whats the best top new one or bottom old one ?

[ct1396]

Short answer..top new one cuz it can do digitial trunked systems, but, it has been replaced by the BC996XT model.

What is the Frequnsy of wisconsin Police ?

[ct1396]

I don't know. I live in Connecticut.  Google "Wisconsin Frequency"

[radioxdeath]

can the 785 do nfm on vhf?

for example 154.8525? or 155.0925? I've been looking to get a newer scanner that can do this my 2 meter radios don't have NFM nor any of my scanners

[ct1396]

Yes it does-u just have to set the MHz step when entering a freq.

I had the BC-780XLT years ago and loved that thing. This was a major step up in scanner quality and overall features when Uniden came out with this model. At the time I used it for everything except aircraft, but from everything I've read about the 780 indicates it is one the best for aircraft monitoring (among other things obviously). Uniden had the market cornered at the time when this scanner was introduced, but it was rather pricey for the time. This was the new standard in scanners.

I used to have a 780xlt and then a 785xlt. Those were the absolute BEST scanners I ever owned until re-banding came along and sort of handicapped things :(

I just ordered a BCD996XT and I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival this week. I considered the Home Patrol model but opted for the 996XT instead. I already own a PSR-600 and love it but wanted to try out the 996 because I LOVE the display in this thing!

Very nice setup you have there :)

On the 996t are green & orange the only display colors
