NXDN Comes to BCD325P2 and BCD996P2

[Ronaldski]

Can you elaborate the changes applied for

• Changed the operations for encryption
• Fixed muting issues on analog channels including trunking systems

Encryption one, fortunately there is very little in my area, so I was looking in the main menu settings, then the setting in the individual talkgroups and frequencies to see if any any new options were there, none seen. I was hoping to see something like to allow the encryption through or not in that way at least we can know if a TG or frequency has gone E, otherwise Unidens don't stop on E channels.

The muting one, is this addressing what occasionally we see from people here stating that some say they were missing beginning of radio traffic?

The audio is sounding better!

Sooooo.... I have ARC (Butel) as my programming software for my 996P2's. As of now, NXDN isn't supported through it. Is there another software program that I can program NXDN freqs and such into my 996P2's, until it is updated?

And, it has been a while, is there any type of Uniden "Sentinel" available for the 996P2's? I am not locating it anywhere if so.

I suppose non of the third party software for programming the BCD996P2 with regards to programming NXDN yet. The firmware update just arrived on our door step yesterday. Most likely the programmers for these software packages are in the works for updating for NXDN right now

It has been just over 24 hours. I know that those guys turn things around quickly...but maybe a week, not a day.

Bob with proscan stated today that he was working on it today

Didn't know if yall gave them a heads up or something.

I am most grateful for this wonderful addition to a great scanner

Great news. I will update and add NXDN to my 996P2 and 325P2 tonight.

Thank you for posting this update. I have to pay for the upgrade as well to NXDN ?

Yes

Unless he wants NXDN then that is a paid upgrade.

Thank you for posting this update. Is this update free ?

If you’re meaning the NXDN update, no.

The update is free. To utilize the NXDN portion of the update, you need to purchase an upgrade key.

I rolled back the firmware. P25 and LSM are way better on the previous firmware. I have the digital threshold set to 6, works better on both systems I monitor. On auto or any manual setting Metro 25 just would not decode.
Also there is a change in function knob. Holding it does not seem to get me to system hold on the new firmware.

Well updated 996P2 #1 and 996P2 #2 got all 4 996P2's running P25, DMR and NXDN works good here for me.

So I've updated and purchased the NXDN update,is there something you have to to do in order to receive NXDN?

Same here on Michigan's MPSCS P25 P1 system!

Have you checked RR's database to see what if any NXDN systems are in your area? Then you'd need to program them.

There's 3 NXDN systems in my area all have very strong signals. I programmed them through freescan.

The only other thing you didn't mention, but probably did do: Enter the key in the scanner to unlock the feature.

 

[w2csx]

Yes I did,also checked upgrade in setting and it says it's already active.
