The Bearcat BCD396T 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.
The Bearcat BCD396T also offers Close CallT RF Capture Technology, Dynamic
Memory Management, Fire Tone-Out as well as 5,500 channels. Frequency
coverage is expected to be: 25-512, 764-776, 794-956, 1240-1300 MHz
(excluding cellular) in AM/FM/NFM/WFM modes. Search Steps will likely be: 5,
6.25, 7.5, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 kHz.
The BCD396T will meet the demands of both professionals, such as law
enforcement officials, and scanner enthusiasts. This radio has eliminated
the proprietary battery pack and removed the need for an add-in board for
APCO 25, reduced the size of the model, and added a backlit keypad.
