Default BC780 puts 996/2096 to shame...

Radios aren't jealous like women . . . it's perfectly OK to have more than
one.

Hell, I still use my Pro-2006 for mil air because it is even better than
the 780 I used to have, as far as sensitivity is concerned.

I can't speak for the relatively new 996, but the Pro-2096 is a fine
scanner. With all the crap they have to cram into one unit these days, I
don't think it's reasonable to expect a perfect all-in-one analogue and
digital solution . . . at an affordable price at least.

....and that bums me out cuz my local PD has gone digital and to upgrade I
have to buy a radio that has inferior performance.

I hope whatever comes out next from GRE/Uniden will be comparable to the
780 with digital reception.

If you look inside a Uniden 996, there is very little inside!
