bcd396xt

I'm picking up this programming pretty well(My 1st digital scanner). I'm scanning a trunked system (CREST Victoria BC CANADA) and the analog is just fine. But of course the P25 is being a bear. When there's a P25 hit the display shows the ID####, as well as the P25/LNK symbals and frequency...

I recently received a bcd396xt scanner. I have set up Birmingham as a Motorola Type II system in and am able to receive those broadcasts. I work in Albertville, and from my research, Gadsden and Etowah are encrypted. Thus I am no longer expecting to hear any of those transmissions when I pass...

1.what programs should i DL to program my scanner? free and paid for (best ones?) 2.and how come i cant find the lcal police the RNC on radioref? the freq's for the local RNC anr nt there. and 3.when i went to the local HQ of the RNC and i turned on the Close call it did not decode the RNC.

I am planning on purchasing the BCD396XT this year but was wondering…when to the manufactures release the new models? The only thing that gives me pause to purchase is the current model not decoding P25 Phase II. I will be monitoring Ohio MARCS.

I've recently bought a 396xt as an upgrade to my old Pro-43 and SC150. I'm still trying to get my head around programming the beast, but am thoroughly enjoying it. Freescan greatly simplifies they process... I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their Freescan file for the Omaha...

I finally made the jump from an old Uniden SC150 and RS Pro-43 to a BCD396XT. It's a pretty amazing jump... So I've programmed a number of systems and groups with quick keys, but I also added a bunch that I didn't assign a quick key to. I haven't quite figured out what my organization strategy...

I downloaded tables for Collin County Motorola Smartnet directly from Radio Reference to a BCD396XT using Freescan software. But, apparently I need to do something more. I don't receive any transmissions at all. I read somewhere about a 'custom trunking table' that might help. How do I locate...

I am brand new to DMA scanning, and have spent hours reading forums and wikis to no avail. I'd be much obliged for help. I am trying to program my 396XT in Jeffersonville, IN, to listen to local transmissions. I set up a site with control and alternate channel frequencies from Floyds Knobs...

I'm still trying to sort this Uniden BCD396XT out, been using scanners since the crystal days in the 70s but these new ones are intense. I've read the manual and the clarified ops info here and it's still a mess for me. Right now I just need a couple tips on a few ops. 1. I scan San Bernardino...

I'm considering one of the above scanners, and I'd like to hear from someone who has BOTH models. I have a BCD396XT, and when I listen with headphones, each time a channel becomes active, the audio comes on with a pop; it's really irritating to the point where I can't listen for long. Can...

Anyone in SD update their BCD396XT firmware to 1.10 or their BCD996XT firmware to 1.06 yet? These updates came out in late February and are supposed to make improvements to P25 auto decode, and add the ability to change the auto decode threshold. Looking at the forums, some are reporting...

Just got a 396XT and I'm trying to make sure I program it properly for Pinellas County. I downloaded the Pinellas files from RF and uploaded them into the scanner using ARC-XT Pro, but I looked at some frequency information in the local com group on google and they have frequencies listed that I...

Question: When uploading a MPSCS system Freescan & RR defaults to Mot Type ll / P25. My unit has always be set to P25 Standard (Digital XT) for MPSCS and has always worked just fine. The saying if it isn’t broke don’t fix it may apply but which system type would be correct? The Indiana SAFE-T...

It took me a long time to find out how to reset my BCD396XT scanner to it's original factory state. I found a thread for another Uniden scanner and tried what it said he does for his scanner and it worked. So I thought I would post it here under the proper name It takes four hands to complete...

I am sure this is an easy fix, but NOT for me. LOL My scanner use to work perfectly until yesterday. I use to be able to hear the complete call out of fire or police no matter how long it would take, but now, after about ten seconds, it drops that channel and starts scanning again. It happens on...

Hopefully someone can help a newbie here.... I am trying to decode an EDACS Standard digital system in my local area. I am running Unitrunker connected to a BCD396XT through the serial port with a Uniden USB cable. I have the BAUD rate set to 115200 on both ends. Scanner has EDACS system...

First post here, I have used this forum in the past. This Christmas I got a very nice BCD 396XT by Uniden. I have always listened to my PRO-94 scanner in the past. I live on the NorthShore of Massachusetts and do not know if its worth keeping for my area. The one place I would have enjoyed...
