800mhz rebanding is finally starting to happen in small pockets across the country.

Uniden has for years promised firmware updates for their scanners to keep up with the changes, but so far hasn’t released anything. This week they announced free firmware upgrades as well as some additional new features for nine of their scanners – even tentative release dates! Check it out.

They’re teasing a September 29th announcement, and internet detectives have already sniffed out three Yahoo Groups created by a Uniden employee for the BC346XT, BCD396XT, and BCD996XT – three new unannounced models.

I wonder what they’ll include! Color OLED displays? ProVoice support? Discriminator taps, perhaps? We’ll find out next month.
