Strong Signals - BC780XLT Owner Survey

Welcome to the only online survey which will help potential buyers with their decision process regarding the BC780XLT as well as giving all of us an idea of how well Uniden's latest TrunkTracker is faring!
In order for this survey to remain honest, I have made it neccesary for you to provide a valid e-mail addrress. Here's how it will work. Once you fill out the survey, submitting it will store your results in a temporary file and an e-mail will be sent to the address you specified in the survey. This e-mail will contain a link to a program used to finish the submission process. Simply point your web browser to this link which will take your survey data stored in the temporary file mentioned above and place it in the final survey data file.
With regard to the question concerning your geographic location, answer as specifically or generically as you feel comfortable. At the very least I'd like to see you specify the state/province in which you live. It is up to you if you wish to provide more specifics like county and/or town/city.
One question does ask you to specify the price you paid for your BC780XLT. This input will NOT be posted but simply used to calculate an average buying price for all to make use of.
One question does ask you to specify the serial number of your unit. This will help to keep non-BC780XLT owners from falsely filling out a survey as well as helping to track firmware changes should the need arise. And the serial number you specify will have the last few digits masked before posting to protect your identity.
When filling out the survey, not that the data is laid out in three columns. The first column contains the question while the second contains the answer. The third column, if present, is usually used to provide assistance on how to fill out the second column. In some cases, the third column will be used to indicate a second part to the answer in the second column.
If you think that you don't have the knowledge or experience necessary to answer one or more questions, play with your radio some more with these specific areas in mind. Then come back to take the survey in full!
Remember to CAREFULLY check all your answers before submitting! I will not correct entries for you after submission and you can only take the survey once!
You can vote once and only once so make it count! It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to print out this page and then spend some more time with your new radio. Write down your various answers and make sure you have answers for all the quesions. Then, when you're ready, come back and fill it in for submission!

Thanks for your efforts and happiest of TrunkTracking!
