So I am out running around today and noticed I received no hits while "Service Searching" on the rail freqs on my BCD396XT but I was hearing them fine on another radio. When I dialed in a rail freq the BCD396XT heard it fine.
Later in the day as I had the radio in CloseCall mode I noticed that everything on VHF was coming up 5 KHz. high (153.895 displayed when it should have been 153.890...) and 12.5 KHz. down on UHF.
So now I am thinking that these two issues are likely related. If the radio is off freq, the Service Search will not work properly since it really is scanning a set of preset freqs.
I reset the radio (2,9, hold) and it still does the same thing.
So I then figured I would check the firmware. I have 1.10.02. According to Mr. Google there should be a 1.11.01 version but it seems all the links are down. The links from the RR forum post at http://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-forums/257324-new-396xt-1-11-01-firmware-available.html don't work and the YahooGroup Files section only has an older version.
Now I don't know if the firmware update, if I can actually find it, will help me but...
Question 1) Has anyone else found their 396XT off freq like this?
Question 2) Anyone know where I can find the 11.01.01 or newer firmware?
Thanks!
