Going to think twice before I buy another Uniden radio. had one update so far on bcd996xt 500.00 dollars is a lot of money, and thier done with it! and the home patrol had a couple all ready. smh
What in the world are you saying?

He stated a fact, nothing wrong with that. Some users here feel the XT model need some attention, that Uniden seems to overlook.
well.........I am still waiting on my pro-2032, pro-2040,pro-2053 and etc. to update as well......dang it....
what updates do people want for the 996XT??? (please dont say provoice TDMA etc)....
Ive seen people state they want firmware updates but dont state what they need fixed... I think some people just want firmware updates just for the sack of having them or feeling like they are getting something more.
the 996XT for me has been a perfect scanner.. audio is amazing (for me)... ive had NO defective units/returns and it does everything it was promised it would do from the start + more (unit id's were added)
Going to think twice before buying another GM car again. Im still waiting for my 2000 Chev Malibu to get an update as well... I mean $23,000 (canadian) and no updates from Chevrolet or GM... ! And they are done with it?? Yet the newer 6th generation Malibu's have had a couple updates already !!

I want a fix for the terrible digital decoding on my 396XT. I have error rates over 50 on a regular basis. The audio is amazing. Amazingly bad.
The original post and my reply was about the 996XT...
That being said I have no problems with the decoding on the 50x 396XT scanners ive used myself as long as its connected to a good antenna (for me) it decodes amazingly well !
I wish the volume was a bit louder but thats a hardware due to the small sized speaker... not a firmware update solution.
The XT upgrades may be a joke to you, but not to others, wise guy!
Simply stating an example... im tired of hearing people asking for firmware updates just because they want an update and complaining because uniden went onto a different model.
I think my example was not a joke but a reality. is it not true??? GM keeps going onto other models and not updating my Malibu!!!
Thanks for calling me wise, I appreciate it.
Read above... The original poster has even said the unit is great he just wants a firmware upgrade and is mad uniden went onto another model.
You just don't get it, the XT models to some have problems that could be corrected by putting things back that were taken out with the new model.
I won't go back and forth with you, you appreciate wise, I should have said the back end of a horse.
Its been a great radio! but when buy it and 4 months they come out with another one. I see some people get upset here wont post no more.
There are a vocal couple of folks around here that would have you believe because both of them have had issues that means all XT scanners have issues and the whole line of scanners should be recalled. Obviously that is not the case overall as evident by other responses in this thread and in this forum in the past. Is any scanner perfect? No, but the overall positive satisfaction feedback with the XT line of radios speaks volumes.
To sum up: Both the 396XT & 996XT are current models of scanners still being sold and the HP-1 is a scanner that is targeted towards a different userbase than the XT line and is not a successor to the XT line.
