Are the receivers in these units the same? I have a BCD-396T, and wondered if the receiver in the BCD-996T is of a higher sensitivity being that it is a mobile/base unit.
My home is in an area of very poor reception in NJ. For a number of reasons, I can't put up an external antenna at this time to try and improve it.
I have, however, erected a RS discone antenna in my attic, fed with 40' of LMR-400. Reception "slightly" improved.
It's frustrating to have a tower 3 miles away and not be able to get reliable reception. I'm sure the right answer is to put an antenna on the roof - but if changing radios will make any difference, I may try that.
Thanks!
