The Uniden-Bearcat BC396XT Digital Scanner
Features, Operation and Competition
A Scanner Master Ultimate Review
Copyright 2009, Richard Carlson/Scanner Master Corporation
Introduction
The Uniden Bearcat BCD396XT is the follow-up to Uniden’s premier handheld scanner, the BCD396T,
which has been discontinued. The ‘XT has more memories (up to 25,000 channels!) and many new
features while retaining the 396D’s small form factor and price. The BCD396XT directly competes with
the GRE PSR500 and Radio Shack Pro106
The BCD396XT adds such new features as allowing up to 500 talkgroups per trunked system (compared
to 200 for the 396D), NAC decoding, Fire Toneout Search and GPS Support. Some of these features
have never been available on any scanner before.
The BCD396XT uses Uniden’s Dynamic Memory Architecture (DMA) instead of fixed Banks and
Channels. This method of programming was introduced a few years back with the BC246T and is also
used on such scanners as the BCD396T and BCD996T. While it has a similar effect as the GRE
“Memory Object” system, the Uniden method is somewhat easier to fathom and program for many
people. DMA allows you to program as many Channels, Systems and Groups as you can until the
memory runs out instead of locking you into a fixed amount of banks and channels.
The radio resembles the BCD396T but has a silver faceplate. Otherwise the general layout is identical,
with a single multi-function control knob on the top, 16 button keypad on the front and 2 side buttons on
the left side. The right side has the same computer interface jack and power jack, the earphone jack is on
the top between the multi-function knob and the antenna.
Also in the box is the BNC-SMA adaptor that was introduced with the BC330 and 396 scanners, the
same belt holder, antenna, serial programming cable and wrist strap as the older radios. The owner’s
manual for the radio is contained on a CD-ROM, in PDF format. There is no printed manual.
Features & Functions
System, Group & Channel Memory Architecture
The BCD396XT allows you to program up to 25,000 channels. (Remember the days when 20 channels
were plenty?) While few would ever need this many available channels, it leaves a nice cushion to allow
you to program in all your local and travel scanner frequencies and still have plenty of room left over to
explore new channels. The actual total channel capacity is based on total memory usage, so the amount
of alpha tags and other items you have programmed will affect the total number of channels you have
available.
Average users will likely never fill up the radio but you can have many systems kept in the radio for
future use without worry that you will run out of memory space. You can see what percentage of
available memory you have by using the menu system. Go to the Settings menu and select “%Memory
Used” to see how much memory the radio has in a percentage basis. If you are running low you can
delete unused Systems.
With the DMA style programming you do not waste memory on unused channels since bank sizes are not
fixed. Instead, Systems only use the amount of memory needed, space is not wasted on unused channels.
On older scanners if you had a bank reserved for railroads in your area and they only used 10 channels
the rest of the 40 or 90 channels would have been unused and the memory space wasted.
The BCD396XT uses two side buttons, labeled as “Function” and Menu”. The Menu button starts
various programming tasks, and will bring you to the various menus pretty much no matter what the
radio is doing. When in the Menus the Menu button acts as a Back button.
The Function button acts as a modifier, the Function icon appears for about 3 seconds after you press it
and during that time it allows you to perform various tasks, such as turn on and off options like CloseCall
or toggle between modes, such as Scan or Search.
