I noticed today that Uniden's webpage has removed both the BC160DN & BC260DN pages from view...

I've been bookmarking websites that I have come across that currently have webpages for the BCD160DN and BCD260DN. If anyone is interested, my consolidated list of those websites (with direct links) is as follows:

Scanner Master ("Out of Stock"): BCD160DN BCD260DN
Bearcat Warehouse ("Now Taking Backorders"): BCD160DN BCD260DN
Zip Scanners ("Now Taking Pre Sales Orders"): BCD160DN BCD260DN
CB World ("Out-of-stock"): BCD160DN BCD260DN
Neobits ("Call For Stock"): BCD160DN BCD260DN
ACL Distributors (Master Uniden Distributor-No Retail Sales): BCD160DN BCD260DN
CB Distributing (Distributor-No Retail Sales): BCD160DN BCD260DN

They're back now.

For those wanting to "test drive" the new Sentinel Software for the BCD160DN and BCD260DN scanners, you can download the installation zip file here.
Now Uniden links to Shopify. *sigh*

The 260 have a squelch LED that can be selected on or off and many different backlight colors for the display and both priority DND and priority Plus can be selected on both models.

But still no way of avoiding TG's in DMR and NXDN, it receives everything? So those encrypted types that in the current scanners are not detected as enc has to be monitored?

For those of you with the BC_VUP Firmware Updater program already installed on your computer, you will notice that Uniden has now added the latest firmware for both the BCD160DN and the BCD260DN to the drop down list. Both scanners have firmware version 1.01.01 available for download in that drop down list.

so most places i look the 325P2 is around $50 less than the 996P2
But i see the BCD160 is $100 less than the BCD2660
Its weird but fine by me as what ever scanner i get is just going in the basement and being remoted up to my office and $100 less for the same features sounds good to me

Nice catch fxdscon! Although I did not want to actually purchase one at this time, I went to the Uniden site through your link and added one to my cart so that I could see Uniden's shipping times. This is the information that was posted in my cart (copy and paste):

Shipping Times


Orders will be shipped within 2 business days in most cases.


  • US(Contiguous): 3-5 Business Days
  • Canada: 1-3 weeks
The thing is Uniden has now taken the BCD160DN page down again (as noted in the previous post #818) but I still have the BCD160DN showing in my shopping cart. Maybe they are working on and preparing their webpages for when they actually have stock?
