I have 7 both t and XD models and I love the 396 is a great little radio so I'm interested in joining this group to see what people are listening to and to help the group out I think it's the best radio unit I ever put out I have 30 uniden radios  of them

To the administrator of this group I guess it's working now for some reason it wasn't letting me subscribe but I'm now able to get my messages through so have a good morning

The 396 is a cool radio; I have two myself.

But if you are in an area with multicast systems, the SDS 100 far outperforms it.

You would REALLY like the SDS 200 if you ever get the Pleasure ! 😎👍 John. n9zas

Care to provide a quick comparison of the two radios.
And perhaps signing your messages please.

I remember how it was suggested to me to go with the SDS 100, and it’s actually turned out to be my favorite!

For the time being, my 396xt has served me well over the years. In the SanFrancisco Bay Area, however, the local police and fire systems have been upgraded to phase II. I still am picking up RX on my phase I, so it isn't time to run out and buy a new scanner yet. I've been looking at the 325 since the price came down a little. What scares me is not knowing if or when more encryption will show up. I have a small  seven-element 700 MHz yagi for when too much signal mixing happens I can aim for the best. Most of the time the stock antenna is fine. When I'm out and about I use a 2 " stubby to cut down physical stress  on the antenna jack, which I had to solder back  to the main board a while back. The stubby works fine since the local sigals are pretty strong.

Assume within the next year or two almost all law enforcement will be encrypted.

On the system I run, our PD is essentially being told by DOJ that they must plan for encryption.

Yep, California DOJ requirement is any PII (anything to be used to
identify a person - name, etc) needs to be only over an encrypted
channel. So far a few agencies have pushed the date back, but within
the next few months, they won't have a choice.So the choice is either
encrypt everything, or only give ID'ing info on an encrypted channel.
So easiest solution is encrypt everything.

What is nationwide?

The progression of law enforcement communications to encryption?

Yes a lot are across the nation.  

Mandates by USDOJ for all law enforcement nationwide to encrypt?

The only state I’m aware so far is just crazy California by their own California DOJ. With limited ways around it.

A lot of misinformation by that office to California law enforcement agencies. But hey either they have idiots working for CDOJ that can’t read or they are more than likely are doing it to force their agenda. 

But let’s face it wants to have to switch channels every time you need to share personal identification information? So let’s just throw it on the taxpayers to pay for it😠

There is NO federal mandate to encrypt. That is purely FUD bring spread via this forum.

Pennsylvania has encrypted. Also, some municipalities in the Commonwealth have done so.

PA State police have been encrypted for about 20 years.

Some PA municipalities have encrypted, but using them to say everyone is doing the same is no more accurate than using the few who have recently turned off encryption to say that everyone is turning it off.

Reality is that will will and some will not. Those areas that have major crime problems will probably do it before most others.

Hello and welcome

first may I ask what area are you in ,and your interest in monitoring that will generally get you started with reply's and others with the same interest or in your location or suggestions if you have any questions we have people who have spent a lot of time in this hobby and have a technical back ground or have a law enforcement experience  

    I have 8 radios on my desk at this time.

                      again welcome Robert Q
