I've had the HP-2 for about 60 days. I've been logging hits using Arc Patrol. The HP-2 developed a habit of disconnecting the serial connection at random. Sometimes hours, sometime minutes after connecting. Other times it would not link up at all and Arc Patrol locked up. Windows always detected...

Rather than paying $80 to 100 for a new GPS receiver, I am going to try using my Earthmate GPS. My question is this....The Earthmate has a USB connection, but the BCD996XT has a serial port. I am thinking of building a cable to connect the two, with a female serial port and a female USB. Looking...

I'm using Arc Patrol to log the HP-2. Arc Patrol loses communication with the HP-2 at random. Arc Patrol will display its default information screen and quits logging. Arc Patrol logs the comm loss like it was a scanner hit. The HP-2 continues scanning and Windows Device Manager show the comm...

Is the BCD396XT programmable from a Mac or PC via USB cable like my BCD396T?

Good evening, all! I recently purchased a used BCD-996XT from eBay, and it came with a 4-pin mini-USB programming cable. (It doesn't appear to be Uniden, and I'm almost positive it's not the USB-1 cable.) Since it came with the scanner, I presume the previous owner was using it. Anyhoo, it...

I've got an IC-R5 I haven't used in years and I'd like to start using it again. If memory serves my programming cable was a D-Sub cable (I can't find it). I only have Windows 7 PC with USB ports now. Where can I buy a USB cable (or good instructions to make one) that will work with the IC-R5...

My motherboard on my desktop does not have any serial ports at all, only USB 2 and USB 3 ports. So I read up that the scanner has a mini USB port on the front and a DB9 connecter that connects to the desktop? I'm at a loss here. So would something like this help me...

Hello, I am interest in listening to communications but I would like to have a new more powerful antenna. I think a buy this antenna but you think that this will work if I plug this antenna has my USB? (Digiwave Digital TV Antenna (ANT2084) : Antennae - Future Shop) & I could change the...

I have 1 feed already running on a windows computer with 1 scanner. Running very well. I am trying to set up another feed with another scanner. Both scanners are the same ( 996xt ). I would like to run both off the same computer. The sound card is motherboard related. Being that the only slot...

I came across this article which provided instruction to use SDRSharp ( Software defined radio ) and a $20.00 USB Antenna set up to be able to scan im assuming just about any thing imaginable. Hoping to try it out this weekend ( If the USB shows up tomorrow in the mail ) But has any one tried...

I have noticed that some HF Frequencies are getting submited to the database as AM. I know that they are not AM Mode and are in fact USB. What is the main reason HF, AM Radio and FM Radio frequencies are not allowed ? I know for a long time Ham Radio FM and UHF Repeater Frequencies were only...

Can anyone show/tell what the 396xt cable looks like? I think I bought the one from Scanner Master. My problem is, it got misplaced. I found a usb cable that fits it, but my computer doesn't recognize it and assign a COM port, so I am not sure if I got the right cable or not.

Anyone know what this net is? I have no idea. It was on 6977 khz at 10:30 pm GMT today (Sept 23rd). I'm sure it's maritime related, but it sounded like a ham net....but absolutely not on 40 meters as it was in the 6 meg range. Is that a maritime ssb frequency? If so, what's the net called...

Hello all; I plan to purchase a Uniden Bearcat BC346XT, found at the link below, for use in the NYC area. I plan to use Freescan to program it myself, but I was curious to know whether or not the Serial to USB Adapter cable below would be compatible. It seems as if it has the correct chipset...

I'm surprised the RTL-SDR hasn't shown up here yet. It's a DVB-T USB dongle that has a nifty feature, the receiver IC can be set to send the I/Q streams raw over USB to the host computer. There's a GNURadio driver for it. It only has an 8-bit A/D but can run up to about 2.8Msamples/sec...

Trying to [re]program my VX-4000 with CE49 software, an old laptop running at 700Mhz with a fresh install of Win XP Pro. Got the radio-to-USB cable from Kawamall. Com port is set to match in Device Manager and CE49. Radio is in PC Clone mode. When I try to read the radio it starts to cycle...

I have been working on a command-line program to control the HomePatrol-1 (Extreme) over the USB serial port. A public test version of HPe-rc is ready to download at hp.xoynq.com. It is Windows only at this time. There's no reason it would not work in Linux, but it has not been tested yet. The...

Hello, all, from a newbie! I have a question I'm wondering if some bright soul might be able to answer; I'm wondering if there is a Transceiver out there that can not only be controlled by a computer via USB, but one that also allows reception of the audio stream through the computer as well...

Is there a compatible device I can use to simultaneously encode a lot of inputs? Like 8 or 16 mono inputs that the software can treat as unique feeds. Searches for '8 input USB' usually turn up mixers. I don't want to mix, I want them to remain separate. I have a source for many inputs but...
