My new 996P2 is arriving today, and I'm like:
That's what this place is for.Thanks all. Should be here this afternoon. In the meanwhile, I've been watching and re-watching all the YouTube vids I can get my hands on. Should have a good handle on it, but I'm sure I'll have questions.
Will let you know when the eagle has landed.
That's what this place is for.
Hope you also have downloaded Freescan, which works well with that radio.

Hi Mark and thanks!
FreeSCAN is what I use with my 246T, which makes me hopeful that I may be able to transfer most of my stuff over when the 996P2 arrives. I've been looking at Proscan, but haven't really made a decision on that one yet (I can't really tell if there are any features in Proscan that I would use enough to justify the cost.)
And not to hurt any feelings, but I have no use for the any of the ARC programs. Personal preference, just saying.
You should be able to transfer everything from your 246T, which makes it nice because all the same quick keys will be in play on both radios the same.Hi Mark and thanks!

I was a big fan of the 996T/996XT but my last few scanner purchases have been Home Patrols due to all the traveling I do.
I grabbed a WS-1098 back in May and have been using that for DMR monitoring at home but never really got the hang of it and the display is just too small for my old eyes.
I was relieved when Uniden announced the DMR upgrade for the 996P2. I could return to a familiar interface and a display that was much easier to read. The Whistler is now in a box on the floor and the Uniden has taken it's place.
I've never tried Proscan but decided to give it a try and so far I'm impressed. I was impressed enough that I ended up registering it this morning. I've found a few bugs that I'm going to try and duplicate before reporting them but I'm hopeful they'll be resolved.
My new 436hp was supposed to be in tomorrow. I was wishing, all morning, that I'd paid for faster shipping. To my surprise, it showed up today. Early Christmas for me....

Wait what?? The 996P2 has an upgrade also??? Thought they only did 436/536?? Am I reading that right?
