BC796D BASE SCANNER?? I went to HRO, and let me tell you....I can pay
for a trip to Europe for that kinda money on what they were asking
for...like around 515$.....Thats very pricey IMHO....

1. You'll be missing a lot if you settle for the 796 instead of
getting the 396 or waiting for the 996.

2. The price is about normal - $500-$550 for a digital trunking
scanner.

3. http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR for
frequencies, talkgroups, etc. Download the Uniden UASD for the
BCD396-T and you'll be able to program the frequencies, talkgroups,
etc. Then, if you buy a Uniden that comes with UASD software, you'll
be able to program the scanner with the software and the system files
you've saved.
