    Should I pay to upgrade to have access to NXDN? Military base?

    I’m a super casual who has a Uniden BCD436HP. Previously I was in Fayetteville, NC and had great times listening to the local police and fire. I just enter my zip code, preferred service types and I was set. Now near Enterprise, Alabama and I hear NOTHING! It is totally dead and boring. Some...

    What's with the whine on P25 decode with all 396s?

    I've always wondered why my 325 & 996 have a P25 LP Filter setting on them. Later, I got interested in older scanners, and I became interested in the bcd396xt and the bcd996xt. I also started doing research on just the 396xt and the 396t, and the weirdest thing that stuck out about these...

    SDS100/SDS200: Sds100 audio problems and solution

    Hello my unit in SDS100. I have to use a powered external speaker to listen to it since the loudness does not make it loud enough to hear. I need a powered earpiece as well, to be able to increase the volume to the earpiece and not just an external speaker. Does anyone make a solution for...

    How would you organize MPSCS on your Uniden DMA scanner?

    Since MPSCS has a large number of talkgroups to listen to, how did you organize the Michigan statewide system on your Uniden DMA scanner, considering its limited capacity of 500 talkgroups and 20 groups per system? I would like to see what some of your ideas were so I could apply them to my scanner.

    Hi There! Well, it seems the ravages of old age are upon me. I can't remember how to 'personallize' the startup display using Sentinel.

    My SDS-200 will show a different frequency (sometimes) on the display that is not programed in my favorites list when monitoring simplex DMR One frequencies. It is in fact tuned to the new frequency that is displayed. Is there something about DMR that forces the SDS-200 to change frequencies? Is...
