i'd still like to see the sensitivity and audio specs.
Nice that they have the 'Auto' mode for AM/FM/NFM. But, it looks as if the freqency steps are locked into the old 95's ancient 5KHz steps in the 118-174MHz VHF band.

Stock BNC same as older models?
I'd also like to know if the "PC connectivity" is the same for "Freescan" to deal with it?
One more thought, what is the antenna going to be? Stock BNC same as older models?
unless i am mistaken or missing something, the scanner will only be narrow band compliant in the uhf side where there are 6.25 khz. Steps. They did not put the 7.5 khz. Steps on the vhf side, only 5 khz. Can someone from uniden please explain why this is being done? Furthermore, all the step sizes appear to be fixed! This is a problem. The 8.33 khz steps on the air band are not in place in the us yet, we are still using 25 khz. Step sizes.

They're going to say they're keeping the price down anmd CAN'T have "everything". On the other hand there should a few "standards" for new scanners, namely 6.25kHz, 7.5 kHz, 8.33 kHz steps, PL/DPL decoding,computer control, alphatags. Those are the bare minimum standards. NOTICE I didn't include stuff like trunking or digital, we're talking absolutely need
