bcd996p2

I have programmed my BCD996P2 using Freescan Software with conventional systems and groups only so far. When I turn on the scanner, it automatically goes into a scan mode of "S0" with some built in groups or systems? Such as FRS, Racing, CB. I cannot seem to turn these off. Am I in some mode...

I'm sure this is a simple issue to resolve but I am SOOOO frustrated. I want to scan only the TGs that I have programmed into the system. No matter what I do, I seem to get any traffic on the system. I am trying to scan a few VHF conventional frequencies and a couple of dozen MPSCS sites and...

I've got 6 BCD996P2 scanners connected to a PC running separate instances of ProScan to control them remotely at a different location. Whenever the PC reboots, the software launches but fails to connect to the scanners. To fix, I have to physically turn off the 996P2s and turn them back on to...

Excited to have my first new scanner in over 25 years. Having trouble programming it and the software is even more confusing. I'm a lawyer and supposedly smart! Would greatly appreciate if someone could help me program this. I'd prefer not to send it off. I'm in Sandy Springs but will be...

I want the ability to use a ham radio primarily as a P25 scanner. Has anyone found a way with a dual band ham radio? I'm not limited to a certain brand. I'm just curious if it's possible. I recently came across this Kenwood TM-D710G and a similar ICOM P25 radio. Would I be able to program...

So I just hooked up my BCD996P2 with a BC-GPSK antenna, but my unit states 'No GPS Input'. I have checked and the system is getting power, ground is good, port set at 4800bps, yet this thing doesn't want to work. Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a Uniden BCD996P2 scanner that I've had for almost a year now. I use it to monitor my county's P25 Phase II Simulcast radio system. Up until the other day it has always worked without issue. Now all the sudden it has stopped picking up any transmissions on the system. It searches...

I have set up three custom searches to use while scanning with my 996P2. It works very well, scanning all of my systems then searching through the three custom searches I've set up, then returning to the systems and doing the whole thing over and over again. UNLESS... I put the scanner in...

I'm using the latest version of FreeScan to record my 996P2 and it's recording and creating a file for everything it stops on. However, it's only creating files with audio for channels I've "Marked" to record. The other files it's creating from hits where I didn't "Mark" record are all blank...

Moved to "Scanner Programming Software" category!

Does the 996P2 have a "Manual" button? (how to view last object scanner stopped on) Hi all - My GREs have a "Manual" button I can press if I wish to return to an object the scanner just recently stopped on but has started to scan again. Pressing the "Manual" button takes you to the...

I am looking into purchasing the BCD996P2 for both a mobile and base scanner. I currently own a BCD325P2, and frequently use it for listening in the car. However, even with an external speaker, I find when I reach speeds of 50 mph+ it is rather difficult to make out what is being said over the...

I receive Manassas and Manassas Park Police on the APCO 25 just fine. However, I don't receive any of the Manassas and Manassas Park FD, which are on a different system, Project 16. This system has been rebanded. Is anyone out there able to hear these channels? How do you have the scanner...

Alright, I'm ANNOYED!! How do I get my Uniden bcd996p2 to scan certain systems or groups? I have downloaded several systems and groups into my scanner and I can see that they are there...but how do I limit what it scans and stay in one system?

76 Everyone. I just bought my dad (for Christmas) a Uniden BCD996P2 to replace a Radio Shack Pro-2028 (which also was a Christmas circa mid 90s). One of the selling features was the 800mhz trunking ability. To program the 996P2, currently using Freescan Accommodating the various RISCON...

Hello All, I am having a very strange issue with Peoria ETSB P25. I am hoping someone could help me as I have been everywhere searching for this problem and haven't found a similar issue. I am new to Digital Scanners, just bought a BCD536HP scanner last week. The problem I am having is...

Curious to know if the new BCD996P2 differs in size from the BCD996XT. I'm assuming that it's keeping the same face size (7.2" wide and 2.2" high), but has the depth changed from 5.9" or so? It might make a difference in my mounting location. Anyone got a ruler handy? I haven't been able to...

Is anyone else having an issue with connecting to a Uniden scanner after upgrading to Windows 10? I have uninstalled/re-installed the USB driver several times and keep getting a message that the port is either in use by another program or unable to find it. Within the software, it also places a...

After much careful research, I took the plunge and invested in a Uniden BCD996P2. Rather impressive bit of hardware, but holy mother of God whoever wrote the manual was a complete sadist. Gave up on manual programming and got set up with Freescan. Got connected via USB (which is hours of hell...
