    OPP Zone 2 on a BCD 396T

    I have tried programming my 396T using ARC396PRO with my RR subscription to program the scanner, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to hear OPP on SCAN mode. It works on SEARCH. I can hear the MOH talkgroups no problem on SCAN mode, it just doesn't ever stop on OPP talkgroups. Must...

    396XT replaced by 396T issues

    Yeah, I know, I moved backwards. The 396XT worked without issues until it disappeared. Bought a 396T, thinking it would be a breeze to program with the control channels=WRONG. No dice. No audio. I can only assume it's because the 396T was 'born' before the XT? Can the 396T do 700MHz and do I...

    firmware for 396t

    I believe it was Upman who recently wrote a step by step article on how to upgrade your firmware. I'm trying to locate that article. I've searched the forums and the wiki with no luck. I'm at Ver 1.13.17, and wish to go to Ver 3.xx. Do I need any updates that are in between? Thanks, Al
