@Gommert thankyou for the posted info. If you can answer how does the receive sensitivity compare to the 996P2 or 15X?

Good to know. If 380-400 Mhz can be changed to AM 25 Khz channel spacing, this will be a very useful scanner for MilAir.

Hoping the mode can be changed too. I had the Icom 52A and sold it due to Icom locked down changing modes in certain frequencies. Would have kept it if I could make those changes.
For the record....you don't sound confused, it was just a joke. Thanks for coming here and answering our questions 🙂
Thanks Bob for the info you posted.

Please don't hold me to the December 26th date. These are all estimates. Official expectation is Q1 2024 but I'm hoping they come in a little early.
@JoeBearcat thanks for the updates that you give us.
I read earlier, that the BCD160DN, won't have close call. But that it will have band scope mode.
Will there be a way to save a channel from band scope mode?
I have a bcd325p2., I can't figure a way to save a channel/frequency from band scope mode to a group. But I can from close call or search.
I'm looking for the ideal hobbyist scanner for frequency hunting at local race tracks. The bcd125at works well except for inability to quick save ctcss/dcs codes if you don't catch them just right when you originally save the channel. The dial a code takes way too long when you are trying to watch the action. I tend to take the bcd325p2and use number tags for the car numbers, because you can quick save the codes for a stored frequency much easier. The lack of close call on this new scanner, is kind of a bummer for me.

But Joe you said it would! Just kidding brother an inside Pittsburgh joke. That being said looking forward to the release of these.
No interest in any others. Waiting on Uniden and Icom to come out with their new handhelds. Leaning towards Icom if they don’t neuter it like the 52a was nueter.
Say's coming in early 2024 but does not support P25 only DMR and NXDN

That was already published in July
Did Uniden send out Demo models to anyone (i.e. for actual testing)? I'd be really curious how the receive sensitivity and intermod rejection on airband compares to the BCT-15X.
Yes a few here were given TEST DEMOS and have posted what they can say here in this thread.
