    Bad BCD396XT or bad user?

    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...

    Accessing Systems w/o a quick key - BCD396XT

    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...
