Does the 396T display freq like 996

[wise871]

I search through the form but I couldn't find the answer. I just received the 396T today and I have it loaded up with all the frequencies. I noticed on the 396T that it doesn't display the frequency on the 3rd line like my 996T does in conventional mode (Mode2). I show the following:

Conventional Mode
L1: System/Group Name
L2: Freq Name (Police, Fire, etc)
L3: NFM C203.5

Trunk Mode
L1: System/Group Name
L2: Freq Name (Police, Fire, etc)
L3: 385.0625 41045

I did the F+5 option but all that does it display the frequency on L2.

Am I missing a step or is this an option on the 996T only.

Thanks

Unfortunately, with the 396, you get the alpha tag or the frequency, not both. There is a 3rd party control for the 396 that will display both:

But as for the scanner by itself, no it won't.

Isn't there a function key that you can press that does display the freq, i have done it once but i cant remember what i did, i think it is at the bc396t discussion on yahoo groups
