On that same line of thinking, I'd like to say that when re-reading this thread a couple weeks ago, the posts by DiGiTaLD stood out as particularly informative. So this is my public "thank you" to him.

Pro96 anyone?

I have the Rad Shack Pro 96 with win96. I have re-programed the scanner with the nfo from the database. The drop down list is set to "MOT" with the correct control channels and correct group Id's. I know BG is the only active group on the new system but I have not heard a thing for several hours after reprogramming. (I know BG is not all that busy) Do I have the correct set-up? I'm 2miles south of BG.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
-Bill

Too bad it doesn't sound good on the scanner I listen quite a bit and the thought of listening to this all the time is horrifying.

Now we have a few days to make tweaks to our scanners...the list says no one should be cut over again until the airport does on Monday...unless Meca moves it up like they did Lawrence.

Is the latest Uniden 396T firmware 2.00.07 or is there newer?

TIA,

Yes there is. I don't have my 396 with me right now but my firmware version is definitely not that one. You should be able to get it from UPman's Yahoo group for the firmware upgrades. It would definitely be worth it to download the lastest version. It might be 2.01.01.

All my Speedway and fire dispatch traffic sounds badly garbled on my 396T, has anybody got a squelch setting / P25 mod / AGC combination I could try? I've been out of town and haven't been able to test the suggestions as they have come across the forum in the last few weeks.

Uniden's page still shows 2.00.07 as the latest in my "my scanners" page.
