You might want to look at a BCD436HP. That comes after the HP1 and the 396x=
lt. The 436 HP is digital and can program by zip code. The price is close t=
o the 396, but for a better scanner. Lookit:

Man4/BCD436HP
=C2=A0
=C2=A0

I've had to replace the speaker on my 396xlt after 4 months. Never had that=
 problem with any other scanner and that includes my old R/S Pro 23.

own 245xlt, 246t, 396xlt.
