Thanks very much Jim.  Can you use FreeScan or some other software with it?=
  I just downloaded that the other day after majorly messing up my 346 =E2=
=80=93 and it looked pretty cool =E2=80=93 but at this point it=E2=80=99s n=
ot worth my time for that scanner.. but if the new ones are just as complex=
, I might really benefit from it =E2=80=93 now that I have actually seen it=
 =E2=80=93 and =E2=80=9Calmost=E2=80=9D used it!
Thanks for your thoughts.. I really will just have one or two trunked syste=
ms and some conventional ones.. not a ton of stuff.=20

The BCD396T can handle P-25 systems. I use it to listen to the Montreal=20
Fire Department.
