I just purchased a used Uniden BCD996XT. It seems to be in working order but I have to admit, I can't understand ANY of the instructions at Uniden's website. There instructions are at an engineer's level.
I have older scanners, but this one baffles me. I have managed to get a few things up and running. I changed the screens back ground color. Got the WX channel, but Uniden's terminology Qck Save Cnv Sys and New System is beyond me.
I live in Selden, New York 11784 and there is no pre-loaded option close to me. I did some web searches and see there are companies you can send you scanner to be programmed, but I'm not comfortable with sending anything like this out for preprogramming. Besides, then I'll never learn how to do it myself.
I just loaded onto my computer, "Free Scan". I don't have the connector cord yet to attach the BCD996XT to my USB port yet, Any suggestions which cord will work. I see the unit has a Mini USB port right under the Function knob.
I came across a company located in Massapequa, NY but lost their information due to it didn't list in my
Favorites correctly. They claimed they can do it for 1/2 the price of others online who do preprogramming and Massapequa is more local to me, if I have to go that route.
Any suggestions out there that can get me started?? All help would be appreciated! Thank you.
