Since this unit is VERY difficult to program--and-- since the 996XT does NOT come with a printed or printable manual, I have to rate the 996XT a 2.
IF Uniden would provide a printed manual or a .pdf printable manual, I would rate this unit with 5 stars. I had the fortune of having my 996xt pre-programmed when I purchased it and if it were not for that, the 996XT would be a paperweight. With the pre-programming, I think it is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade from my original BCD396. If you get the 996xt--I highly recommend pre-programming and some software to use it (I use the Arc software).
SEVERE Downgrade and SIGNIFICANT confusion on why Uniden still uses a Serial port (for GPS) and made the GLARING and unforgivable mistake of not providing a printed or printable manual for the 996XT.
If Uniden can turn the manual mistake around, my rating would be significantly higher. My personal opinion is that anyone who has the unit or is thinking of purchasing it, that they write/call Uniden and tell them to fix this SIGNIFICANT oversight of no printed manual. Without a manual, the unit is USELESS.
