I own 2. They both perform flawlessly. It's basically an updated 996xt. I use one mobile, and one at home which also feeds the internet, I wouldn't have anything else.
I bought one the day they hit The market, I use it for mobile use 10-12 hours a, day 5 days a week
(in my Big Rig) has larger text & Brighter back light than the 536.
It's built like a brick to, also very responsive quick key, over The 536, only down side, no record or play back capabilities
good luck

Have had my 996p2 for about a year now, works pretty well. I mainly use it at my desk during the day and have my 536hp up in my room...both are great for everyday use!!

Just remember, the BCD996P2 does not properly track Capacity Plus talk groups.

I've had my 996P2 for almost a week now (w/Provoice) and it's working great. It does not experience the annoying data bursts that my 436 does. P25 is nice and clear and even receive digital channels up to 70 miles away. Great sensitivity, great radio.
My 2 996p2's work just fine beside my 2 536's and my 996p2's track a 5 site 5 channel DMR CAP PLUS system.

Yes, the scanner is very good at that.
One of the best things about the 996P2 (including all the 996 series, as well as the T15X) is that they do not use any fragile memory card sockets or problematic memory cards.
How large a system (number of TG's)?
500 TG, UID etc. per system, and 20 system limit on 996. None on x36 series.
