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...

So I have bought my subscription and purchased my Uniden 396XT and programmed it with all my local stuff but I haven't found an import for the NAS JRB the av side. I live in the flight path and a super av geek. What would be the best way to create a system for the below information. Does anyone...

I searched the Virginia section of the Forum pretty extensively for answers, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of this, so I figured I would try a fresh posting. I am helping a friend who has a new BCD325P2 to get it working. We are using the latest version of Freescan, which is supposed...

I am trying to connect the scanner to my laptop. I have a 9 pin male serial to usb cable that connects to the female cable supplied with the unit. When I try to download files from FreeScan I get a communication error cannot communicate with the scanner. I have used this usb cable to program...

I have two Uniden 996P2 scanners and a Whistler (GRECOM) 1040 (PSR500). Currently on my PC I use Win500, PSREdit, Freescan, Proscan and ARC-XT Pro. All are fully licensed by me. If I switched to an Apple Mac will any of the programs run under a Mac PC emulator or are there any native Mac...

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...

I head to Foxboro and Seekonk alot So I think I will be ok with my 996XT I use Free Scan and ARC Pro and was just looking for some help with files.. Like Area FD, Cty SO, and State Police.. I hope I have this in the right place for locals in the above state to see

I head to Thompson and Stafford Springs alot So I think I will be ok with my 996XT I use Free Scan and ARC Pro and was just looking for some help with files.. Like Area FD, Cty SO, and State Police.. I hope I have this in the right place for locals in the above state to see

This is my first Uniden raido so I am not familiar at all with the menu system or programming. An included manual would have been nice... Was advised FreeSCAN is the best way to program this radio so this is the only software I have used on it. Wondering if I am doing this right. (I only have...

Problem: Freescan AND Proscan will not install and/or run on my Windows 7 machine. The install process seems to move very quickly and the progress bar speeds to about 1/4 of the way, then it looks like it just shuts down. With freescan, it says it's installed and the icon is there. When I try...

Hello. I'm new here since getting my new BCD996XT ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) When I unzip fssetup217.zip, just one file is the result: fssetup217.exe. I run fssetup and it seems to run normally, except for incomplete progress bar while installing. It blinks out fast and then says it's installed... icon is...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this because this is darn annoying. Every time I try to connect FreeScan to the scanner (with the proper settings) it all ways gives me 'Could not connect to scanner. Response received: -1'. Sometimes just out of the blue it will connect though...

I'm trying to program in SAME groups, and I think I have it, but need to confirm it. I could wait until the next weather emergency to see if it works, but I need it to work during the next weather emergency. In FreeScan, there are several columns: SAME Group Name, FIPS 1, FIPS 2, FIPS 3, FIPS...

Hi, I live in Beamsville and I bought a BCD996XT. Could some one please send me the file so I can program this unit? Since this is my first scanner, I have no idea what the range of these things are. Could I listen to Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara and New York? Anyway here is my email address...

I see other state forums have FreeScan files (996) for different locations in the states such as NY,CA and IN. Example in the forum "Uniden 396xt/996xt Starter Freescan Files NC" Are there any files available for Michigan? I just returned to scanning after ten years. I see a lot has changed...

Hello Forum, I tried to search and find an answer, but I'm afraid I'm a bit overwhelmed with the terminology used and the acronyms. It's like trying to read another language for me, I just don't have the experience with this hobby yet. I was hoping someone could maybe help me out or point me...

Hi all, I now own a BCD996xt and a 396xt, both of which I program with Freescan. I use more or less the same codeplug in both radios (with subtle changes), but I would like to set general options for the radio slightly differently. I cannot seem to find any way to set up profiles on a per-radio...

Hello folks, I'm having a very difficult time programming the Uniden 996XT, in fact I'm completely clueless. I have done the best I can with both ARC-XT and Freescan. When I compile everything to send to the scanner everything filed under S0:1 which I assume is the quick key. So it's not...

Howdy, I want to program my 396xt with 49 megahertz frequencies and the FM Broadcast band using FREESCAN. When I attempt any type of CONVENTIONAL DOWNLOAD IN FREESCAN I cannot find these portions of the spectrum. Is there any way This can be done in FREESCAN.? Thanks in advance!

Here is my freescan file for Erie County, PA. All FIRE,EMS,POLICE,SHERIFF,PRISON STATE PARK OPS & HAM. Hopefully it will fast track someone to programming there scanner, or an add on to someone maybe visiting or traveling through. -Dill
