So, I have a BC-780XLT and the programming software. I'm interested in expanding my capabilities and performance level so am looking for suggestions. This is for base operation and I'm not interested in a handheld at the moment. The 780 does trunk-tracking fairly well and scans quickly.
Living in Tidewater, VA means that in addition to the usual Public Safety traffic, there is a wide range of MILCOM traffic. I'm within range of NAS Oceana, NAS Norfolk, AIRSTA E. City, the Dare Bombing Range, GIANTKILLER/VACAPES, NAB Littlecreek, etc........
The RF performance of the 780 especially with regard to intermod is mediocre and that's being kind.
We have a few flavors of APCO-25 here also.
So, is there a step up from the 780 ?
Thanks !
