yes, thatās what some quick thinkers said. If the price for the 160DN and/or 260DN is too high you might be better of with an older model with P25 and DMR/NXDN trunking.
As long as there is no actual selling price you just have to wait to see what giveās the biggest bang for your buck
Whether these scanners are a fit for a particular hobbyist depends on what the hobbyist desires to monitor. For some they will be great, for others it may be overkill or underkill (is that a word?). Many people understand this. It seems some still do not.
Just because they (possibly) aren't great for you or I doesn't mean they aren't great in and of themselves.

While everyone's needs are different of course, I personally have no interest in them as they simply do not fit into my needs.
But for those that need DMR NXDN and do not need P25 can buy a base for $350ish and not have to pay $450ish plus $110 for upgrades for DMR and NXDN.
For those who may be interested, Uniden has now posted the owner's manual for the BCD160DN handheld (in English). Initially only the BCD260DN base/mobile owner's manual was available online.
Why does the link read 260 When loaded?

It doesn't. It's the 160, at least here. And for fxdscon. Even says 160 in the link; /BCD160DNom.pdf is the ending of the link.
Yes itās working fine for me now I did a refresh in my browser! Thank You

Well, a part of page 6 and whole page 7 and 8 are in French š
Band Scope looks verry nice and I like the range of available frequencies too.

thatās why they have made a camera in a smartphone. Find a new frequency, push hold and make a photo with your smartphone. On a other moment I can easily program this frequency into the scanner š
For those who have already placed a back order with Zip Scanners for the BCD160DN and/or BCD260DN, it looks like their arrival will be further delayed from what they initially thought. Since they started accepting back orders, the Zip Scanners website has said "Expected ship date: February 2024" but as of today it now says "Expected ship date: March 2024."
FYI Bearcat Warehouse has had "Expected ship date: March 2024" on their website for both the BCD160DN and BCD260DN since they started accepting back orders and that information has not changed.

yes, I noticed they pushed it back from Feb 2024 to March 2024, they also decided to charge your card right away too, I think zip scanners were Feb 2024 now March 2024 as well, didn't bear cat joe says the first quarter of 2204 it should be shipped out or in stores?

Patience, virtue, time for firmware to be developed...
My use is to have it running while I am doing other stuff and look at the results later. I don't have a lot of time for active monitoring.
