[Scan-DC] BCD396XT and BCD996XT: Firmware Update Coming

[Robert H. Eisner]

That's a bit of a bummer!   Does Uniden have any scanners that can decode P25 Phase 2?
I wish GRE would come out with updated versions of their PSR 500 / PSR 600 scanners to support P25 Phase 2.   I have a PSR 800 which is nice scanner, but the lack of frequency search and keypad forces me to carry an additional scanner for sleuthing.

"APCO 25 Phase 2 cannot be supported by existing hardware (even
through firmware updates)."
