I happened to find this cool little program that displays the data on the scanners screen. Its called "ID Tracker" and it was pretty easy to set up. I like it cause it is easier for me to see whats going on instead of having to look at scanner I can look at computer monitor. It does some other useful functions too. I am using it on my Uniden BCT15x. I am not sure if it will work on the BCD996p2, although I is compatible with the BCD996XT.
