Today Uniden is announcing two new scanner models: The BCD996XT and BCT15X base / mobile scanners bring the latest improvements to Uniden's core scanner platform to the mobile scanner audience.
Complete details about these scanners will soon be available covered in our main Scanner Manuals site, but here are some of the features added to the new models:

Enhanced GPS compatibility -- controls the scanning of groups of channels within systems.
More channels per system -- up to 500 channels per trunked system.
Channel Number Tagging -- lets you quickly select a channel for monitoring.
