Thanks Bill. I will be very appreciative of what you can tell me.

Not at this time. Although I have owned several BC895-XLT's in the past.
So far, I've just monitored local VHF/UHF public safety. This weekend,
I'll
check out the amateur radio bands, commercial, and military aircraft, etc.
I live within listening distance of Selfridge Air Base, in SE Michigan, so
it will be a good test.

Do you have a 895 to compare it with? I am interested in either an 895
or
898 for airband monitoring.

Any body compared them yet?

I received my new Uniden BC898-T scanner today, from Universal Radio.
It
is
very similar to the BC895-XLT, as many have said. However, there are
definitely enough changes, and/or improvements, to serious consider
this
scanner. Although it is lacking the ability to receive digital, other
than
that, I'd say it's one of the best!

Should us 780 owners begin trading in our radios for the 898?
