BCD160DN/BCD260DN: Is this a new Uniden model? BCD260DN

In the process of comparing DMR between my 325 and the 160. Was scrolling through the frequency and came across a active frequency but no sound. Showed P25 as the transmission but no sound. So far, the DMR on both radios are the same as far as reception goes. Funny that there is no P25 in the 160 but will show P25 if it locks on a active P25 frequency.
Doesn't surprise me.

Starting to wonder if its P25 capable and need a paid upgrade for it IF uniden does this. Buddrousa pretty much called this I think. If they do, its basically a 325P2.
Remember gang all 3 P25 DMR and NXDN use the same vcoder just different firmware. What took Uniden so long was getting the P25 and Trunking out of the firmware and DMR and NXDN still work good. This is just my thoughts as I have no inside track to info.

If they took P25 out, why is it still recognizing P25?
Its not decoding now is it.
Your scanner recognizes ENCRYPTION but it does dot decode it does it.

Does the 160 covers the missing Military Air 380-400 of the 125AT?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Probably somebody missed a string of code (command), when they re-wrote the 325's firmware.
I still firmly believe that the hardware components of these two scanners are identical, just a rebranding on the casing, and a firmware re-write.
Don't get me started on the lack of close call, and the difference of 1000 channels vs 25,000 channels.
I understand the price difference, but just taking away features of an existing product, and including others by a simple software rewrite, and calling it a new product just feels off to me.

Yes. This scanner has the same frequency ranges of the BCD325P2, just with more narrowly defined search parameters. (Added features, firmware re-write). Nothing you couldn't do with a custom search on the 325.

It's even in the manual (recognizing but not decoding P25).

It does not. Thats fine though as it could find a new P25 frequency not in the database when searching. Can always put it on hold and have one of my P25 radios check it out.

From the manual: The radio skips P25 signals when searching or scanning.

Mine did not skip. Locked in, showed 3 s bars, then continued after transmission finished.
True, I just tested mine.

How is the audio out put of the 160DN compare to125AT?
Do they both have the same size of speaker?
Thanks

For me the 125 volume set at 10 is the same as the 160 set to 15 the max volume for both models. Yes both have the same size speaker.
Using the earplug they seem to perform the same.

FYI I just received my BCD260N and mounted it above my SDS200 and am surprised it is about double the sensitivity of my SDS200 and is showing more P-25 frequencies on vhf/uhf.now if they would activate the modes, they left out would get more of the BCD260Ns for sure or maybe add the sensitivity to the others.very pleased with this scanner
