    BCD996XT Question

    I'm thinking about buying the the BCD996XT. I live in San Diego County and most of what I want to scan is in digital format. I looked into the BCT15X because of the price but it won't receive digital. Does Uniden plan on adding the "Bear Tracker" feature to the BCD996XT in the future?

    BCD99xt intermittent audio loss

    When my xt stops on a channel, I lose the audio for about one second approx every seven seconds. Sometimes I miss important information. It's kind of like when I turn on Priority and it goes back and checks the Priority channel. But I don't have priority turned on. At least its not showing up on...

    BCD996XT and "five-digit" frequencies?

    One of the trunking systems in my area has a control frequency of 774.73125. The BCD996XT only lets me enter four digits to the right of the decimal point. Is entering 774.7312 or 774.7313 going to work? Is there a different way around this problem?
