BCD996T REVIEW

In Larry Van Horn's "First Look" review of the new Uniden BCD996T base/mobile scanner in the July Monitoring Times, there was an error in the continuation from page 71 to page 73. Table 1 was repeated, and the final paragraph of text was omitted. Here are the final two paragraphs which includes the missing text. Our apologies for the error!
-------------------------------------------
Finally, while the GPS capability is a neat feature, it is very labor and research intensive to get it up and operating. I am sure that with time, like other aspects of the scanner hobby, information will be shared through the internet to aid hobbyists in programming location information for a variety of radio systems nationwide. But that will be at some point down the road and probably only a few will fully utilize the GPS features in this scanner in the near term.

Bottom line, this is one heck of a scanner. This unit is the most advanced and feature rich radio scanner ever released by any radio company. No scanner in the marketplace even gets close to the BCD996T in features, listening capability, and overall performance, especially in its price range. There is a lot of scanning capability loaded into this small package. So if you are looking for one unit that does a lot, with the features you could only dream about three years ago, this is it – the first, truly high tech base/mobile scanner of the 21st century.
