The description lists P25 Phase I and II as well as X-TDMA. P25 is the digital radio standard for public safety. X-TDMA is the digital standard for multimedia data over radio. There is also a lengthy list of trunking technologies that are supported by this model. Amazon should clean up and delete the old misleading answers as they no longer apply. **Q: I know nothing about scanners in general. Is this a good scanner for beginners, and does it come with everything needed to set up and listen?** A: In short, it is a good basic starter scanner. It will get you all analog transmissions from 27Mhz all the way up to 800Mhz.For a beginner scanner though, it can be a little tough to program manually. I learned through google searches and youtube videos. But if you want to just figure out what is going on around you, the scanner is preset to scanner different frequency stretches with the push of a button. So you can tell it to search just the standard police/fire/ems frequencies, or just the aircraft frequencies instead of manually programming.Oh, and yes this comes with enough accessories to permanently (wiring harness) or temporarily (cig lighter) set up in your car/truck or in your home as a base scanner (wall plug).Hope that helps.. **Q: What is the difference between the Uniden Scanner model number BC355N and the Uniden Scanner with model number BC355C?** A: The 335N is just an updated model. The BC355C is no longer in production by Uniden instead the newer BC355N is the current production model. Both scanners are essentially the same aside from very minor technical specifications, just one is currently in production and the other isn't. **Q: what type of external antenna connector does it take I want to use it in my RV and I have a car type push in plug does that work.** A: I have experience in this area myself. I do not know if it's available anymore but I used to have a scanner connected straight to my in car FM Radio antenna via a car radio to BNC adapter and worked very well, they also have a CB radio Coaxial to BNC adapter as well and works very well. I am a retired Firefighter/EMT and used same model and worked very well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Uniden BC355N 300-Channel Base/Mobile Scanner, Close Call Capture, Pre-programmed Search “Action” Bands to Hear Non-Digital Police, Ambulance, Fire, Amateur Radio, Public Utilities, Weather & more - Bingfu Police Radio Scanner Dipole Antenna 20-1300MHz Adhesive Mount BNC Male， Vehicle Mobile Ham Amateur Antenna Compatible with Uniden Bearcat Whistler Radio Shack Scanner - Bingfu VHF UHF Ham Amateur Radio Police Scanner Antenna Magnetic Base BNC Male Antenna Compatible with Uniden Bearcat Whistler Shack Police Scanner Radio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1143229-uniden-bc355n-300-channel-base-mobile-scanner-close-call-capture](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1143229-uniden-bc355n-300-channel-base-mobile-scanner-close-call-capture) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
