bcd996xt

I am programming a BCD996XT. In the beginning the radio was Receiving great. Last night I uploaded an updated file and after the upload the scanner stopped working. I mean it acted completly dead. No display, nothing. I unplugged it and let it set overnight until I had more time to play with it...

I am having problems decoding Brick NJ poilice at Freq 453.050, Theiw systems uses 111NAC tone. I do not see a 111NAC on the scanners setings. I can see on the display ENC when they transmitte but just a quick squelch is heard. Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated. Firmware ver is...

I'm thinking about buying the the BCD996XT. I live in San Diego County and most of what I want to scan is in digital format. I looked into the BCT15X because of the price but it won't receive digital. Does Uniden plan on adding the "Bear Tracker" feature to the BCD996XT in the future?

About to go on a trip and will be taking alone my BCD99xt. Anyone know of anything good I cant put into the scanner to listen to while I'm down there? Thanks

I live in Nashua,NH and I have a Uniden BCD99XT. I have several telescope antennas I believe are 800 MHz and 1 mobile 800 MHz Antenna that can plug into the back of the scanner. My problem I'm having is when Nashua tones out I do not hear it. I thought they stopped using the tones so I...

I have two feeds I’m broadcasting. One is a BCD996XT and the other is a BCD996T. Is there a way to setup alpha tags on both of them so my listeners can see who is talking. I noticed there a several threads but I cannot seem to find one that will guide me in the right direction for step by step...

Greetings all. I've been very casually scanning for almost 25 years now and just upgraded from my trusty RS PRO-2006 to a BCD996XT. So far I have I have more or less figured out the programming and am using Proscan which makes it easier. My questions relate to improving reception. I *feel* like...

When my xt stops on a channel, I lose the audio for about one second approx every seven seconds. Sometimes I miss important information. It's kind of like when I turn on Priority and it goes back and checks the Priority channel. But I don't have priority turned on. At least its not showing up on...

One of the trunking systems in my area has a control frequency of 774.73125. The BCD996XT only lets me enter four digits to the right of the decimal point. Is entering 774.7312 or 774.7313 going to work? Is there a different way around this problem?

So my shiny new BCD996XT arrived today, and I can't wait to get going. I've downloaded FreeSCAN and created analog system of my choice for Placer County (SAR, PCSO East & West, Auburn PD). I can't enter it into the scanner right now, however, as I'm waiting on a serial port/USB adapter. What...

Hello, I would like to first introduce myself as a newcomer to scanners, as its taken a while for me to save enough money for a good scanner. I also recently acquired a job at Radio Shack which of course grants me a discount on most items (partly just to get myself a scanner ;-) ). After months...

Hello all, I can't recall if I already posted a question on this or not but I can't find it in "My Threads" so here it goes (possibly again) I want to use the BCD996XT to decode ACARS. While I know the baud rate is usually slow enough for straight sound card via audio out. But I am used to...

Hello all, I am completely new to Trunked Scanning and the BCD996XT. My sig line shows what I was used to before :P Anyway, I have no idea if I am doing this right or wrong so I am going to abuse of your generosity and kindness to help me with setting up my extensive collection of CONVENTIONAL...

Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else I am unable to find it if it has. I just upgraded from a BCD780XLT to a 996XT talk about night and day differences. Anyways I'm useing ProScan to program it and I am downloading the frequencies into Proscan VIA radio reference account, and I have...

I'm using a Uniden BCD996XT. I just wanna warn you I'm not very technical. I have some recordings I did from my local police on Pro Scan and I don't see it on the database. I wanted to download this to my desktop as a wav file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am finally getting comfortable with this monster of a scanner I bought. I have had a few scanners in the past, C.B radio's and so forth. My Uniden is in the house, I have aluminum siding on my house and I know that hurts reception with a indoor antenna big time but it's not stopping this...

I just decided to get back into this hobby. I am 39 yr old man (ugh!). Last time I held a scanner I was 15 years old and things where so much more simple! I purchased a top end Uniden BCD996XT. and paid $460 some dollars for it new, plus an Extra $50 for winzip to unzip the darn zip files...

I just received a used Uniden BCD996XT. It did not come with the USB cable so while I have been waiting for that to arrive I have been plugging in frequencies and TGID's into the freescan program. Does anyone have a working MERA freescan file I could take a look at to cross reference my work...

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...

Does anyone know the fire tone out codes for york county's digital system so I can enter it into my BCD996XT. Also trying to confirm if you can scan the police in Charles city county since their system is Motorola TRBO. Thanks for the help!
