I presently have an old BC245XLT and was looking for upgrade. I certainly don't want to loose any freq coverage but would find it interesting to browse the upper 1240+ band. The BC246T looks interesting for a portable unit. Anyone have input on this or another model would be great. Needs capability of picking up trunking for Seattle, Kent areas. |

How is the audio volume on the Pro-97 and 246? I have a 396T and it's the best speaker volume on any portable scanner I've ever had. Especially when compared to my old 235T. |

I have a bcd396t also. Not the most powerful radio for audio volume,but it has a nice size and lots of bells an whistles on it to keep you busy for a few years. And if your interested in listening to McChord or Bremerton base ops a P25 digital scanner is a must. xjf79 |

Sorry too far north to copy Bremerton or McChord base ops But I do travel to washington state afew times a year so having the 396 is a plus in hearing those systems while down there. as for P25 systems here I can copy Crest P25 digital on the south coast of Vancouver Island from my location and afew other (clear) P25 systems that I wil not mention that operate in washington state and bc. |

I bought the 246 a few weeks ago. The audio seems adequate to me, and I listen to it from across the living room, in the garage, etc. I think it's fine. I live in a bit of an RF "hole" for the Snohomish trunked system, so even my desktop scanner with an external discone gets reception that, while fine, is not as clean as I would like. The 246 with the stock antenna has reception that is pretty decent, so for me, it receives well. It was a good choice. |
