Question RF Perfomance of new models (BCD396XT, BC346XT, BCD996XT, BCT15X)

UPMan,

Please clear situation with new Uniden scanners: BCD396XT, BC346XT, BCD996XT, BCT15X.

Whether any changes have been made in RF Front End/IF units to improve dynamic range, sensitivity, selectivity & etc?

The design goal was to maintain the current RF specifications or better.

Ок of what I do a conclusion, that no changes have been done. And those users who have heard them, only bathe in illusions.

"...or better..."

plainspeak = the 396t sensitivity was an experiment for the much improved bcd396xt sensitivity.

English much?
I don't think anyone is going to take your posts seriously until you learn to form cohesive, readable messages. The current batch of Uniden XT scanners are far from "entry-level toys". And "scanner situation is very bad"? What?
Why do I have the feeling I am replying to one of the characters in Zero Wing? All your Base are belong to us?

You're making fun of him because his English isn't very good? Nice.

1. You need to check the price of the Motos compared to the Uniden.

2. I don't think Marshall's making fun of him. Post #7 above is almost unintelligible.

UPman, you are a Uniden employee of sorts?

Does Uniden ever plan to produce a high quality VHF/UHF receiver? I understand the demand for digital and trunking units but there is more out there than that. Would be nice to see a heavy, large VFO desktop receiver that had great RF performance. 500 to 1000$ price range.

What models?

Icom no longer offers a high table top receiver to the USA non government sales.

What Kenwood?

Right now there is nothing out there but the AOR-5000 and its 3 grand.

So the companies that used to be in the market, have not seen it worthwhile to stay there?

Hmmm, yep sounds like a good use of resources to me.

You are convinced of that I can tell, but I am not. I think there is still a market there for them.

Then it is time for you to get a few investors and start a company.
