Hello I'm new to the fourm. I've been thinking about getting a 396 or 996 scanner for monitoring police, fire, utilites, ect. I was origionally going to get a 996 but it's not as easy to carry with you but seems to have more features.
I was recently going to buy a 396 for it's portability but then read in the fourm about the lettering rubbing off. It seems Uniden is planning to fix the problem but it will take six months. I'd rather wait until the problem is fixed but that may not be until Feb. or March 07. I'd like to buy a digital scanner sooner than that.
My question is does the 996 have the same problem with the lettering as the 396? Also, is the problem with the 396 that big of a deal? I would appreciate some thoughts of experienced Uniden users who own one or both scanners.
Thanks.
