Stereo headphones for BCD396T?

[Zeus661]

Will stereo headphones (both ears) work in a 396T? Does sound come out of both ear pieces? I know I can purchase an adapter if not. Just wondering if it will work without the adapter. Nothing to test here. Thanks

Can't say for the 396T but the 246T does send audio out to both sides of a stereo headset w/o need of a mono adapter. Haul it to Radio Shack to "test drive" some of their headphones...........you get the picture...or, it says it will right in my manual. Maybe yours does too.

Yes. I've used stereo headphones with my 396.

BR330 outputs to stereo.

I wish the other scanners out there did too. It'd make life much easier.

I know the reason why certain radios don't (Icom R2) and that's because the programming is done via the earphone socket.

Yes, I can pretend to be an `pod-head while listening to my 396t and the sound is sent to both earbuds. But after some looking I decided to get a single earbud (http://www.listentech.com/products/LA-161_overview.php). A pair (keeping one for a spare) set me back well under $20 and they work great.
