Hi Guys, I'm a newbie here and a rookie scanner. I have used my dads old Uniden BC92XLT for the past few years, but am looking to upgrade. I am looking and thinking about the 996. I tried the Radio Shack Pro-163. The guy at the Shack, did me a "favor" and cloned the display program for me. Well, long story short, I had to lockout several channels and it just didn't sound clear compared to the old 92xlt. One of my biggest complaints with the scanner was the inability to turn the volume down low and still have it audible. I like to listen at night time while my wife sleeps, like I do with the 92. With the 163, it seemed that there was no happy medium, either too loud, or unable to be heard. How is the volume control on the 996? What would be the best software to program the unit? Also, I am wondering about the difficulty to program and operate such a high end scanner. Radio Shack said they use Scancat-lite to program their units. I live in upstate NY, near Utica, I am looking for suggestions, comments or recommendations.
Thanks for your help.
