I see the scanner, on-sale. That is a great price! Buy it if you can.

Then when you surf around the scanners to Digital Scanners & Police Scanners: Radios | RadioShack.com

It shows the same scanner for $599.00 out of stock.

What is WRONG with them?

Way to go! I'm very tempted, but all I found was ship-to-store. Thanks for posting that.

Radio Shack also has them listed on ebay if you or anyone wants to go that route.

I'm sure it's not the lowest price ever, but still - $399 is pretty good for someone looking to save a buck.

If you wanna pay 425 dollars for a 106 or 197 be my guest.I think 399 dollars is a pretty good deal.

Hey that's fine with me i was just trying to save people some money who were interested in buying a 396xt.If you want to spend 70 to a 100 dollars more buying from some place that does not have it on sale be my guest.

all my local dayton area had were demos and I ordered new and it shipped free with a fifty dollar purchase. Why not get a new instead of a refurb from Uniden, all I paid was sales tax so at least Im supporting somewhat the State of Ohio

jvdet · #12 (**permalink**) 01-13-2013, 8:12 AM

I paid $400 cash when they first came out while at Dayton Ham fest from Norm when did the prices go up ? that now its a sale price of $400

KC0CSE · #13 (**permalink**) 01-13-2013, 11:04 AM

are there any coupons for radioshack that can be added with the sale price of the uniden?.....I thought there was a $20.00 off coupon with purchase over $175 can't find it???

$399 is a decent new price. Too bad there isn't enough demand to bring digital scanner prices down. I know digital scanners are more expensive to design, build, and support than analog - but if they could sell them for $250 or less then they'd sell a lot more. I can't justify buying digital scanners new, so I buy them used. I've gotten a BCD396XT for $230, a 996XT for $225, and a 996T for $166. All were like new, not a thing wrong with them. Problem is that when I get a good deal, I can't resist turning them around for a profit so I can get some other toy.

I would have to agree with you 100% I'm still looking for coupon to go with the on sale item...every promo code I put in is rejected!

Maybe cheap sdr devices will work for ya! Then you could listen to just about anything.

I did also I see the 996xt is $419 also.My 396 arrived wed afternoon and I am loving it nice addition to the collection.

Another reason not to deal with Radio Shack - they put an item on sale, and tell you the sale price is valid until January 24th. Then they extend the sale to Feb 2nd, but raise the price 20 bucks, a week or so before the 24th. Unreal.

Shoot them down by taking that ad in with you for them to see! I did this for a different item after they jacked up the price and I still got it for the sale price. They weren't even aware of the sale price!
