You can call 800.554.3988 to get the price and place the order. The speaker for the 396XT should be the same one the 396T uses.
Well I am assuming the internal speaker does not work. It very well could be needing just a simple soldering job. Either way if I cannot find a local to help, glad to know I have gracious members here willing to do it. If Uniden no longer sells the speaker, then I fear having my radio thoroughly checked out and repaired for around Christmas time when I get $50 dollars to treat myself is coming to an end. Ugh life can be a pita at times.

Greetings all,
If not, then I guess I'm going to have to save up even more to buy a lapel external speaker for it as well.

Rylak:
I've been looking over the replies on this thread, and the one thing I have not noticed (among all the good advice) is DO NOT BUY AN EXTERNAL LAPEL SPEAKER !
Particularly the one at ScannerMaster that also has the sma connector for the rubber duckie antenna.
Uniden handhelds will not tolerate having the antenna & speaker commons shorted together. This greatly improves the volume and will burn up the front end of the radio. I almost did this to my 396T!
Check some other threads for this topic.
Enjoy the radio. I will not replace mine with the XT for al the features it added, mine is still a better radio! (although I did upgrade to the HP-1 as well)
