They're not on special anymore Kev. I tried to buy another one today at the $348 price and the Hurstville store computer has them back to $498 - even though they are not supported anymore and don't appear in the latest catalogue.

Interestingly/laughably, they had both the 396 and 996 at a "clearance" price of $997 each. :lol: :lol:

Anyone know if theres any freeware avail for the DTS96? Also, is the DTS96 capable of monitoring P25 trunking? Can't seem to get it to follow the correct voice channel...
