BCD325 in vehicle?

[scannerman200]

Is anyone using the 325p2 in your vehicle with the usb cable for power and external speaker? How is it working for you?

This scanner appears to be made for "daytime" use only...... There is no lighted keypad so I can't see how useful this scanner would be at night mounted in a car or at a nighttime event.... Some design choices just don't make any sense at all.. I would just skip this one all together until they get it right and release an updated 396 with all the bells and whistles. The size of a 396 is a perfect fit for a vent clip for mounting in a car. The 396 should have been updated and released again with P25 Phase 2 capabilities added. It Make no sense to try to keep inventing the wheel as the result will most likely be complete design failure as in this case..... Just my opinion.

I use mine the car a lot. I don't use a power cable or a speaker. There are times a speaker would be very helpful. It works well but I do change batteries about every 5 hours. But overall I like it a lot.

The low end scanners never had a backlit keypad (save the BR330T). I guess they carried that over to the mid tier line portable.
