[Ben]

Yes and my BCD-396XT seems to be worse than my d996xt.

  Reading between the lines here... I'm going to assume that this means
  they're addressing the multipath issue with P25 simulcasts (if so,
  hurray).  The Uniden scanners in my experience are essentially
  unusable if you have any significant multipath signals from multiple
  simulcast P25 trunked system sites.
