I have just received my BCD396T scanner and accompanying ARC 396 pro software and am begining the learning curve on this fantastic piece of equipment. However,I do have two questions that I have seen addressed here in thes forums in the past but for the life of me cannot find their respective threads. So here goes;
1) The current and latest firmware up grade on Unidens web site is version 1.11.03
yet when checking my receivers firmware it is reported as version 1.11.04.
Is this the latest firmware that my radio is already programmed with or do I need to install the upgrade from the Uniden site?
2) I live in the Baltimore metropolitan area and one of the services I wish to monitor is Baltimore city's fire and police departments which are APCO 25. However I believe they are also mixed analog and digital. How do I set up my receiver to receive these services?
Like I said, I know these issues were discussed in these forums in the past but I can't find them again.
I have just yesterday dashed off my money order for a premium subscription to Radio Reference so that I may take advantage of downloading frequencies to the ARC 396 Pro software. So in the interim I will be perusing the owners manual to the receiver and software but I would like to have these two issues resolved before I begin programming.
Thanks for your input and advice and as always, any and all responses are greatly appreciated.
