Lightbulb enough of the whining

Apparently I'm the only one that's happy with my 396 the way it is. Maybe I'm just lucky, but my 396 seems to do a great job listening to the ARMER system here in MN. Notice I said great, and not perfect. Even the radios on the system that cost several thousand dollars are not perfect, so there's no way you can expect a scanner to be.. In fact, I sometimes hear someone on the system ask for a repeat because the transmission was digitized, even though I heard it loud and clear on my 396. Personally, I don't see that any further updates or support are needed, it does what it is supposed to do just the way it is. Anyone that hates their 396/996 that much, feel free to PM me and I will give you my address and you can send the piece of junk to me. Heck, I'll even pay for shipping.
