From Uniden Paul aka UPMan:
We expect to start shipping units out to our distributors the last week of March.
How long it takes to make it through the supply chain and into dealers hands is unknown...but usually just a couple of days.
All distributors will get the product at about the same time (we'll ship to all distributors simultaneously).
I have no way of knowing which dealer will be first to have inventory.

BCD396XT Instock in some places starting WEDNESDAY March 25th, 2009.

Thanks for posting this! I was snooping around online for some info, should have just stayed here!

Anyone got to beta test them???

Anybody here planning on buying a 396XT?

FYI, the RR wiki page indicates that bcTool supports the 396XT. This is wrong. The author of bcTool is swamped with his paying job and will not commit on a date that he will be able to update the program to support the 396XT. Freescan is the only game in town right now.

My 396XT should be here tomorrow morning and I will let you guys know how it goes.

I've been playing with my 396XT for a week now and I give it a big thumbs up. Putting sites under systems is cool in multiple ways. The storage is huge, NAC decoding, adjustable charge on batts. ...

The sensitivity on 800 is definitely better than the 396T. With some highly un-scientific testing, the XT seems a couple of bars (whatever that means) better than the T.

How better is the sound quality? And the trunking on the RCS? (quite a bit when Im listening to the RCS and say Lemon Grove TG I assume they are talking too fast like I see LNK it blinks P25 with no voice and repeats till a longer convo happens)


Proscan is also working on getting the new scanners working with their software. http://www.proscan.org/

Also what San Diego Scanners think about the new vs the 396t/996t?

The sound is better, a little more bass and a little more volume than the the 396T. The XT has the option of setting the TGs to digital only or analog only so the motorboating is non-existent on the XT. The sensitivity on 800 is quite a bit better on the XT than the T.

Uniden provides software for the 396 and 996, so no need to worry about that.

Yes, but not for the 396XT. It is coming but it hasn't been released yet. Actually there are two programs for loading freqs. in the 346/396XT. Proscan and Freescan.
