    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the bar code reader. They mention that it is high quality, built well, and a solid performer. The scanner is easy to use and has great features.

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the bar code reader. Some mention that it's very easy to program with the free software, while others say that it is extremely complicated to program and difficult to learn. They say the instruction manual is not very clearly written or logically organized, making it difficult to understand.

    "Excellent, solid construction, could be complicated if you are new to scanning...." Read more

    "...The learning curve is very steep. It is not plug it in, put in a few channels and listen like in the old days...." Read more

    "...All the "experts" agree it is easy to program, just download freescan. Except not if you own a MAC...." Read more

    "...I think mostly this is because the instruction manual is not very clearly written or logically organized. Watching YouTube videos did little to help...." Read more

    51 customers mention31 positive20 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the bar code reader. Some mention that the sound is terrific, and won't be affected by the metal housing. The WX channel came in loud and clear, and it's very useful if the volume is low. However, others say that the speaker is low or muffled, and P25 communications often truncate or completely mute the audio.

    "...This scanner is capable of listening to police UHF VHF, fire UHF VHF, railroads, aviation 118-130 MHZ ish, GMRS/MURS/FRS(walkie talkies) 460 MHZ ish..." Read more

    "...right and you may see talkgroups show up on the display but no audio is heard/garbled/breaks up because it can't decode the digital modulation, or..." Read more

    "...I primarily got it to listen to local fire depts. It does have a tone-out feature, but I didn't find that feature particularly impressive or useful..." Read more

    "...The sound quality is terrific and wont be affected by the metal housing...." Read more

    34 customers mention22 positive12 negative

    Customers are mixed about the reception of the bar code reader. Some mention that it has really good reception with the antenna that it came with, picking up distant signals good. It has high sensitivity, and great on all frequencies. However, others say that they had a little trouble with reception, saying that it's not really great with simulcast, the frequencies disappear from the screen, and the signals fade out at times. They also say that the BCD992P2 has trouble following P25 communications.

    "...The digital transmissions come in clear. The analog signals, such as on the air band, will be staticky...." Read more

    "...The signals fade out at times, some of these RF tower signals get more/less power alloted to them on each tower...." Read more

    "...It’s has really good reception with the antenna that it came with. I would guess about a 10-20 mile radius." Read more

    "...It has plenty of options and can store more frequencies than most people will ever use...." Read more

    7 customers mention4 positive3 negative

    Customers are mixed about the cord. Some mention that it comes with USB programming cable, AC adapter, and 2 DC power cords. However, others say that the programming cord was not correct for the radio, there are no drivers for the programming cable available, and the programs are useless.

    "...The scanner can be used in the car, it comes with 2 DC power cords, one with a lighter plug, it has a nice bracket and includes the AC adapter...." Read more

    "...of the digital frequencies that I paid over $150 to have programmed are absolutely useless because they are encrypted channels...." Read more

    Customers find the bar code reader difficult to operate. They mention it's poorly handled, struggles with digital input, and is difficult for the average user. Customers also say the instructions are not clear and the product can cause odd errors of all kinds.

    "...These can be problematic and cause odd errors of all kinds...." Read more

    "...For digital it seems to really struggle. And, regardless, the user interface, programming, etc. is generally less intuitive and less capable...." Read more

    "...going to give this product four stars, not because the radio lacks quality but because I did not recieve the mounting hardware...." Read more

    "...I got it back and found it very difficult to operate and the instructions weren't much help...." Read more

    Good scanner-hard to program
    This scanner came at a decent price on Amazon.My only problem is the same problem Everyone else has had. It is extremely complicated to program. What saved my rear, was I watched a few YouTube videos, explaining how to program it for P-25 and conventional. I was able to get the digital and conventional channels programmed on the scanner without spending extra money. I didn’t take the time to label each frequency as I just listen to it and don’t look at the frequencies on the screen anyways. It’s has really good reception with the antenna that it came with. I would guess about a 10-20 mile radius.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente Funciona En México
    Reviewed in Mexico on January 22, 2023
    Excelente equipo, yo lo uso en un pueblo en veracruz a 60m sobre el nivel del mar con una antena multibanda a 20m de altura , y tengo excelente recepción de aproximadamente 15 estaciones de radios que se escuchan a 150km a la redonda.
    en mi pueblo local decodifica bien una repetidora P25 , también puedo escuchar estaciones DMR , “recordemos que debemos comprar una licencia para activar la función DMR al igual de NXDN y si son algo caras”.
    Además debe tener mucha paciencia y tiempo para poder configurar el equipo ya que al principio si es difícil , si usted no tiene paciencia entonces ni lo compre.
    No se pueden escuchar estaciones encriptadas Digitales .
    El idioma del equipo es en inglés .
