Uniden BCD996T Question

[DaveA]

I know the scanner has 6,000 channels but how many "banks" are there? How many channels per Bank?

Memory Storage Limits

Total Channels - 6000

Creation of systems and channel groups use channel slots. The actual total channel count will be less than 6000.

( banks) Systems - 500

Sites - 1000

Sites per Systems - 256

(sub-banks) Groups per System - 20

Channels per Conventional Systems - 1000

(Talk Group ID) Channels per Trunked Systems - 250

Trunked Frequencies per Site 750 - 1000 (depending on the number of TGID in the system)

Alpha-tags do not affect the size of dynamic memory.

If you're thinking about buying the BC996T, you won't be disapointed with the "bank/channel" capacity of the unit, I've had my 996 for about a month now and I don't worry about maxing out the memory.

I intentionally maxed out the conventional memory this weekend. As per posted specifications, it has 6000 conventional channels. I had them with PL/DPL, but not many alpha-numeric channel names. If you want you can think of each "system" as a "bank". So, in essence, you could have 500 "banks" of 12 conventional channels each.

Or 1 bank of 6000 channels (or billions of other combinations in between).

If it's like mine, fill 'er up with 6K and you'll sit there til' Halloween for it to cycle thru one time.
