According to the wiki, the BC246T will survive rebanding. Does anyone know if this will be by a firmware update available by download or will the scanner need to be sent to Uniden for a new CPU ?
There should be a firmware update...
Someday, in the future, I think that NASA will land on the moon before rebanding firmware updates become a reality from Uniden.
Or at least it will seem that way.
This only applies to Motorola systems, EDACS and LTR just need the channels reprogrammed.
So no, you won't' have to send your scanner in to them. I think you can register it and your email address, and Uniden will send you an email. Of course watching here will let you know the good, the bad, of anything that comes out.
