I have a radio shack pro-106/pro-197 portable scanner, we were up and running fine until last week and lost all traffic. So I'd like to know if you have the information to help us, and also someone you would recommend for helping me program I have the software and programmable cable. Someone walked me right through it last time no trouble. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Scott, Please check this out.

Updating the Firmware in Uniden DMA Scanners - The RadioReference Wiki

You need firmware 3.0.2 according to the article for your 996t. Rebanding support started with version 3 of the firmware for the 996t. The article has links to more information including the uniden site.

I hope this does the trick. Let us know.

Okay.... My scanner HAS been updated to 3.02.00... All old control channels were wiped, and then I added all new rebanded control channles..... I tried setting it up as "Motorola Rebanded" and it gets hung up on some frequency that doesn't even exist.... If I use regular old Motorola Type II, it does nothing, but stay locked on the local CC...

Read your scanner with FreeScan and post it here and maybe someone can see what the issue is. Sounds like all of the usual culprits have been addressed.

Email me which exact system & site you are trying to monitor and I will
help by setting up a Freescan file for you with the rebanded info.

If you are going to be using Freescan with windows 7 or 8 then you have to load an old version of the serial to parallel drivers...The newest drivers in windows doesn't work with the Uniden cables. Check the Wiki for this info...

Uniden BCDE96T

I am attempting to reprogram my Uniden BCDE96T. Its firmware version is 3.02.02
The Edit Band Plan menu requires me to select from 16 field (0-9 and A-E). Each field requires me to input base frequency and spacing. I see no way to input the Lo, High, Step and Offset information you provided.
Can you help?
Thank you.

It appears that all Nash, Wilson, and Edgecomb county VIPER sites have rebanded. Also C508 Site 01, Farmville. The only non-rebanded site I can pick-up from Rocky Mount is Wake County, 6038, Site 01.
