The difference between these scanners

3 posts in this topic



The difference is that the Bcd536hp requires no programing just enter ur zip code and it will scan every thing in the radio references database for your area. The bcd996p2 requires you to program it.

there are several differences between these two scanners first is that the BCD536HP has a built in database, so you can just plug in you zip code to start scanning, or you can program it yourself. The BCD996P2 requires you to program it yourself. Second, the 536hp is a TrunkTracker V scanner, meaning it can scan APCO Project 25 Phase I and Phase II, X2-TDMA, Motorola, EDACS, and LTR Trunked Radio Systems. The 996P2 is only a TrunkTracker IV scanner, so it can't scan X2-TDMA systems. Finally, the 536HP will hopefully have a WiFi feature one day like was promised at launch, and the 996P2 won't. Basically, the BCD536HP was an attempt to combine the home patrol and the BCD996XTwith a WiFi feature, which did not work out well, where as the BCD996P2 is just an update of the BCD996XT to allow for P25 phase 2 system scanning.
