bcd396t

Hi All, Does anyone know how the Tone-Out Search works, I am able to set the function to standby however, it will not search. I am not sure if this scanner has the ability to search tones on a designated frequency?? I am using this feature on search with a 996T and 996XT. Any help would be...

Hi All, After my firmware and software updates on my BCD396T I'm getting a lot of scanning in areas that I do not want. I'll set up one basic conventional system and in between it scans the Bandscope, all Custom freqs, Ham, CB, etc... Is there a full system reset I can do to just start...

I'm using a BCD396T with the latest firmware. In order to connect with the RR database, I recently had to update my ARC 396 basic software to version 3.1.001 basic. Immediately after the upgrade, the software failed to detect the scanner. I am using a Uniden USB Cable to connect the scanner...

Hi All, I did the firmware upgrade last night on my BCD396T and now no matter what I do the ARC396 program does not see it. I remove everything else that plugs in a com port, do directly to a Serial port instead of the USB adapter and nothing. Where do I start? Mike Rapp KA2FBL...

Hi everyone. I'm David, and I'm trying to get my BCD396T Scanner to work right. I'm in Pocatello, so all I can get is the 700 MHz trunked stuff (public safety). Everything is working fine, except with EVERY message I hear, it cuts out every 4 seconds, and scans through all the other channels...

Hello, I'm new to the whole technical site of scanning. I was wondering if we can do anything here in windsor to pick up the PD. and I would like help programming the frequencies for Essex OPP, Windsor and essex fire, and ambulance. I cant seem to figure it out. (i know i'm a noob). I have a...

Someone at a local ham radio store that the Unided BCD396T can do GPS location-based scanning. He said it requires aftermarket software and cable, and it can be done. I cannot find this on the web. Has anyone heard of this or know how to do it? If so, could you provide links, please. Thanks.

Hi all, After reading through 7 pages of threads, I didn't have much joy finding anything similar - so here goes. I found a serial to USB cable that matches the 396T perfectly, identical to the USB-1 from Uniden. Upon installing the PL-2303 driver and plugging in/turning on the scanner, it...

I'm not sure if this indicates a problem or not, but when monitoring the Burbank ICIS system with my BCD396T, the LNK indicator stays on for three seconds after the transmission has ended. The sequence during a transmission is: LNK (1 sec), P25 (rest of transmission), LNK (3 seconds after...

Hi everyone, I'm new to scanning and i'm having a problem programming my BCT396T in Hopewell VA. If there is anyone who could help walk me through it I would be very appreciated. I have tried for about 6 hours and still cant pick up anything. THANK YOU! PS: I had hair before...

I did the firmware upgrade using the ESN updater from Uniden. The first two times it claimed there was an error checking the Flash ROM. The third time I manually cut the USB serial port's speed down to 9600, and this time it went through the laborious multiple progress bars. This time it also...
