396XT / 996XT UID Display Suggestion

[rcluster]

(I previously posted this on the 396XT yahoo group. Thought it should also get on here for discussion.)

I know this has been discussed a little recently, but I would like to suggest an enhancement for Uniden to consider regarding the choices of screen display modes.

I would like to have the option of screen display mode be selectable by system.

For conventional systems I use Mode 2 which displays the frequency on the 3rd line. For trunked systems the frequency is not as important to me so I would use Mode 3 which puts the UID on the 3rd line. I'm not a big fan of the alternating text display, although it's better than nothing.

I would like the following choices under each system:
Default
Mode 1
Mode 2
Mode 3

Each system would use "Default" unless one of the Modes were selected for that system.

The Default screen display mode would still be selected the same way it is now.

I think it's possible, however the display mode function would need to be re-written to support each system and would change the amount of dynamic memory available. That would be a major change that I don't think would happen on current models.
