Good reception with the stock antenna, but you'll get even better reception with the Diamond RH77CA

Also, I’ve discovered that the BC125AT and the BC75XLT both Have greatly improved reception when the RH77CC Diamond Antenna is connected to the BNC jack instead of the supplied duckbill stock antenna

Good reception.

poor reception

The reception is good even with stock antenna it pulls in audio from two counties away

Other than that, the scanner works great and the reception is clear

Cons, eats batteries, could be better reception, no light on buttons, does not attract women.

Poor reception, even with switching out the standard antennae with a much better one.

Instructions are complicated and reception is very weak

I know this because I bought the BC75XLT first, and it is a good scanner with great reception but it has none of the extra features that you get with the BC125AT

Somewhat difficult to use, reception isn't the greatest either.

Great reception in and outdoors with the stock antenna.

Have had any luck getting a clear reception

Great reception and battery life for only having two batteries.

Extremely poor reception.

Poor reception

Good reception, 10 banks of 50 channels

Very good reception, sound is very good, perfect size

Great reception and very easy to program

This thing, with plenty of memory, great reception, excellent battery life, and 16 character alpha tag, has been my workhorse for local short ovals, NHRA, and a local road course.

For an inexpensive scanner the BC125AT is a full featured scanner with great reception

It provides clear reception of aircraft frequencies as well as local law enforcement

Reception is decent, audio is crisp but a little weak, which is expected from a handheld used at an airshow, which is why I use an external speaker with all my handhelds

Purchased a larger antenna on Amazon and improved reception.

Good reception and the controls make sense

Great reception and well made and priced reasonably.

I just wish it had better reception.

Not good reception and lots of static

Yet the reception is very clear.

CTCSS/DCS tone search on received channels works really really well and is handy for unknown frequencies- Reception is really really good across the spectrum, I use this with a mag mount car

It is small enough to carry on your belt and gets great reception.

Somewhat difficult to use, reception isn't the greatest either.

Lightweight, Good reception,

Very good reception using an indoor antenna attached to it.

I purchased a Diamond RH77CA antenna which greatly improved reception

Excellent reception

Its small and lightweight, gets great reception, uses USB mini charging for easy charging, not to mention a great looking little portable handheld scanner

Excellent reception of railroad frequencies.

The little Bearcat is easy to program, and has great reception once you replace the rubber duck antenna

It's easy to use, easy to charge and thus far have gotten great reception for our area

is there something I could by to make it pick up better or have a better reception

My Uniden BC125AT now reads "SCAN MODE ALL LOCKED!" when I turn it on after just one day of pretty decent reception of my local railroads

Excellent reception and signal strength

Great reception and range.

Reception good with included antenna but can get inexpensive 20 " extendable antenna for probably even better reception

Great reception

Scan > Hold; Func, then Scroll Control knob to the far right where the little c is right after bank 0.

n’t know if I would trust it to charge the batteries correctly as a result.

A 4 is a decent, honest review on this scanner considering the positives and negatives I found

its not bad i like pretty good except for ,the batterylife the batteries that came with it are
