Has anyone been successful programming a BCT996XT for the OKWIN OKC and any other sites that need the custom band plan created? The owners manual is worthless, no help at all.

The major obstacle in creating a single table that works on everything, is that OKWIN is using three band plans. One for logical channel numbers (LCN) 0 through 439. A second plan for LCNs 440 through 559.
These two band plans play well together because there are no overlapping LCN's between the plans.
(LCN's 560-719 are unused)
The shuffle plan used on Vinita makes use of LCN's 320 through 559, which overlap the first two band plans. In addition, the frequencies step lower as the LCN goes higher. Spacing/Step size is also different.
Regarding Vinita, can I add another line to the custom table I already have for OKWIN to cover Vinita or will that not work. I think someone once told me you cod and that that particular line had to be inserted in a certain place in order for it to "decode" in the correct order

I've written a couple custom tables based on Walt725's research. The tables work by pulling specific LCN's used on Vinita out of the normal band plans, and re-mapping them to specific frequencies. (Lines 1-3).
Line 4 of the tables below are a sub-set of Walt725's band plan and deal with LCN's 433-436. Make sure polarity is set for negative on this line only.
Lines 5 and 6 are the standard tables used for everything other than Vinita.
All lines must be entered, and entered in the order in which they appear.
Consider these tables experimental until someone can confirm they work.
Before making any changes, write down your existing settings.

It's possible that the second table might work for older Radio Shack models, however frequencies 852.55 and 852.5875 on Vinita may or may not work.
When I wrote that table 3 years ago, my goal was to provide one table that would work statewide without the need to make a special (exception) entry for the Vinita site.
In order for this to work though, you need to enter the table in it's entirety.
Until your post, I never really got any feedback as to whether it worked or not. I would suggest trying it on other sites and report back your findings.
