Product Description
The new Uniden Bearcat BCD996P2 Police Scanner may look like its similarly named predecessor, the 996XT. It offers both APCO 25 Phase I and II digital capability. For those who like GPS scanning, a feature no other manufacturer offers, you can enable and disable Systems and Groups. This depends on your location and requires the optional GPS antenna that we sell. The radio now offers a band-scope feature and a Fire Tone Out search feature. These help you determine the tone out frequencies being used. It also has improved Close Call, APCO-25 NAC code decoding, and more. The 996P2 is a big leap forward with APCO 25 Phase I & II digital.
DMR , Provoice & NXDN for your BCD325P2 and BCD996P2 scanner are now available!Now available for "P2" series scanners is the ability to monitor unencrypted DMR/MotoTRBO and EDACS ProVoice. This option allows monitoring these exciting systems if they are used in your area. ProVoice is used by many public safety systems around the country. DMR/TRBO is used mostly by business users but is also used by many public safety and local government systems.
If your area uses DMR/TRBO or ProVoice then these upgrades will help you increase your monitoring ability.
