I have now owned a Uniden BCD 996XT,proudly,for almost 2 weeks now. Embarrassingly I have not figured out how to run this scanner.I work 7 days a week and try to read a little more each day on how to program it for while at home in New Hampshire, and at work in Northern Massachusetts. I want to know as much info as I can about this scanner and how to program and use it but still know very little due to not comprehending/understanding a lot about it.
I am used to the programming.use of the analog scanners. i just pulled my scanner out of my closet in the last year (and bought another analog to travel with me to and from work). outside of that i am just not good with some things and this scanner is one of them. when i ask someone to explain something to me i sometimes have to tell them to explain it to me as if they were explaining it to a mentally challenged 8year old (not trying to offend anyone).I say this because my level of comprehension is not very high and i just don't take speaking directions well, i do better having it shown by doing.
QUESTION- I have the BCD 996XT and am soon going to have a friend help me program it.In the meantime I am wondering if I bought this GPS-K and connected it to my scanner would I somewhat still be in the same boat.Or will this GPS device pull up the systems in the area and begin scanning.
I just don't know if there is more programming even with the GPS-K, and if so is it self explanatory(will i be prompted to do certain actions on the panel of the scanner). will this GPS-K help me since I don't know my backside from my elbow, or will i still be stuck and in need of the assistance of someone with connected brain cells?
Again,I thank everyone for being so helpful and offering their knowledge and experience to people like myself that lack it in this area.see ya's on the boards!! -Forz/Scott-
