Is there a way I can obtain these upgrade codes for free. $225 seems like it was a bit much. If there is a website that has these codes available for free, let me know.
A previous post asked Looking for feature upgrade codes for my BCD325P2 scanner.
The answer was they were not available and the thread was closed before I could as the question “What feature upgrades codes?” Can anyone elaborate on what the OP was relating?
The poster was looking for free upgrade codes, he didn't want to pay for them. Since they are not offered for free and you do have to pay for them the thread was closed.
Furthermore, the upgrade codes (those to unlock/activate the ProVoice/DMR/NXDN digital modes) are only good on a per scanner/unit basis. Those codes purchased for the unit that you install them in will not work with any other scanner, whether they are the same model type or not. So the bottom line is "you get what you pay for," and there is no other way around it.
