bcd996p2

Good evening. I have a Uniden BCD996P2 and I’m trying to understand whether there’s a good general antenna upgrade for this scanner. I’m not looking for a band‑specific antenna — just something that performs better than the stock antenna for overall monitoring across VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz...

I am BRAND NEW to the scanner community, other than casual listening online. I purchased the Uniden BCD996P2 and live in New Haven County. I purchased a premium subscription in order to be able to automatically program my scanner, but I am not sure where to start. 1) Is there a step-by-step...

I have a 996P2 and have started loading in UIDs with their alias (as TGID Text) to the scanner using ProScan for several P25 1-Freq Trunk channels and noticed that although the UID Alias text displays on the scanner itself, it is no longer logged into the UID logging / recorder. It's almost...

Hi, quick question. I just bought a BCD996T on ebay, and when I turn it on, the welcome screen says BCD996p2. Is this something that the previous owner may have programmed it to say during startup? The nameplate says BCD996T. Thank you in advance!

I have access to Freescan, ARC XTPro, and Proscan software. I am completely new to programming a scanner much less this new APCO system. We had a previous gentleman that has moved that programmed our scanners for us. I am willing to pay someone to send me the program in any of the programs I...

Hey everyone New to the scanner world. I'm stuck in a situation on antennas I'm using the stock one that comes with the BCD996P2 and it is not so mobile-friendly and is very static while moving. It's ok when idle. I'm currently in the Bay Area CA using 800 MHz Simulcast , 150 MHZ for fire/ ems...

Hi. I was wondering if this might work on my BCD996P2 for a GPS with a null modem cable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005863371760.html It seems to be compliant with the BCD unit. I'd have to supply the power of course via USB. Consider me optimistic, as I've already ordered it. I know...

I recently bought a new desk for my radio room to replace the previous countertop & drawers. When I was searching for the new desk, I had some requirements in mind... I needed it to be sit/stand, L shaped or wraparound, and be humongous enough to fit my monitors, radios, both PCs and...

Before you say anything; yes, I know they both are not made for simulcast but let me tell you. I recently bought the 325 and tried it out and I didn't have the best time on simulcast in my area but it worked! I atleast heard 70-75% of the conversation, until I traveled a bit with it and it...

Hi, I am very new to the scanning world and know very little to start. I'll probably be posting a lot on here soon but I'm starting with reading through the manual on this scanner. I got this scanner out of a tow truck and I'm trying to factory reset it so I can start fresh but when I try the...

Hello, I am soon getting my BCD996P2 scanner and I plan to build a Yagi antenna for 800 mhz to listen to local police, fire, etc. and point it towards one tower. On the RR database, it has all the frequencies for the towers for my county, do I need to program them all in or just the ones...

Hey Folks, My BCD996P2 display has always been set to "Cyan". After a couple of years I decided to change the color and noticed that White is now like Yellow, Green is now like Cyan, Blue is so dark that it's almost unreadable. Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a simple fix or...
