[shadow2019]

I just bought a used bcd396xt I don't have a old computer to hook up programing cable to. So I have to program by hand. I cannot figure out how to program state police for Harrisburg. il. Saline county. I know that it is dis. 19 dispatched by dis. 13 Could someone show me how to program these sites. I did try to figure out how to by reading marks easier manual. But I am Still at a complete lost for digital. Thanks in advance

Shadow2019 this works for me on windows 10 so I can still program from the usb port. Just use the existing cable assuming you still have that, connect it to the below item.

shadow,
try setting any trunking system as conventional.
that avoids any programming error.
if you can't hear anything you are out of range or in a bad spot.
and then you can just delete it if you get the real one to work...but...
if a motorola system goes down (fail soft) you would need to program in a conventional system to hear anything at all. their radios can handle it, yours can't. it goes to stand alone repeaters.

Thanks for all the help I have it up and running. This is the first scanner I ever had that I just could not figure out. I knew that I was missing something. Once again thanks for all help Shadow2019
