Heya all and happy holidays.

I turn 21 on Monday, November 28th this year, and so I thought I’d splurge and finally get a true base station.

I already have a Unication G4 that I bought earlier this year and I love it. However, there has been some trade offs.

I’m looking for a base uniden like the BCD996P2. Reason being is that although the Unication is the perfect receiver for my use case, it’s usability as a base scanner is slim. It’s good for when I’m traveling and I want to pick up certain talk groups only. However, when I’m at my house or at a family member’s it’s really stubborn sometimes.

Is the BCD996P2 worth the money? Does it have nearly the same reception range as the Unication?

thanks.
