Thanks for the kind words from all of you. Also, those PL wife feature comments are hilarious!
I guess I am a lucky man. My wife's father is a retired firefighter. My wife grew up with scanners/radios in the house. My wife says the scanners were on in the house 24/7. As a matter of fact, my father-in-law is the person who got me into the radio hobby. I'm certainly thankful my father-in-law introduced me to the scanner hobby.
Thus far, I am enjoying my new BDC396. It's a fantastic radio. Not quite the audio quality of my RS Pro-96; howver, the BCD396 is loaded with more features and offers a more user-friendly software/menu interface than the Pro-96, IMO. Both are great radios, though.
