For past few months the scanner sometimes shows no signal bars while on my SDS200 I hear activity. I try to turn it off on and reconnect the antenna and sometimes it works but sometimes I still hear nothing then I suddenly start hearing activity. One day I removed the antenna and something came...

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...

Hello all, I have a Uniden BC125AT analog scanner and am looking for a police, fire, emergency, and related frequency file for WV, main county Marion, to upload through the program for the scanner. Is anyone able to create an updated DB file and is it even worth it, as everything is digital and...

Looking for help on setting up for uniden 996p2 to priority scan a certain channel. I have 2 channels programmed into the scanner. 1. Digital Trunked 2. Analog Conventional I want to set it so that if that Digital trunked channel is talking and then the analog conventional starts to talk it...

So i bought this SDS100 at a online auction and got a pretty good deal on it. after i got it i noticed it's not charging i'm not seeing the battery voltage on the display if i turn it off the red light comes on and it just blinks while plugged in, but when i turn it on there is no light. i also...

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...

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...

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.

This is a problem I have been having for a while… I have been monitoring a P25 system for over 10 years. With advanced knowledge regarding the system’s operation, and the programming of both radios and scanners for 2 decades. I have not been able to hear a talkgroup on said P25 system from my...

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. I used to have my Amateur callsign and email address when the SDS200 first powered up, but I noticed recently it wasn't there (maybe an update killed it? IDK)...

Hi everyone and thank you in advance for any help you guys may provide. I’m currently using a uniden 996p2 and an android tablet to broadcast to zello. I’ve used a rode sc7 patch cable trs - trrs directly from the record out port on the back of the scanner to the tablet and even added a inline...

I am getting a SDS100 for use in and out of my vehicle. I need a recommendation for the rubber duck antenna. I am monitoring the AIRS p25 phase 2 simulcast system in the Birmingham area. Ideally the rubber duck antenna will be as low profile as possible without suffering a major performance...

Hello everyone, I have a BCD436HP (I got it in November of last year); I'm going to be using at least 2 of these in my vehicle (likely the 436 and 536), I'm trying to find an antenna for my vehicle. I have a pickup truck, so I'm ideally looking for one that I could bolt/screw into my backrack...

Hi all, I have a Uniden PRO500D CB radio I picked up for a real steal. I turned it on and there is no sound on receive, no matter the antenna connection, no matter the mic connection. I've checked all possible solutions (Is the mic plugged in? Is the antenna plugged in? etc...) and nothing...

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...

Hi everyone. I am curious if I would be buying the correct scanner for monitoring my local agencies. I want to be abundantly clear, i am brand new to this and a lot of the language and lingo on these forums easily confuse me… so any watering down of technical language would be appreciated lol...

I recently purchased a new UBC75XLT and I have been trying to set the step to 8.33 khz. It is not an option, but the manual and everything I have found says that it has 5.0/6.25/8.33/10.0/12.5/20.0 kHz and Default selectable options. Do I need to update the unit firmware? If so, how? I have...

I got a Uniden Homepatrol II as a Christmas present this past December. I've been having issues listening to the railroads for about the past month or so. I can listen to fire and police just fine but I can't pick up the two local railroads here worth squat sometimes. I've changed from the stock...

Hi I am just wanting to ask some questions and maybe get some answers to some stuff I am finding hard to find by searching I'm sure it's out there I just can't find definite answers to some things, anyway's here it is. I bought the BCD325P2 new, and it will be here tomorrow and when I get it...
