Was thinking about getting the 396XT from Radio Shack. This is a good price, isn't it?

$799.99 isn't even CLOSE to a 'good price'. Currently $495 from Scanner Master.

Gotta agree. Radio Shack always sells Uniden at a higher price
than their rebranded GRE models.
Go with ScannerMaster or Grove Enterprises.

You guys didn't assume that was a joke?

I want to buy them from scanner master, and resale them to anybody buying from the RS site for $50 instant rebate!

Chris is right, I am joking, although it goes against my nature.
I brought it up to bring everyone's attention to the curious things that have been going on in RS's scanner department. What's up with those guys?

got my 396XT off Scanner Master, great deal and great radio.
Did your new 396XT from ScannerMaster come with the latest firmware=1.08.14 with the ability to see the "UID"'s....Thank You
Yes it does

Wow, how can they price the unit at that? Most companies who have distribution outlets have certain guidelines for pricing. There's generally a low end limit to protect their channel, but many times there are high end limits as well, or at least "strongly encouraged" high end limits to keep the distributor on as a valid channel. The point of signing on a distributor is to have them sell your equipment, not discourage buyers or direct them to competitive products.

I purchased a Uniden 396xt on 7-7-2010 at The Indianapolis Hamfest from Norm at Hobby Radio Stop for $480.00 and this was a cash price.Has great audio and I am very happy with the radio.

I would look at Hobby Radio out of Ohio and either call or e-mail Norm.Would recomend Norm to anyone who is wanting to buy a scanner.
