Idea for scanner

[rjyoung]

Any idea when we can expect a new Uniden model to come out? With prices for digital models in the $500.00 plus range, it is difficult to justify getting more radios. I was about to pick up a RH96 remote, but reconsidered after reading about some of its shortcomings. As a result I have been thinking about a wish list. One thing that comes to mind, is a Motorola convertable I used in the early 1980's. It would be great if I could take my handheld, drop it into a unit that makes it a mobile powering an amplified speaker with a remote head. Since I program my 396T via a pc, I have little need for a keyboard.

Considering the XT line came out just last year it might be awhile.

And not a bad dream. I would buy one of 'em.

What shortcomings are you referring to?

Dedicated power, does turn power to scanner on or off, does not provide to amplified speaker. These might not be exactly short comings, but I decided it was not what I was looking for.
