BCD325P2/BCD996P2: BCD996P2 that was factory reset

[dortego63]

I have a BCD996P2 that was factory reset. I would like to return it to factory programing. I will like to use Pro scan to do so.
Is there a file that I cam use to do so ? I do not have a back up to do so. I there a file that I can obtain to do this restore

Scanner Reset to initialize the scanner's memory, turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and Hold while turning it on (remember the game called Twister?). The scanner will give you the option 'Restore Preprogram List? "Yes"=E/No="."', if you press 'E/Yes', the scanner reloads the preprogrammed systems.

Important! This deletes all programmed data.

The problem I have is that the scanner will not give me the option to restore preprogram list after a reset

I don’t believe it came from factory with any programming. Maybe you got it programmed from the dealer?

Preprogrammed Systems - Your scanner is preprogrammed with several conventional and digital agencies covering police, fire, and ambulance.

Mine had no programming, out of the box or, after I did a full reset.

The 992P2 comes with no Factory Programming you have to program the scanner.

I see that you are a premium subscriber. With ProScan, you can download programming directly from the Radio Reference Database.

Presuming the 996P2 is like the older x96 scanners, when you do the factory re-set, what was mentioned above is correct:

Scanner Reset to initialize the scanner's memory, turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and Hold while turning it on (remember the game called Twister?). The scanner will give you the option 'Restore Preprogram List? "Yes"=E/No="."', if you press 'E/Yes', the scanner reloads the preprogrammed systems.

It's possible you may have hit the "." so the scanner did not add the pre-programmed "stuff" that is stored in the scanner's operating system and thus the pre-programmed "stuff" was not added.

Even if you did restore the preprogram list, it is so far out of date, it is about useless. So no major loss.
