That is a surprise!!! I have the 996xt and it does very well on Phase I P25. I would hope it does just as well on Phase II.

No, your right it does not do Phase II at present. I was saying it does well on Phase I P25 and I hoped that the new P2 will do just as well on Phase II as the XT model does on Phase I.

According to the Universal site this is coming out in two weeks. Interesting. Well, people did say they wanted a Phase 2 scanner like the 996...well, there it is!

I don't even have it in me this round lol. Uniden has officially sucked the life out of me.

In all seriousness, I wonder if the remote head will work with this model?

Ahh gotcha. Listening to the OPP on P25 is crystal clear on my 996, I am quite happy with it.

I have three 996xt's and love this model. I'm in a rural area that is using P25 phase 1, but they are upgrading the whole system and don't know if it will be phase 2 or not. Any way if it is phase 2, I will buy one in a heartbeat. I'll admit it was hard to learn how to program these but once you get it figured out it's really easy to manually program. GOOD JOB UNIDEN!!!!

I wonder if they used the same lousy discriminator tap in this scanner... Or have they learned their lesson from CQPSK simulcast issues from the rest of their scanners

It will even work with all the BCD996XT software once said software is given a very minor tweak (needs to recognize BCD996P2 as a model). I passed the info to the major developers a few weeks ago, so suspect that they have something pretty much on-tap and ready to go.
