BCD396T/BC996T: Missing a Digit

[Khdmtcbvsymw]

Using my Uniden BCD396T, I am having a problem trying to program a frequency with 5 digits to the right of the decimal point such as 773.53125 into a Motorola P25 system. Using the UASD software and going to the TRUNK Option, the software truncates the frequency to 773.5312. Using the scanner's controls, going to Menu/Program System/Ohio MARCS/Set Frequencies/Edit Frequency/773.53125, the scanner truncates the frequency back to 773.5312. I have Firmware Version 2.00.07 installed. Do I need to update my firmware or what?

The last digit "5" is present but not seen .....The freqys work perfect.....

No Bars

That's interesting, however I am getting no bars that would indicate reception on the main control channel at 774.28125. Does anyone know whether Ohio MARCS is actually up and running on the new MARCS system?

As was mentioned, the last (tens of Hz) digit is masked (not like being off 50 Hz will matter anyway).

In general, MARCS-IP is in operation, but you didn't mention any specific site. So, the site you are asking about may or may not be in operation. Even if it is, it might not be currently using the primary control channel (it may be using an alternate).

It would be a good idea to upgrade that firmware, your version does not allow for rebanded frequencies. Here is a link to the latest version:
