Since the 396's only AGC problem is an attack time that's too long by
an order of magnitude or so, it can easily be fixed by a firmware
change.


I would normally agree with your comments, however, Uniden has already had a
few firmware updates, but has been unsuccessful in resolving the AGC issue.
To date, none of the three "digital" scanners made by Uniden can handle AGC
as well as the Radio Shack (GRE) offerings.

Unsuccessful? Or they just haven't tried? 1.09 still has MUCH too
long an attack time. Maybe some day they'll actually have someone
shorten it.
