bc996d www.usascan.com/files/bcd996t.cfmbct15 www.usascan.com/files/BCT15.cfmThe difference is the 996 is APCO-25 Digital. You can listen to digital stuff such as a few of the police bands that are not encrypted. I have the 996 because if you read th writing on the wall alot of things are going digital and the bct15 has no way of upgrading. Spend now or spend later. |

Anytime I see this question, I usually return w/ a bunch of questions.........
How much you looking to spend?
Do you need to listen to Digital (not much on Suffolk is digital .. no digital on Nassau (as of yet))
"Does size matter"?...........
I hate to spend your money for you....but the BCT-15 may be your best bet.
There is a bit of a learning curve w/ that radio.........but its worth it....
If your ok w/ spending $215 for the BCT-15, then go for it.........
Save your money, unless you really really really need digital.
BUT>......... Hold off for a few weeks if you can.
GRE is releasing their radios soon.... That is yet another option.
