Well after several years of not being able to monitor trunked systems in my area because my old scanner (BC 200XLT) is way outdated, I am going to take the plunge and buy a Uniden BCD 396T. I have been lurking here and recently registered and have learned a lot, but am still reeling from all that's changed with scanners. I am a "technologically challenged" kind of person, I prefer user friendly types of gadgets and I'll admit that I am kind of intimidated by the new scanners.
I am going to pay an extra $30 to have my scanner programmed and I am buying it at a "brick and mortar" store because I can usually understand things better by learning hands on and they have promised to give me a quick tutorial. I printed out the PDF version of the user manual and have been reading articles on the WIKI page.
I'll keep you posted on my impressions and try to aviod a flood of newb questions although I'm sure I'll need to ask a couple sooner or later.
