Correct, but with C-Ch Output on I don't have to scan a 2nd system to have the issue start happening.
That is good to hear! Feel free to message me here if you have any questions about the issues we have been experiencing.
policefreak: PM sent.
436
Sounds like the audio we get from the BCD436hp on phase 2 ,must be the same chips!

I really wanted the 996P2 but this phase 2 issue needs to be addressed on all radios before that happens.

Is this firmware or hardware?
I am very close to getting this unit, mostly because of the lack of other bug reports and because of the much larger number of bugs in the 436/536.
My question is, do you think this is an issue that will be resolved in firmware or will it require hardware?
If it is firmware, I can go ahead and make the purchase; if otherwise I should wait.
Thanks for the opinions.

If I were you, I would wait!
I have been waiting 365 days, and I am still waiting.

Wait.....by all means.....W-A-I-T !!! You never know how long a fix, either simple or complex, is going to take to resolve these days in regards to Uniden scanners.
I called Uniden about this issue and the guy I spoke to said a firmware update is in the works and should be released within two weeks
Yep, hope it happens soon! I wanted to speak to someone about it to make sure it was going to be fixed.
Thanks. Wouldn't it be great if all the problems could be fixed with firmware? I would love to see NFM but I know that is just a pipe dream.
NFM on which model?
From what I have read, and most more knowledgeable poster are really irate, none of the high end models have this. But I could be wrong and I don't want to vary from the OP's topic.
Sorry, I didn't realize that the BCD996P2 wasn't considered a high end model. The high price confused me.
Check the prices again. The BCD536HP costs about $100-150 more.
The P2 is not a low tier model (that would be the BCT15X), but it is not the high tier model either. The P25 capability adds considerably to the price, but the P2 is the lowest price mobile digital scanner Uniden currently makes (and has ever made).

I did. Up until the big price drop a couple of days ago, the price difference between the 436HP and the 996P2 was $11. I know they are base and portable but usually there is a bigger difference than $11.
In any case as the 996P2 has no NFM filter and is not a top of the line model, I'll cross it off the list.
