I have a RS Pro-2096 scanner currently, which actually has a damaged mainboard (bought another damaged one on eBay that had a bad LCD, so I'm looking to fix it up). Anyways, I'm caught between just keeping the 2096 or selling it on eBay for around $300 or so, and then pickup the 396T which goes for a bit under $400 on eBay.
I was looking at the 996 but I would really like a portable so I can bring it in the house to monitor stations, versus just in the car.
So basically what I'm asking, is if you guys think that the 396T would be a worthy upgrade from the 2096 (ignoring the portable vs base difference). What kinds of features does the 396 offer over then 2096? Have you guys had positive results with your radio?
