As far as frequency and TG memory is concerned, there is an unlimited number of writes to that part of the memory. It is the operating system (firmware) of the scanner that has a limited number of write cycles.

Now I could be off base on this part, but the TG and frequency information is probably in dynamic RAM, and the firmware is probably in EEPROM hence the limited number of re-writes for it.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your time and answering my question.

So what is the problem with the 1.08.07 firmware? I just got the 396T yesterday and I haven't checked which firmware version I have. I downloaded 5 (I think) software items from Uniden last night so I could program the unit using the PC. I plugged the scanner into the computer and it hooked up fine.

OK...I checked the firmware. I have version 1.13.17 . Is that OK or should I do an upgrade?
Thanks!

That is a very recent version, if not the most recent. If you like the way it is performing there is no need to change it.
