Uniden BCD996XT P25 Digital Trunktracker IV Mobile or Base Scanner
This unit was tested, memory cleared and set back to factory settings and of any previous programming.
As a free bonus - I can program this scanner for the area you request prior to shipping for no extra cost.
I have 4 each of these units available at $250 each.
This Listing includes-
BCD996XT Scanner
AC Power adapter
Antenna
A couple of minor scratches on the outside case. Zero scratches on the screen itself.
More detailed description and feature explanations-
You will want this BCD996XT if these are important to you:
* Your listening area has moved to P25 Digital
* You prefer a more solidly built radio.
* You prefer a larger and more detailed display.
* You prefer the Banks/Systems/Groups method of programming.
* You need or want the GPS features.
* You will use the radio in a high interference area.
* You want to have a lot of channels available all the time.
* When fire tone-out capability is important.
* You monitor a large networked system with multiple sites.
The Uniden Bearcat BCD996XT is the follow-up to Uniden's premier mobile scanner, the BCD996T,
which has been discontinued. The 'XT' has more memories (up to 25,000 channels!) and many new features while retaining the 996D's DIN form factor and price.
The BCD996XT receives the APCO P25 (Project 25) digital mode, either in conventional or trunked modes.
Some Motorola systems use a mixture of digital and analog talkgroups, the BCD996XT automatically can monitor either. P25 trunked systems use only digital modulation. The BCD996XT also allows you to set up a special "P25 LP Filter" that can help clear up issues with some digital trunked systems.
The BCD996XT adds such new features as allowing up to 500 talkgroups per trunked system (compared to 200 for the 996D), NAC decoding, Fire Tone out Search and GPS Support. Some of these features have never been available on any scanner before. In addition to all this the latest firmware version even allows individual Unit ID's for identifying specific radios in trunked systems.
The BCD996XT allows you to program up to 25,000 channels. (Remember the days when 20 channels were plenty?
While few would ever need this many available channels, it leaves a nice cushion to allow you to program in all your local and travel scanner frequencies and still have plenty of room left over to explore new channels. The actual total channel capacity is based on total memory usage, so the amount of alpha tags and other items you have programmed will affect the total number of channels you have available.
Average users will likely never fill up the radio but you can have many systems kept in the radio for future use without worry that you will runout of memory space. You can see what percentage of available memory you have by using the menu system. Go to the Settings menu and select "%Memory Used" to see how much memory the radio has in a percentage basis. If you are running low you can delete unused Systems.
With the DMA style programming you do not waste memory on unused channels since bank sizes are not fixed. Instead,
Systems only use the amount of memory needed, space is not wasted on unused channels. On older scanners if you had a bank reserved for railroads in your area and they only used 10 channels the rest of the 40 or 90 channels would have been unused and the memory space wasted.
Price is $250 shipped via USPS priority mail.
Payment can be accepted via Paypal, Venmo, cash or local pickup, item is in Savannah, Ga area.
