Hello, Doing some research on the 396 digital scanner, and confused about the dynamic memory, can anyone explain the systems , groups and channels in comparison to the old banks, talkgroups, channnels? and do channel numbers show when conventional channels have traffic or just alpha tag for conventionals. thanks, just need a little clarification before I purchase. scannerdweeb.

DO a search there was just a discussion on this very thing last week. Both conventional and trunked. And you can have alpha tag or talk group number display. 16 characters either way. Buy it is worth it.

Dynamic Memory Architecture is Uniden's implementation for storing and organizing systems, sites, groups, channels, and talkgroups in a scanner.
A scanner that implements Dynamic Memory Architecture has a pool of memory to store any programmed data. The pool is divided into blocks.
A system is the top-most element that can be created in DMA. Within each system, a number of Groups can be created. Within each Group, a number of Channels (for a conventional System) or Talkgroups (for a trunked System) can be created.
Some scanners also allow multiple Sites to be programmed for a trunked System.
Each System, Site, Group, Channel, or Talkgroup will occupy one or more blocks.
Usually, each System can be assigned a System Quick Key, to provide easy access to enable the System to be scanned. If the scanner implements Sites to be programmed for a System, usually each site may be programmed with a Site Quick Key. Likewise, Groups can usually be assigned a Group Key Quick.
The number of memory blocks varies by scanner. The allowable number of Systems, Groups within a System, and Channels/Talkgroups within a Group also vary by scanner model.
