The Uniden BCD996XT may look the same as its similarly named predecessor, the BCD996T, but inside it's a whole lot different. The new scanner significantly raises the bar with improved APCO-25 digital decoding as well as a host of new features and more memory. For those who like GPS scanning, a feature no other manufacturer offers, you can now enable and disable not only systems but groups as well. It offers a band-scope feature, a fire tone out search feature to help you determine the tone out frequencies being used, improved close call, APCO-25 NAC code decoding, and more.
Digital Mobile Scanner with 25,000 Channels and GPS Support
TrunkTracker IV Technology
TrunkTracker IV with Control-Channel Only scanning and I-Call monitoring tracks voice traffic on P25, Motorola, EDACS, and LTR Trunked systems.
"Close Call" Technology
The BCD996XT features close call RF capture technology, which allows it to instantly tune to signals from nearby transmitters, so you can stay on top of what's going on in your vicinity.
Location-Based Scanning
Location-Based scanning automatically selects programmed systems based on your location when connected to a compatible GPS receiver. The BCD996XT also features GPS support for location alerts and crows-flight navigation, with independent GPS control of sites and channel groups.
