I have been running my 396XT for 2 and a half years 24/7 with the backlight on even, and have not seen any degradation whatsoever. I sometimes search a range of frequencies, and other times scan maybe 1-2 K of freqs, depending on certian things. It shouldn't make a difference what you are actually scanning. I thought by now my LED backlight would have dimmed but it has not. I record and log frequencies on that one and have another 396XT for normal use.

I've been running nine BCD396T's and BCD396XT's for many years 24 x 7.

You can look at the link of my 'Shack Photos' above and see six BCD396T's and a BCD396XT from years ago.
They are still running and so are a few more that I added.

Or, check out this CC DND video I put on youtube years ago.

Not a single problem ever. ;) (so far)

Well I know of a BC560XLT that has been running for twenty years non stop with no issues.
