Default 796 versus 780

I would keep the BC780's as they are far better radios than the BC796
which is less sensitive and has a slower computer interface. The BC780
is just a classic Uniden radio, best in its class when it was made. It
makes a great MilAir radio and it is useful in scanning those LTR
systems if you have any important ones in your area.

This ham has seven BC780s!

The BC796D may decode digital but it is bested by the PRO-96 digital
scanner made by GRE which is easier to program and the PRO-96 sounds
far better in digital mode. The PRO-96 has built in features like
instant tone decode and the very important Sys ID scan to identify
those trunking system control channels, a feature found only by running
an external computer and a TRUNKER type program with a Uniden scanner.
Add a PRO-96 which is destined to be a digital classic radio to your
collection and keep at least one of your 780's and you have the best
of both worlds, digital and analog.
