The 396XT units seem to have a component that fails fairly often that will knock out everything above 29 MHz as I recall. Try the NOAA Weather channels and then try the CB Bands or anything below 29 MHz and see what happens. Not sure if this is a mixer, switching component or a amplifier stage...

Bearcat Warehouse did have some in stock, I called to confirm a few weeks ago, they told me they had them. I ordered one and had it the next day as I recall. BC Warehouse is only about 1 hour from my location. I original ordered from HRO and this turned out to be a disaster. They posted they...

Not legal in Texas at this time!

Thank you for your confirmation, would be interesting to see if anyone claims they have noticed a difference with the features enabled. Would be VERY nice to get these features working as designed with some guidance for set up when there are multiple settings other than just OFF and ON.

Unfortunately the entire AGC thing is a mess across all scanners from the HP1 (if it has AGC, cannot recall) 396/996XT, 325P2/996P2, 436/536 and now the SDS100/SDS200 IMHO. I really think the term AGC is incorrect as well. Unclear where and how the AGC circuitry is implemented in these radios...

Can anyone confirm the V+ value? 3.3V, 5 Volts or other?

I am guessing and hoping some form of spectral or waterfall display option will be offered and/or a remote head unit.

I believe my SDS100 is a fairly early run unit, I will need to check the serial number. With earlier firmware versions FMB was really bad. On some stations, signal was not bad but about every 10 seconds or so the signal dropped out like the radio was on a Priority for another frequency. As time...

Concur on a number of levels!

Guess we will need to wait for the SDS105, SDS110 or SDS125 handheld to be released with a new hardware design to perform as expected??

I have noticed this for McLean/Reston District quite often. Usually during quieter hours. Never was able to fully follow why they seemed to work 2 Districts from one Dispatch Talkgroup. If things flare up, often they would move resources working an incident to the idle District channel.

Is there a reason that WFM/FMB cannot perform better on the SDS100? The SDS100 is not really usable for the entire FMB band across the full spectrum, some portion sounds tolerable, but at least in the upper range say above 104 MHz things really fall apart and sound pretty bad. The radio really...

What you choose to do with your radios and how you choose to use your radios is your personal preference. You are adding NOTHING to this thread. I expected useless comments like this. As I said there are REASONS I need to use the scanner for FM Broadcast band. Additionally the SDS100 DOES NOT...

So I have both a SDS100 and SDS200 and when checking/comparing WFM/FM Broadcast between the 2 units with the same antenna the SDS200 seems to have SUPERIOR WFM/FM Broadcast performance. Less garbled and static filled FM Broadcast channels on the SDS200 when compared to the SDS100. I recall...

While I have been traveling and have not listened to a LOT of FCFD Automated Dispatch, I did hear some of it as it was being implemented and it was enabled and disabled a number of times over the past month or so. I was listening this morning and I heard a few Automated Dispatches where ALS was...

Have not played with the Replay much, but tried it a few times this morning and it seemed to work as expected. As you mentioned, could have been a bad Micro SD card. I usually get a 2nd card and set it up and keep it updated the same as the operational card. On handhelds I tape it inside the...

If the backlight has timed out/display is blank, turning the Volume or Squelch should bring the display back on so you can see what value the Volume/Squelch is set to . I have 8 scanners together and since the Volume/Squelch knobs are swapped around when compared to other models it would be nice...

Would be interesting to see if something like this would work. $30 and in a small package already. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rexing-gps-logger-for-rexing-dash-cam/5855126.p?skuId=5855126
