As a scanner hobbies who has owned every scanner made sice crystals, this is one I passed on initially after seeing specs. It is not a digital scanner in the sense that the target is not public service in terms of police, fire, etc, although you can receive limited stuff still conventional and not trunked. I have loads of scanners, all mainly trunk radios like SDS100, SDS200, 325P2 etc. With upgrades, some of which I have, these digital modes are available, at a higher cost in a higher priced radio, that's not really search-friendly. The 125AT (and 325P2) has always been a favorite for me for searching general frequencies. The 125AT is built for searching. I recently pulled out my trusty 125AT, got re-engaged in the search hobby, and even picked up another 125AT to have in a different location. Then I reconsidered the 160DN. Still seemed a little on the high side compared to the 125AT, but other than P25, the main digital mode for police etc, it decodes a pile of other digital modes, automatically. This thing is a giant step up from the 125AT in that you get all the higher 700-900 mz range, as long as it is not P25. The radio even recognizes P25 and resumes without noise. I have way fewer lockout because the radio cuts a lot of that out when you search digital modes only. It saves your finds with all the system mode, type and color code nonsense automatically without you manually setting up a channel, though you can do it if you want. Reconsider this one if you passed on it initially like I did.
