(AUDIO) Uniden Bearcat BCD396T TrunkTracker IV™ technology

Just some misc audio from a few different agencies.(Audio starts at 0:49) The Bearcat BCD396T with TrunkTracker IV™ technology, offers APCO 25 digital capability, allowing users to monitor the activities and signals of city and government service departments, utilizing advanced scanner technology in an all new compact, handheld design. Featuring APCO 25 capability, Uniden's BCD396T is poised to improve interoperability between large cities currently using the digital systems and those smaller municipalities that still operate on analog systems. Uniden's BCD396T will not permit users to monitor encrypted signals from national and local security organizations. Preprogrammed coverage for over 400 cities is built in!

The Bearcat BCD396T also offers Close Call™ RF Capture Technology, Dynamic Memory Management, Fire Tone-Out as well as 5,500 channels. Frequency coverage is: 25-512, 764-776, 794-956 (excluding cellular), 1240-1300 MHz in AM/FM/NFM/WFM modes. Search steps are: 5, 6.25, 7.5, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 kHz.

That thing sounds just like mine...like shit!

[KSON973]

@skypilot0077 No it dosen't. It sounds great in person. Get some better computer speakers!

receiving apco25 is one thing, however in Australia the police have gone apco25 but it is encrypted which means it is close to impossible to crack and no scanner is capable of doing it, so yes you can receive apco25 but if it is encrypted, good luck. oh if you do find a way, let me know ;)

Our Border Patrol here is encrypted and all you hear is static and noise.

you should get a video of the fire tone out

Wow! The BCD396 series is the mother of all the Uniden handheld scanners! I currently use a Bearcat 210XLT from the mid-1980's.

Uniden, that was your last pylon.

the 396T is a good scanner, but if you want better P25 decoding quality, get the 396XT. also analog quality sucks on the "T" .... trust me i own one. unfortunatly, the XT is more money

[MrAndrewhasty21]

Hey I got one just like this.

[MrAndrewhasty21]

Hey I got one just like it.

[tracym427]

Yep, picks up analog too..

[BubbyandKierra]

Does this scanner pick up analog, too? Sorry if it's a stupid question.  Just wondering.

[BubbyandKierra]

@SoulSyde I just said that same thing a month ago to my girlfriend. I asked her if she just heard that? What? SSN number right on the scanner. Crazy. But I live in Missouri and here you can use your ssn number as your driver number.
