    996T/996XT/15XT front connector name

    Howdy, Does anyone know what the name (model/part#/anything) of the front programming port on the 996T/996XT/15XT is called? I would like to get a 90degree adaptor to help control the cable to the computer. 996P2 (top scanner) has a nice USB standard connector and was easy to find.

    What does the antenna of this unit look like? Can I connect an RG-6/59 coax to it or will I need a special adapter? I don't even know if it is an BNC male or female port or if a coax can connect to it.

    BCD396XT/BCD996XT: 996XT Woes

    First the problem. All audio, including analog audio is chopped. I get 6 out of 7 words. Because by trade, I am a network administrator I will put it in computer geek terms. It is like listening to audio with regular packet loss. Here are a list of things I have tried: * Tweaking the P25...

    Multiple scanner profiles?

    Hi all, I now own a BCD996xt and a 396xt, both of which I program with Freescan. I use more or less the same codeplug in both radios (with subtle changes), but I would like to set general options for the radio slightly differently. I cannot seem to find any way to set up profiles on a per-radio...

    Hi all, I would like to remove the factory stereo from my 2004 Tacoma pickup and install a standard DIN sized stereo and my Bearcat BCD996xt scanner.

    Digital Audio and Discriminator tap

    It's been a long time since I've done any real upgrading to new technology for scanners, so I am certain my questions will seem like they just stepped off the good ship S.S. DUH. But here goes: 1) About a year ago I bought a HomePatrol scanner, based on the ease of programming it supposedly...

    I'm loading information into freescan in anticipation of my 996xt arriving later this week. In doing so, I'm loading the gps information into it and it is selected as enabled. I'm not planning to get a gps soon. If I were to leave the gps enabled, and the 996xt doesn't have the gps connected...
