    996xt Location scanning question

    BCD996XT front port...issures...@#$$%%^

    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...

    Original program files

    BCD996XT In-Dash Installation

    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...

    BCD996XT Freq not showing on scanner display

    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.

    Bcd996t vs bcd96xt

    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...

    BCD996XT: "Hold" on Systems/Groups

    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?
