I have a Home Patrol 1 and just purchased a BCD396XT! However, when I run them side-by-side, the HP1 seems to engage P25 talk much faster than the 396XT! I combed the forums and read about changing the P25 delay from default of 400 to 0, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. In example, I will miss the first word or two of transmission received on the HP1 before the XT kicks it in. And if the only spoken transmission from a unit or dispatcher is "10-4", I will get it on the HP1, but often miss it on the XT. Both units (btw) were programmed using the same database off of RR, so no difference of me making some manual differences (other than the P25 delay setting I mentioned earlier).
I am struggling to make it right as the 396XT is really an impressive scanner, and its portability and ease of programming I would love to stay with it, however, I cannot accept the difference in reception, and if I cannot get a fix to this, it will have to go back to the store.
Can someone provide a fix, or is it one of those distinct differences in quality between the HP 1 and the XT?
Thanks in advance
