RH96 question

[yorkphotog]

I've been looking to get an RH96 for quite some time, but didn't feel the price was right!

I found a brand new one on eBay from a good seller in Australia for $99, plus shipping to Canada. It works out to $150 US.

Decent deal?

RH96 price

Sounds like a good deal... they are still selling for $200US at Scannermaster. I've been thinking about purchasing one myself. I'm told, however that they don't function with the newer 396XT, but I haven't verified that myself.

Regards,

It will work with the new XT's. You will just have to do a firmware update. You will also not get the screen color changes.

I've used the RH96 with the 396XT for over 20+ hours without any problems/issues. Had to upgrade the firmware and now works like a champ.

Seeing as Uniden discontinued the RH96 without announcing a new replacement, I'd bet Uniden has no intentions of making a replacement. Get em while they last??

G'day,

Be aware that the Australian RH96 has a different firmware, it may not work with an American 396 and vice versa. I have tried my Australian RH96 with an American 396 it simply doesn't recognise it.

Took 1 minute with Google to do some comparative shopping:

Uniden sells them new for $159.99US.

Scannerworld sells them for $138.99US.

I'll let you decide whether you're getting a good deal since I did the google work.
