else tell me what a splinter system is? I mean what does it do
different then standard what are the benifits? I know on radioref site
it says due to our close proximity to Mexico they use the splinter system

Border states are the main reason for using splinters.  The only real
difference in this scanner is for CC only settings.  Splinter systems
use plan 3 or 4 while non-splinter use 1 and 2.

If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
