Thank you for taking the time and doing this video. Extremely helpful. I am learning every day with these newer type scanners. It’s been 25 years and the learning curve and technology is leaps and bounds. What it was in the late 90s I really want to delve in and learn about the scanner abilities, but also wanted to get it up and running so I can use it. Thanks a lot.
KDYVGY - thank you, thank you, thank you. You boiled down thousands of forum pages and hours of other videos into one simple procedure. I ordered my BCD325P2 on Amazon. Fumbled around with the forums and other videos that same day. Was overwhelmed and nearly cancelled the order. But.... I found your video that night. Followed your advice with Free Scan and Radio Reference the next day. Got the local channels downloaded from Radio Reference to Free Scan. The scanner arrived at 4pm via USPS. I uploaded the channels from Free Scan to the BCD325P2 per your suggestion. By 4:15 pm, I was scanning and heard ambulance, fire, sheriff and helicopter within the first 20 minutes. No fuss, no muss. Thank you so much. I have recommended your video to other family members who may be considering a digital scanner soon.
I bought this scanner and received it Saturday August 5th and had my neighbor program mine , he’s a radio operator from the Vietnam war. Now he teaches classes on how to operate radios ( he’s a ham radio operator) anyway my best friend we are both disabled veterans, my neighbor is also. ( we are here at Ft. Bragg) - I mean Ft Liberty - anywho Jason is going to buy this scanner this weekend and lives in Ohio near Kent State University. I know he will find this video useful ,I just sent him this video, thank you good Sir.
Hello, I'm really happy that the video will help you folks out. Your comment brought a smile to my face. My dad was stationed in fort Bragg during the Vietnam war. And you said your son is from Kent Ohio. Myself, we just moved from Kent, Ohio June of this year now over in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and myself also as a ham operator kd8vgy. 73'
Yeeyup that will work... mostly. Other thing I would add is to set it for ID SCAN instead. As you saw it will pickup everything on the towers and it likely will be mostly out of county items. You can set that by pressing FUNC key and SCAN buttons. In freescan set it as seen at the 7:40 mark in this video.
This is awesome dude! Thanks for the video. Started picking up things right away. I think my local PD channels might be encrypted some how tho, not getting anything from them.
Much appreciated. I have the SDS100, but a friend's father has the BCD325P2 and needs help programming it. I was dreading dealing with it but this will make things a lot easier. Now if I can get network binding figured out on my VGC VR7500 dual band. LOL. 73. K2WLF
Free scan ruins all the DMR codes by making them NAC codes and changing the colour codes all to FFF. This bug has been present for years. That’s why I’m reluctant to use it.

Hands down the best video for the BCD325P2 scanner. Got me working and picking up radio traffic in 5 minutes! Thank you sir

Worked great first time around on my BCD325P2. Now, I just need to customize from this software.
