Nevermind, I think I found the problem.

I try my best. In all honesty, I am very excited to see upgrades for additional scanners than were not original announced. It shows that Uniden is still doing development for their devices. A decent amount of x36 owners, including myself, have felt that they were not doing very much. This shows that we really don't know what they may have up their sleeves. I am actually somewhat excited to see what my come in the future now.
He just said you don't enter the hyphen....
Will ARC-XT be able to be used to program the DMR portion? That is the pivotal point for me ordering the DMR upgrade or not.
(upgrade install) worked on my end. Bought 2 DMR keys for two (2) BCD996P2 scanners. Both scanners have no digital receive (signal & RX audio).
Installed DMR key on 1 year-old scanner, accepted it. I data enter a VHF simplex freq via scanner front keypad and try "digital - Search" to see if it captures the color code and nothing. I change it to "digital - color code 1" and nothing. I put the DMR key into my 30 day old BCD996P2 and it does the same. I'm talking on a VHF portable in DMR mode, color code 1 and the scanner does nothing. Only twice while I was talking did the signal meter show full scale signal and audio came out of the speaker.
I just tried more talking on my portable and neither scanner show's it receiving the DMR signal. I tried another radio freq on my portable, programmed it into both scanner as a 2nd DMR test, and still nothing. I can talk DMR portable radio to portable radio just fine, but scnr is now showing any signal meter & not receiving.?. freq is correct. Do I need to align the DMR digital settings in my scanner?
thoughts ?
One local DMR (MotoTRBO) system that is used locally for one of the air ambulance providers here does sound better on the 325P2.I have to agree with some on here that say the DMR audio on the 996P2 sounds much clearer and crisp as compared to the 536. Upgrade went without a problem and I think I just found my dedicated DMR scanner. Now I can put the 536 to use as a dedicated Phase 1 and 2 scanner.
Uniden, thank you very much for this upgrade. I couldn't be a happier customer.
I have never, ever, heard of a ProVoice conventional channel.
