In theory, the BCD160DN should perform as well as the pretty decent BC125AT, with the additional capability of NXDN and DMR reception.  It doesn't.  Side-by-side, the BCD160DN has significantly worse sensitivity on the analog channels than does the BC125AT.  So, for about double the price of the BC125AT, one gets a poorer performing radio on analog to get NXDN/DMR capability.  For the record, I tested both radios with identical antennas under the exact same conditions.  Also, the BCD160 has less battery life between recharges compared to the BC125AT--often 30% less or worse.  Unless you need NXDN and DMR, the BC125AT is a better radio at a lower price.  I used to maintain an NXDN radio system, so I have commercial NXDN radios that also have superior analog reception.  Uniden needs to improve the BCD160DN, which could be a very good radio if it wasn't so "deaf" on the analog channels.
