    BCD396T/BC996T: Upload Issue With Freescan or BCD396T

    Hello, got lucky (I think) and got a ‘NOS’ BCD396T for under a $100.00. Have programmed BCD396XT, BCD996XT, BCD352P2 & BCD996P2 with absolutely no problems at all using Freescan, Windows 7 Pro. While uploading to the unit it slows down to an extremely slow crawl and at times stops before the...

    Did I do it right?

    Hi all, I am waiting on my 996XT to arrive so I decided to download FreeSCAN and set it up. I'm in New Zealand so everything is analog except encrypted police in the major cities. Now this is the first scanner I have owned so I was just wondering if it looked correct to you guys and gals that...

    Turn off the service scan?

    This is making me crazy. I have the BCD996P2 and have programmed it using FreeScan and RadioReference data. The frequencies are programmed, and they work fine. When I turn the radio on (and almost immediately press the “Hold” button), the stations I programmed come up immediately, and I can...

    Freescan: FreeScan; ordering Sites and Groups

    I would like to change the order of Sites and Groups in the left-hand pane of FreeScan. I would prefer to have Sites listed first, unlocked before those checked "Locked," followed by Groups in order of their Group Quick Key. Under the "Edit" tab, "Sort" is grayed out, so I've been using the...

    Hello all, I'm really new to all of this. My family had a scanner from the 80s that we used everyday until a few months ago. I got my dad a Uniden BCD996P2 for Christmas. I just got the premium membership so I can easily find the frequencies and everything for my area. I uploaded them to the...

    Hello Everyone, My brother obtained a second hand BCT15X and is currently using Freescan. He wants to group the precincts to our police department together so he is able to them at once. How would he go about this using Freescan? Thank you one and all for the help.

    Freescan: Windows 10 Setup

    Can some one please explain the setup needed to get my BCT15X to communicate with Freescanin Windows 10 using the cable that comes with the scanner? I have a RS232 port on my computer. Any special driver needed? Do you need to setup a virtual com port? Please help, this is getting frustrating.

    I have successfully programmed a Uniden 396XT and 325p2 scanners using the freescan software and importing from RR. But I don't see as many counties in the import wizzard of freescan as I do on the databases list on RR. How do I import those other counties too? I'm kinda new to this and any help...

    OK riddle me this .. I can connect my 536 to my Windows 10 box, verify there is an active comm port link in the devices manager, open Sentinel and Read the card in the scanner, make changes and there is no issue. However, to use BT536, the only way to address the scanner is by using the Open...

    I recently purchased a BCD325P2 to listen to San Diego County - Imperial County RCS which is a Motorola Type II SmartZone system. I used Freescan to upload the TG's that I want to listen to but I am still hearing all the TG's that I DON'T want to listen to. In Freescan, I locked out the TG's...

    Freescan: FreeScan's Creating a lot of Blank Files.

    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...

    Freescan Template Franklin County Ohio

    I queried once before but was unable to connect with anyone for a solution. I have a 996XT I would like to program for this area and hoped that someone may have already created a file in Freescan so I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. Can any member advise if they have something similar...

    I've searched these forums and can't seem to find an answer to this one, so here goes. I'm wanting to look at my GPS setup for an entire statewide system in either Google Maps or Google Earth. I've adjusted some of the radii and would like to see if I'm left with any gaps (or too much...
