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.
TrunkTracker IV with Control-Channel Only scanning and I-Call monitoring tracks voice traffic on P25, Motorola, EDACS, and LTR Trunked systems.
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 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.
Get a clear view of unit functions with the multi-colored display.
Get a graphic representation of signal activity, great for finding active channels.
Automatically sets the digital decode threshold for APCO 25 system
Automatically unlocks channels when you cycle power.
The BCD996XT instantly detects and displays the subaudible tone so you can quickly determine system settings.
S.A.M.E., aka Specific Area Message Encoding, weather alerts are supported. During a NOAA Weather or Emergency Alert, a code for your specific location will alert you to severe conditions in your immediate area.
Use Uniden's software for conveniently setting up your scanner without having to do everything individually via the hardware interface.
Provides rapid access to a specific system or channel.
