I am brand new to the board and am looking for some input on upgrading from my BC780XLT I purchased back in 2002, to the BCD996XT. I'm really only interested in being able to continue monitoring LAFD, LACoFD, along with now being able to receive LAPD. Since this will be my first digital scanner I have some questions:
1) Will I be able to start monitoring LAPD right out of the box by simply entering the frequencies as I am used to with an analog scanner, or will it require a little more work and knowledge?
2) Will the upgraded features on the BCD996XT enhance my listening experience with LAPD (specifically) over what previous digital models had to offer?
3) Are there any limitations to being able to get a decent signal with digital transmissions?
If anyone has experience with this particular model in the LA area I would be curious to hear what you have to say.
