BCD396XT Preprogrammed Systems

Does anyone know if the preprogrammed systems in the 396XT are the same as the 396T or have they added to them? I think they are a great help!
I tried to go online to Uniden and look at the 396XT manual online but it seems to be a new and improved online manual and I can't find the list of preprogrammed systems for the XT.
I think I liked the old way better where you could see the actual manual online.
Thanks

The list is different. Sorry I haven't gotten the list up on the TWiki, yet. It was an orginal oversight that I hope to correct this week. I believe that there is another post that does list the systems.

Does anyone have the Pre-programmed systems in a zip file??
I would like to see how they set up the Illinois starcom system (trying to figure out how to program it before I buy one)

See the attached file in this post.
Unzip the file & open it in FreeScan.

The manual has been updated with that information:

The ILL-Starcom21 700/800 system is preprogrammed in SQK-28 with about 76 Sites and talkgroups in GQK1....Some 800mgz freqys listed in these Sites do not seem to be listed in any "towers" listed in the Home Page list of towers...I have numbered each site so i know what site is what when the scanner chooses one....

Hi UPMan,
Thanks again for posting the preloaded systems for the 396XT. It looks like there are fewer in the XT than there are in the T. For instance, there is no New York preloaded system or Boston or Florida.
I was wondering what the thinking was around this. In a scanner with so much more memory I thought you might add to the list but not take away.
By the way...thanks so much for adding Connecticut to the list.
