bcd996xt

The front port and/or associated connection cables on the 996T and 996XT has to be one of the poorest design ideas I can imagine. The port wouldn't be so bad if the cables which connected into them were at 90 degrees, but to stick out an inch is crazy. The port and cable connector are both so...

Is there a way that I can make the imported program files to look like the original programming files, I like the way they look on the scanner display better than the imported files.

I bought a BCD996XT Scanner with the Victoria Police talk group already on it. I would like to add two more talk group, the BC Ambulance & Fire Departments. I don't want to lose the info already on the scanner. The trunk system is "Motorola Type II SmartZone" "Capital Region Emergency Services...

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...

I'm thinking about purchasing the BCD996XT. I have almost no room to install it in my 2007 Ford Escape, so I was thinking about taking out the commercial radio and placing this in it's place. I've looked around the web to see that this is possible physically. I would like to find out if this...

Bought a BCD996XT and want to use software to load it up. Question, if i pay for subscription here and download a CSV file of frequencies in my county and then use the free version of BC Tool, is that what i need to get this programming done and start enjoying my purchase?

I looked and it says Link heard on SWNH.org, its 458.6000. I hear Derry FD dispatch on 154.1300 and then I hear them on this 458.6000. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I programmed a bunch of frequencies in via ARC XT scanner software. For Nashua it displays it on the bottom near SO and GRP but the other frequencies it doesn’t show it. I have it labeled to what I’m listening to IE Lowell Fire.

I live in Nashua NH and everything is digital and Rebanding. I currently own a 996T and I cannot program the talk group IDS. I remember posting here awhile back and someone told me that the 996T will not expect the Talk group IDS because of the Rebanding and I would need the 996T. I would like...

i am still a little confused on how priority scanning works on the BCD996XT. I have 2 separate trunked systems and a conventional Vhf system that I scan regularly. I have a channel on the conventional system set as priority but the scanner never jumps to this channel. Putting the scanner in...

Here's my setup: - BCD996XT (mounted under driver seat) - BC-RH96 (Remote Head - mounted on dash) - Maxrad MLPV800 antenna (permanent NMO/Motorola mount on roof) - Motorola extension speaker (in passenger floorboard) Install was completed by John Carmichael and his team at C-Comm911...

I purchased a BCD996XT last week to replace my 2005 BC796D that I sold to a friend. I live in Keller, TX, surrounded by several TX DPS repeaters. TIn the ID Scan mode, the BCD996XT scanner will not stop on any of the preinstalled TX DPS frequencies. I have downloaded the 1.04.00 firmware...

When I put my BCD996XT on "Hold" it only seems to hold on the particular system I was scanning, it still scans through the groups within that system. Anyway to make it hold on the System AND Group so I only hear radio traffic on a specific talkgroup?

So I've just started programming my new BCD996XT and am stuck on a few things... Is there anyway to prioritize among different systems? Ex: I have a conventional system and two trunked systems. Anyway to specify that I want to hear the conventional system first, then trunked system 1, then...

Hello, Thanks in advance to everyone who reads and or comments back. I recently activated an online feed. I have a BCD 996XT. I am having difficulty with the alpha tags not communicating with the scanner. It says not communicating with scanner, to communicating with scanner. I have...

Hello, I need a bit of help programming for the ICIS system. I'm using FreeScan on a BCD996XT. I've read a bunch of posts on the same subject, but I'm confused concerning which system to create and where to put freqs once in that system. I've read that the ICIS is a Motorola Type II...

Running RadioFeed with Serial Port Monitor on a BCD996XT. I can see the data going through the serial port, but the sound card is still connected. Is it normal for the feed to go through the sound card from the serial port? Or did I miss a setting somewhere? Mike

Does anyone know if it is possible to setup the BCD996XT to recognize tones in "Tone-Out Standby" and then open the squelch to hear the transmission and then return to scanning "Tone-Out Standby"?

Okay I have been looking all day and have not been able to find a thread that is simular to my question. I just got my new Uniden BCD996XT scanner today. I have been able to program conventional channels and a motorola trunking system with no problem. However, I have no idea where to start...

Just received a BCD996XT to use in the Cincinnati, Ohio Area. I am using Freescan and so far it is working out well. I am requesting assistance for the following problem: For the Fire and EMS dispatch talkgroups that also multicast on to legacy channels for tone out and dispatch, I can not...
