Thank you buddrousa! I have seen your posts in numerous threads here. You always have good insight on the topics I have seen. I am so glad I have found RR. There are so many things I have learned here they are too numerous to mention. I will be looking into the Proscan software soon. Thanks again.

I downloaded ProScan after updating my 996P2 for DMR. It read the radio just fine, but would not write any of my changes - or any existing systems - back to the scanner. I did try the option for wiping the scanner's memory prior to upload and no joy. I ended up restoring the scanner using FreeScan.

Any suggestions would be appreciated since I liked using ProScan.

Hello folks. I have a BCD996P2 and I am unsure what programming software to buy. I currently use ARC-96 for my RS Pro96 and I use the Whistler software for my WS1080. I like both software packages. Would I be better off with ARC-XT or would ProScan be a better choice? I did use the ARC-XT trial to attempt to program a BCD396XT for a friend and I didn't like it, but never had used the scanner before and didn't have much time to learn it. Also, is the 996 easier to use than the 396? Thanks.

Soon I will be buying a 996p2 and will most likely be getting the upgrade for DMR. Since I've used Freescan for my BCT15X, I cannot use it for my DMR programming on the p2. I will be interested in using Proscan software in the future. Where is the best place to download it and can I get it prior to my scanner purchase to make up the programming in advance and familiarize myself with its operation and programming "style" ? I hope this is posted in the right thread......

i have the 996p2 and really do not use it or need it anymore. i like my pro197 but it is only p1 not p1, however we have not much in the way of p2 where i am. i would be willing to sell my very unused 996p2. i may put it on the site here soon. i like the color display, but the red is too red and u cant really read the text. lighter red would be a great mod or update to this scanner.
