BCD396XT/BCD996XT: BCD996XT Issue

[Metrofire31]

Recently, my 996XT has started coming on every time with Close Call active. I certainly can turn it off each time but can find nothing that tells me why it’s doing this. Anybody point me in the direction of disabling this feature so it only becomes active when I activate it?

After you turn off close call, are you turning off the scanner with the VOL/OFF knob, or are you turning the scanner off with a power strip switch??

Just a suggestion, if you go to "CloseCall in the menu settings and scroll to " Set CC Mode" and turn it to OFF that may help

Usually neither. I'm generally continuing to use the scanner so I turn off CC and return to scanning. Should I turn off the scanner at that point?

Thanks - I'll try that.

How is your scanner "coming on" if you aren't turning it off?

When the scanner is on with close call enabled, push the squelch knob until the screen shows Close Call Off.

Then turn the scanner off using the VOL / OFF knob. Now turn the scanner back on again... close call should now remain off.

Thanks for the help.
