SDS series, x36 series, BCD996P2, BCD325P2. I think that's all of them. Joe M.

Oh, and for the record, given the choice between the two, I will take the PRO96 over the 250. Joe M.

Looks aside (really not a valid criteria), let me be more specific: The 250 does not trunk P25 systems, so you have to scan them conventionally. The 250 does not properly decode simulcast systems so i

In what respect? I didn't say anything about the 96. But is has issues with simulcast unless you happen to be in an area with reception of only one tower. Joe M.

A few issues I will comment on (some in agreement - some not). For the purposes of this list, we can set the upper limit at 1300 MHz. Anything above that frequency is really not relevant - even if tru

UHF connectors have too much loss above 300 MHz. Yes, even looping your coax around a connector will 'work' to some degree due to (very) loose coupling. My comment was about working well with acceptab

As good performance wise but the N is more durable. Joe M.

You want an N connector anyway. Why make an antenna and put a connector on it that won't work over half its range? Joe M.

If anyone else has similar SW (or firmware), please feel free to upload them to the FILES section of the group. That way it won't be hard to find scanner SW. This applies to any SW that does not requi

My vote is for digital interference with the digital data being corrupted by the two signal source. That or perhaps the one antenna is a perfect null for that frequency, and it's nulling the signal at

It's a great unit. Benefits: Price, size, and simplicity. Drawbacks: Potential simulcast issues, limited display, only 2 AA cells (lower per-charge life). Joe M.

Based on all I've read so far I would recommend the BCD996P2 unless he has simulcast systems to monitor. Joe M.

An HP-1 or HP-2 would be a much better choice. The BT-885 is not a good scanner for someone to start with. Joe M.

Upgrade or not the cards should all work across all firmware and upgrades. And never send anything but the scanner when sending it in for service. (no cards, batteries, antennas, or anything else) Joe

Along those lines I read of a few people who had service done and it was 'normal processing time'. At least I don't recall it being a long time. Joe M.

After 18 hours? When you have the issue, it will lose the settings within seconds. I can't say you don't have it, but it's certainly not a clear case of it. Joe M.

I've only ever heard of a couple reports about the original issue on this model. Are you sure it simply does not need charged (Run it for a couple days)? Joe M.

One drop? Or is it closer to one egg at a time (into the same basket)? Joe M.

True, but we are talking about warnings, so it's before they happen. A warning about them after they happen is less than useful. Joe M.
