Uniden lifts the curtain on its long-anticipated APCO 25 digital scanner models.
LAS VEGAS (January 8) Uniden America Corporation today

unveiled its new digital scanner line for 2002, including the consumer

electronics leader’s much-anticipated base and handheld APCO 25 digital

scanning models. Speaking at CES, product manager Scott Carpenter

showcased the new scanner products, underscoring the company’s

commitment to keeping its customers at the forefront of scanning

technology. “Our retailers have been pushing us for a Uniden APCO 25

product for months, and our new BC250D handheld and our BC785D

base/mobile scanning unit represent the fulfillment of our promise,”

Carpenter said. “With the ability to monitor conventional, trunked and

APCO 25 conventional and trunked systems these models are

state-of-the-art radio scanners. According to Uniden representatives,

the Bearcat BC250D and the Bearcat BC785D models, which are slated to

hit shelves in late 2002, offer 1,100 channels, 10 banks and a frequency

range of 25MHz 1300MHz. The BC250D comprises all of the features of

Uniden’s market-leading BC780 XLT in a handheld model, plus adds APCO 25

capability and an additional 600 channels. Users of both models must

purchase an APCO 25 card, the BCi25D, separately. “We’re pleased to be

bringing these great Bearcat APCO 25 units to market,” Carpenter said.

“We expect more big cities to migrate to the APCO 25 digital technology,

like Los Angeles did this past year, to ensure agency interoperability

among police, fire, EMTs and the like and we know news organizations,

businesses and consumers will want to monitor their signals.” Uniden

officials stressed that APCO 25 digital scanning technology simply gives

users the ability to monitor the day-to-day activities and signals of

standard city and government service departments but in no way allows

users to monitor encrypted signals from national and local security

organizations. In a separate announcement Uniden also announced its

plans to market its own easy-to-use scanner programming software, which

it is demonstrating in its booth at this winter’s annual Consumer

Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The software will allow the users of all

Uniden scanners with data ports to easily program frequencies into the

channels and banks of their scanner.
