hey all
having a bit of a problem with a bcd996xt
what happened was I was programming it with freescan and I noticed it pretty much made duplicates of all the systems in the scanner so I tried to correct it then the screen seemed frozen with the "keypad lock" screen stayed like that for several minutes then the screen went blank with just a low clicking noise coming out
now that is all its doing when I turn it on and it is not communicating with the usb cable
I searched around looking for some ways to do somewhat of a factory reset by holding down some keys(I think it was the 2 and 9 keys also something else with the lockout button)
I tryed them and nothing worked
Now in regards to the making duplicates of the systems it has done this before recently but it seemed to correct itself
Also using the freescan lately it seemed to be changing some things randomly(ex. it changed the screen color for no apparent reason)when I didn't touch anything else all I would do is just add new systems using the software
Anyone have any idea whats going on here? Is this some sort of bug with the scanner in particular or the programming software?
thanks
oh by the way yes the usb programming cable I did purchase directly from uniden because I did read something about other brand cables possibly causing some problems
