You mistakenly posted a tech support question in the prospective owners forum. In the future please post tech support questions to the Uniden Tech Support Forum. With that out of the way I highly recommend Proscan for programming, particularly trunked radio systems, You're already a premium sub. You are going to have to upgrade to a P25 Phase-II scanner in the near future as Suffolk County has migrated to a new P25 Phase-II system which the BCT15X can't track & the legacy SmartZone system will eventually be taken offline. A Uniden SDS100 or SDS200 is recommended for the new system to overcome potential simulcast distortion

If you and your uncle live in the same area, you can clone one scanner to the other without using any software.

Wired Clone​

This feature allows you to copy all the settings from one scanner to another of the same model:

1. Use one of the included data cables to connect the two scanners. Plug the DB9 end into the rear port of one scanner and the other end into the front port of the other scanner.
2. On the scanner you want to copy from, go to the Wired Clone menu and select Master then select the port (Front Port or Rear Port) that the cable is connected to on that scanner .
3. On the scanner you want to copy to, go to the Wired Clone menu and select Slave then select the port (Front Port or Rear Port) that the cable is connected to on that scanner .

The master scanner checks to make sure the slave is properly connected and ready to receive, then begins the data transfer. Do not disconnect the data cable or turn off either scanner during the transfer.

When the transfer is finished, both scanners display a Complete message. Reboot the slave scanner to load the new settings.

All settings and data saved on the Slave scanner will be erased!
