bcd396xt

I don't like the way you have to access the NWS weather channel via menus. So I just programmed in all NWS channels into a group and gave it its own quick key. So now, whenever I simply press 0 on the keypad, the weather broadcast comes on.

okay I was using my scanner the other day and when I tried to change volume it won't change. The selection part works though any help welcome. will provide more info if needed the best I can.

I have no sound out and brand new to all of this. Manually programmed local frequencies. Scans but no sound. Beeps when doing certain things but never stops and makes noise on a scanned channel. Loaded Freescan, download all in it then uploaded. Still no sound. Broadcastify shows activity. Were...

So I have bought my subscription and purchased my Uniden 396XT and programmed it with all my local stuff but I haven't found an import for the NAS JRB the av side. I live in the flight path and a super av geek. What would be the best way to create a system for the below information. Does anyone...

Not sure why but after 3 years of use, my BCD396XT stopped working. What happened was the scanner was on for about 45 minutes (with fresh Everloop batteries), standing up on my desk. I went to reach for it to unlock a channel but got distracted. It was in my left hand for about 2 minutes when...

This is for prospective owners.. ok I get that. I actually ordered, but it hasn't shipped yet (but any minute now unless I change it!) I live in Winnebago County, Illinois. Police are using the Starcomm 25 / P25 digital system? am I saying that right? I'm a photographer that will be shooting...

I have a new BCD396XT (a few weeks old) which during the first use cycle, seemed to receive 8-10 hours then of course "low battery" alert worked. Then, the past few days, I noticed all my P25 banks were scanning but no reception. When I checked the control channels, all I would see on the...

I have a Home Patrol 1 and just purchased a BCD396XT! However, when I run them side-by-side, the HP1 seems to engage P25 talk much faster than the 396XT! I combed the forums and read about changing the P25 delay from default of 400 to 0, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. In...

Hello all, first post here, let me start off by saying thank you for having a reference point like this for rookies like me, this is my first digital trunking scanner (bcd396xt) and ive been pouring through posts online, as well as manuals to try and grasp all this information. To my question...

Would anyone know how to program a BCD396XT on a chromebook?

Is the BCD396XT programmable from a Mac or PC via USB cable like my BCD396T?

Hi, I'm afraid to post in here because if I post in the noob forum, they'll tell me to post in my local forum, but this is a basic question. I've looked for days and days for the basic information but it will take me forever. I'm sorry if this has been answered but I'm just frustrated and have...

I'm completely new to scanners but do understand the basics. Portability is my number one goal so narrowing down to the three units above. My drive is mostly within NH and sometimes venture out to Maine & Mass but not often. Looking at the database APCO 25 Phase II is not something I need to...

Hi Folks, I've not been monitoring for a while, so it's been a couple years since I last fired up my BCD396XT. In that time one agency in my area has gone P25 (Washington State Patrol). The 396 decodes their transmissions, but the audio is often distorted and hard to understand. Sounds like...

I need new rechargeable for my 396XT and stopped at a store that sold me 2500mAh batteries (NiMH). I got them home and was ready to install them and the label in the radio said 2300mAh ONLY. Does this mean that the adapter could allow the batteries to overheat/overcharge and damage the radio...

So let me see if i can type this up so it makes sense. i use the database option to preload the stuff i want hear on my BCD396XT. the issue i am having is figuring out how groups work I will explain how iw ant to use this scanner which i believe is possible. with BC780XLT that used banks...

Please Help! I am new to the scanner world. I have purchased a Uniden BCD396XT from Amazon two weeks ago, and I am still learning how to use it. I live in the Rankin County Mississippi Area, and I am trying to program the MSWIN APCO P25 system into my scanner. I'm tring to listen to the...

Power went out during firmware update on BCD396XT and now the scanner will not turn on. Tried holding down the buttons when powering on and it did not do anything. Please help. Thanks

Monitoring Scottsdale agencies on the Regional Wireless Cooperative (RWC), I seem to receive only north Scottsdale calls on the Thompson Peak site. Can anyone suggest the best sites to use that will cover all of Scottsdale? BCD396XT, ARC-XT PRO, data download from radioreference.com, discone on...

This is my first post here. I've been reading through the forum and trying to find information that might help apparent reception problems I'm having with my brand new BCD396XT scanner. First off, I'm trying to listen to a P25 system in Linn County, Iowa. I have used FreeScan to program the...
