I have a Uniden 996, RS 2096, and recently purchased both the GRE 500 and GRE 600. Although really have not had the 500 and 600 long enough to mess with them that much.
I am one that likes to search or keep "open" the TG's. For that reason, due to the unlimited amount of TG's you can alpha tag, I have come to like the GRE the most.
I have my likes and dislikes on all, but so far, have liked my GRE the best.

I own( 6 )of the Uniden BC 996 T's and (2) of the Uniden 396T's for my use. The Uniden 996T base/mobile and the 396T handheld will do digital and also analog mode.

But I hear a GRE is on his Christmas list.
