I was down in San Diego RCS North System and was monitoring with a BCD996P2 with the new latest firmware updated and did not have any trouble with LSM Simulcast issues. Clear as a whistle
The SD City 700 chokes my 996XT's, and even chokes my TRX. WS1098, no issues

I appreciate the advice. Not interested in a handheld, but will start looking for the first two models you mentioned. Will I be missing out on anything in this area by not getting the latest and greatest SDS200? It's pretty expensive, and if a $400 scanner will give me the same local choices, that's just fine. I didn't realize that FreeScan was still under development - thanks for the mention.
Thanks I like the 325 due to the fact I am used to quick keys and the freescan and whatnot thanks for the help.They will be doing some coverage testing the coming week on the NextGen...if you get reliable 396XT decode on the Phase I testing then you should be good to go with a 352.

I'm trying to set up my BCD396XT for the San Diego 700 system. I'm getting strong signal strengths for the ID scans/Search scans as well as during the reception of conversations. However the conversations are clipped/distorted. I'm located in Point Loma at the top of a hill. Anyone have a fix that has worked with their BCD396XT?
Thanks!
I have that distinctive feeling there are going to be lots of disappointed folks when the new system kicks in. The dongle bit won't cut it-sorry the cheapest way usually is not the best. One has to admit this hobby is not cheap. You might swing it with an HP2 better than the others(996P2). With a 536 just maybe. Then again we won't really know as Anderegg has said.
I tested the Uniden BCD325P2 thinking a newer scanner would work better. Still have issues with clipped/distorted conversations. Anyone using the SDS100?
Just had a bad experience. At least reception-wise. My SDS200 is deaf on the south side CC's however my 996XT received no prob. Like WTF. No luck changing filter settings either.
