Thanks, Gommert! Looking forward to it!
And wow, Digital voice was good on these tanks before, now it sounds comparable to a commercial radio!

*I* get it loud and clear. That's why I use a Unication G5, APX-7000 or XTL-2500 on Philly. The problem is everyone else doesn't see it and refuses to accept it is a problem IN MY AREA. Uniden and Whistler both seem to think their products do the job IN PHILLY and THEY DONT. So any firmware upgrade or update that they release will be met with extreme skepticism by me. Sorry not sorry
OK, well, sorry they don't work for you. It sounds like you have found some products that meet your needs, so enjoy them.
Fortunately, where I live in rural Arkansas (no simulcast here!) even my WS-1095 works just fine. My Uniden toys (436, 536, 325 & 996) all work great, too. I'm pleased...
Its ok Dan some here do not know the trouble you live with. Has anybody let you or have you seen 1st hand a SDS100 or SDS200?
Like I posted the other night my 996p2's on NXDN have more range then my others I am getting ready for a 300 mile round trip to test NXDN Trunking in just a few minutes and will report back 996p2 436 536 SDS100 all will be sharing the same FL and Antenna at the same time. BTW glad to see you back.

You didn't mention your radio collection in the first rant. Makes sense.
lol waste what time time... The firmware update took me about 45 seconds. You could have done the upgrade, and reverted back to a previous version if you didn't like it in the time you've spent posting in this thread. FWIW, I would recommend updating. There is a very noticable improvement in digital voice quality.

Thankyou Paul for all the hard work you do to satisfy us radio heads
Ditto and a big thanks to all the engineers behind the scene at Uniden that makes the magic happen.
I emailed him and he has told me there won't be any update to Freescan. He did however told me
since Freescan is now open source,if someone wants to update the software,feel free to do so.
Does anyone have a link to where the source code might be found? I didn't see any mention of FreeSCAN being open source and/or a link to a source code repository on their web site.
Gommert:
Will the update require repurchasing the software?
I've had ARC for a long time to program my BCD325P2. I haven't used it for a long time, and I'm no longer familiar with what it takes to update it.
Just asking . . . I'll be happy to buy the software again if that's what it takes to use it for NXDN systems.
Thanks!

Did the update but digital p25 still sounds muffled and very digitized. I don't really know what setting to use. 996p2 using FreeScanner. This is a single channel p25 on local PD. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Carlos
Thanks Carlos
You're in Montana...how far is considered 'local'? What are you using for an antenna? How many signal bars do you have in the upper right portion of the display? Are you using an internal speaker and if so do you have some space under the scanner to let the sound out, or are you using an external speaker?
