Good Morning!
So a friend and I are taking a road trip across the country soon and he asked me to program his scanner while he is working on other vehicle aspects. Sure! Why Not! Can't be that hard! - or so I thought. I have years of experience in CB radios, Alarms, Remote Starters, etc, so I took on the challenge, only to find out that I am no where near qualified to understand what I am doing - so far anyway.
The scanner is a Uniden BDC996P2 with GPS receiver. After talking with another friend who I think has a newer system, I was under the impression that I could just plug in the USB cord, go to a site, and download whatever I need. I doubt that's the case at this point, but I remain hopeful.
We leave in 2 weeks and I feel like I am spinning my wheels trying to go through FAQ's and Wiki's when really what would work best for me is a step by step guide, or a little hand holding for the first couple of steps until I understand what I am doing. Is there a resource like that that I am missing, or would anyone be willing to guide me through a few cycles of programming until I stop asking dumb questions?
I appreciate the knowledge on here and I will continue to look in the mean time. Thank you for your time.
-Sean.
