Ordered Mine Today!!!

[Tramagod]

Well, after several days of research , reading posts, and posting questions
and procrastination, I decided to get the 246T over the 250D. Expected delivery date May 26. So, I've printed out the manual and have started reading, and I can tell right now, I'll probably be posting more questions in the future. I hope the 246 is as good as everybody here says it is, that's pretty much what I based my decision on. Thanks for the posative input and thanks in advance for any future help y'all can provide,

I think you will be happy. Dont forget to get your software!!! Personally I like Butels ARC246T over the Unidens UASD. IMHO it has better features and easier to use.

Congrats on the new 246, must agree with dubbin that sofware is beneficial. Also agree with his opinion on the better software being the ARC246 by butel.

Enjoy!!

It'll be a while before I can afford software, I spent my "Hobby Allowance" on the radio, but, I think I'll give the freeware a shot. It's better than nothing and I've heard some positive remarks about it.

Another vote for the ARC246 software. They are pretty generous with the demo version so give it a try and you'll probably be wanting to buy it soon enough.

And another reassurance that you're going to love the 246T.
Really, other than P25, the only feature I keep wishing it had was the ability to search while scanning like the 396 is supposed to have. I think the scanner is a great bargain.

Hint: Cover the display with some kind of protectant cover (or a case) right away. Mine is already pretty scratched up.

Yeah, I've already thought of that, I'm going to try PDA screen protectors, I think I read a post where some one did that and says it works.

I have them on all of my radios, cameras, GPS units, phones, MP3 player as well as everything else that has a little screen on it and they work great. I picked mine up from RS for only a couple bucks on clearance.
