I have not tried a 500 MHz system, but the 2096 does track my 400 MHz DOD system.
Now you may have to set the table(s) up to receive the system. The base, offset and step. If the system has more than one table, then the only way to get it to work properly is to use software to program the scanner. The scanner cannot do more than one table manually.
Where is the system located. It should have the table info in the DB for your settings.
