – Both above-mentioned "Squelch" and "Keypress."
It seems like these options could be changed/added with a simple firmware update.
Please Uniden?
