I put in the local police for Niagara here and they sound like robots, can anyone tell me how to tune this up to work? I am running a Uniden Bearcat 250 with Apco 25 card installed and working.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Bearcat Uniden BC250D Sounds like robot, why?

You have to tweak the voice setting. In conventional manual mode, wait for a channel to go active and then hold down 9. Once you're in the sound quality setting, let go of 9 and use the thumbwheel to adjust the 3 values that appear. There will be a 4 digit number displayed on the first line of the LCD when you are receiving a transmission - you want that number to be as close to 0000 as you can get.
Hope that helps.

When you hear a transmission on the channel, press "Hold", then press and hold number 9 until you see "Sound Quality" on your screen. When it starts transmitting again rotate the VFO / Select knob to the left or right to adjust the quality of the sound. When you get it where you want it, press "Resume" twice or "Resume" and "Scan" It does tell you abut this in the manual.
I have the BC785D (base model of the 250D) and I had to adjust my digital sound quality. I have never gotten it to where it sounds like a regular VHF or UHF system, but a least I can understand what they are saying. It sounds a bit muffled and also, the volume of the transmissions is louder than regular systems.
Hopefully Uniden has corrected this problem in the newer BC 796 and 296 models.

Yep, NRPD is full time encrypted. No amount of audio fine tuing will help that I'm afraid 
re-NRP
Also the Niagara Falls Parks Police are encrypted too.
