Programing quick key groups - Uniden BCD325P2

[JGGFirePhotos]

Hello,

I have recently purchased and programmed a Uniden BCD325P2 scanner using Freescan and the databases from here. I can scan and listen no problem, but I have multiple counties programmed (Central Florida - Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Polk County Fire Departments) and the only way I can figure out how to switch between departments is to use the scroll control and rotate it through all the frequencies until I reach the one I desire. My question is, how can I program the scanner that if I press, for example, the 2 button it pulls up Osceola County, 3 Seminole County, etc.? I see something about quick keys, but I cannot figure out what they do or how they work

Quick keys turn systems and groups on and off.

There are system quick keys and group quick keys.

This explains it further.

Uniden BCD996P2 owners in Shelby County I need programming help.

I just purchased a new 996P2 and I'm using Freescan. I programmed Collierville, Memphis, Airport and a few Ham repeaters. I also programmed some quick keys which I don't completely understand. I have a BC100 and BC200 so I shouldn't have problems with the 996P2 but I am. Any help would be...

So if I am understanding correctly, quick keys are used to choose (in my case) what counties I want to listen to while scanning? If I want to hold on the dispatch frequency of another county, the best method is to press FUNC and then the scroll control to toggle between counties?

You need to create "Sytems" for each county and assign a Quick Key to each one so as to turn them on and off at will
