Thanks for the great video, Is there any downside to purchasing the US version rather than waiting for the UK version to be released?
I dont think so as the unit is full customisable and with the USA Version u get 220mhz.
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones thanks!.
the 260dn is not coming to the uk just the 160 from speaking to different retailers
@@dazaboy2k9 radioworld stating it sure is, but near end of the year.
@@darrylyoung1121avera have only stated the 160dn
Even on arc I only manually add freqs and systems, software I only use to sort in freq order each system then save and send to all sds I have
I can manually add systems or freqs quicker than using software
This scanner doesn't use Systems it's just Banks and channels .

Oh dear radio good but looks like can't use the uniden software as it can't find con port nor will it install a driver
So maybe my older windows won't allow use on this radio irs fine with my sds models
I use arc butel for unidens normally, what is this software? What about sentinel presume it's a differant sentinel software
But for 125vand 160dn more likely to just add manually it's actually easier
There is bearcat software .

Can scanners locate encrypted RF signal ?
Needle in a haystack.
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones i thought scanners have gps buit in ?
Will that software work with the BCT15X?
I will check .
Freescan works with the BCT15X scanner
