Since Avera says that they have no plans to import the BCD 160DN to Europe (at least not in 2024) I want to buy this scanner in America and send to the Netherlands.

Which webshop would you advice in relation to international shipping of a scanner? Perhaps any European RR-members with personal experience?

I can highly recommend Webtron-X as they have had superb support for their shipping to me of several scanners.

As a EU country the customs will add your countrys VAT tax (for me 25%) on the total including the shipping costs and add their own handling fee. There should be no import custom fee for a receiver. Shipping will probably be something like 50 EUR.

The 325P2 I just bought will be good enough along with my R30 and my SDS200. Doubt I will buy a new one but waiting on Icom new handheld that I want to see what users say. Doubt I will get that one too but will wait for user reports.

It has been discontinued well long enough for them to list a replacement and they have not yet. If I remember correctly, there has been 2 Electronic Shows in Vegas and the 2nd what was called the Dayton Ham Fest and still no release makes you think more on the lines that Icom is not wanting to compete in that market any longer. Just my thoughts.

It looks like Uniden.com is the only one who has the BCD160DN in stock. a lot of other webshops are giving “no stock - expect to ship in March” on their website’s

Once they start shipping, perhaps this thread should be closed and another thread opened in a non-tavern Uniden subforum for further discussion of the scanners as people begin to receive them?

Aha. In the manual, they mention it decodes "unknown NXDN" systems. Thus, making me wonder if this scanner sees dPMR.

Also wondering about DMR DCDM, but not holding my breath.

I think it's a nice deal for 250$
