BCD325P2/BCD996P2: I need help with a Uniden BCD996P2 !!! Very frustrated.

[dave3825]

Last chance and i'm out.

When in weather scan, do you see the display scrolling freqs in the 162 mhz range? If so, what is the squelch set at? And you do have the antenna hooked up and extended if its a telescoping type?

 

[fxdscon]

Yep.... I'm out.

When I hold the WX button it is now showing a screen saying "WX scan" and FM ATT underneath. The word "SCAN" is floating across the screen in between, no numbers.

I thought the scanner would work upon purchase. ) Now I will most likely need a cord and download things to it which I have never done.

The cable is a standard USB data cable with a male USB A on one end and a male USB mini on the other,

I got it working thanks. Antenna was loose. Special thanks to those who helped, also to those who were very unfriendly. You reminded me on how to not live my life.

hey patrick,
if you enable personal messages, i can send some hints on how to manually program the radio.
or send your parents to this site and i can send it to them.
also ATT on the screen means that attenuation is on and that cuts the signal to about 1/100th of the original.

Is the antenna even connected ? maybe this is the issue ?

 

[dave3825]

I bought a Uniden BCD996P2----but all I get is static or nothing.

One of a few important questions asked at noon.

And you do have the antenna hooked up and extended if its a telescoping type?

9 hours later,

I got it working thanks. Antenna was loose.

Special thanks to those who helped, also to those who were very unfriendly.

Was I helpful or very unfriendly?

dave,
i think most that come here with a question only want the "you just have to hit one button" fix.
keep trying !
and thanks for trying.

Wow, what a thread. HeyPatrick has deleted his account. Sometimes storms blow through quickly on these forums.
