  • and more!

WOW! Just look at all these features & functions:

  • 3000 Channels Typical/6000 Maximum
  • DMA Memory (Dynamically Allocated Channel) - Your scanner’s memory is organized so that it more closely matches how radio systems actually work, making it easier to program and use your scanner and determine how much memory you have used and how much you have left.
  • Trunk Tracker IV Technology - follows unencrypted conversations on analog Motorola, Motorola Astro 25 (APCO 25), EDACS, EDACS SCAT, and LTR trunked
    radio systems, including systems in VHF, UHF, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and 900 MHz bands. The scanner can scan both conventional and trunked systems at the
    same time.
  • Control Channel Only Scanning – If the scanner is set to scan Motorola trunking frequencies, you can set it so it scans using only control channel data. You do
    not have to program voice channel frequencies into memory in this mode as long as all possible control channels are programmed.
  • Preprogrammed Coverage - preprogrammed with over 400 channels covering police, fire, and ambulance operations in the 25 most populated counties in the US, plus the most popular digital systems. 
  • Analog and Digital Audio AGC – Helps automatically balance the volume level between different radio systems.
  • Close Call™ RF Capture Technology - allows you to find unknown frequencies by instantly detecting and tuning to signals from nearby transmitters.
  • 100 Quick Key System Access - You can set the scanner so you can quickly select systems and groups by using the keypad. This makes it easy to listen to or quickly lock out those systems or groups you don’t want to scan.
  • Alpha Tagging - allows you to name each system, group, channel, talk group ID, custom search range, and SAME group, using up to 16 characters per name.
  • S.A.M.E. Weather Alert (Specific Area Message Encoding) - lets your scanner alert you when a SAME weather alert is transmitted on a NOAA weather channel. The scanner also displays the transmitted alert type. This helps you quickly find out about severe weather in your area and lets you avoid false alarms.
  • 10 Custom Search Ranges - Lets you program up to 10 custom search ranges. You can search any of these ranges simultaneously.
  • 12 Preprogrammed Service Searches - frequencies are preset in separate Public Safety, News, HAM Radio, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio, FRS/GMRS, Racing, TV Broadcast, FM Broadcast, and Special searches, to make it easy to search and scan for specific transmissions.
  • DCS/CTCSS Rapid Decode - instantly detects and displays the sub-audible tone so you can prevent interference from stations not using the mode you
    select.
  • Repeater Reverse – you can set the scanner so it switches to the input frequency on a conventional repeater system.
  • Channel Alert - alerts you when channels you specify become active.
  • Display & Keypad Backlight - makes the display and keypad easy to see in dim light. You can adjust the back light so it turns on when you press a key, when squelch breaks during a transmission, or manually.
  • PC Control - includes a PC cable so you can transfer data to and from your scanner and your PC.
  • 3 "AA" Battery Operation - alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
  • Fire Tone-Out - allows you set the scanner to alert you if a two-tone sequential page is transmitted. You can set up to 10 settings (transmit frequency, tone
    frequencies) then select one for standby monitoring.
  • Duplicate Frequency Alert – alerts you if you try to enter a duplicate name or frequency already stored in a system.
  • Frequency Band Coverage - includes the most interesting "action" bands where you can hear police, ambulance, fire, amateur radio, public utilities, weather, and more. The BCD996T scanner can pick up frequencies in the following bands:

    • 25-26 MHz - Petroleum/Broadcast Band
    • 26-28 MHz - CB Radio Band
    • 28-30 MHz - 10 Meter Amateur Band
