Uniden has dropped the ball!
Have just spent the weekend with the new 396XT, programming it up for a major news broadcaster hear in Canada, and post mobile test run driving around for a couple of hours yesterday testing all the systems out what a HUGE dissapointment the audio is (via headphone jack to a Undien 12watt extension speaker). man oh man, I have my own personal 396T to judge against and I would say conservatively that they have dropped the audio bye 10-15 % on the headphone jack WTF ?? Internal speaker sound (lousy at best) is comparable to 396T but out of headphone in mobile mode which is most of my listening , no comparison. Now don't get me wrong, I support Uniden big time , but this one really dropped the ball, Uniden consistently delivers awesome scanner products, but handheld audio blows. It is a shame that they don't appear to listen to what we are saying about handheld audio (espescially with people used to pro-audio sound form various pro handhelds Moto,Kenwood , Icom etc)
comeon Undien give us some decent audio circa 200 xlt days
What do you think ??
