I have a new 296D. What i was wondering is if the offset/s for a certain system near me can be derived from the offset data figured from the table info from the pro-96com readout, then put into the 296D.
I tried putting in the offset value which works in my pro-96 into the 296D and it will not accept it. Apparently it has to be 380- whatever the limit is with that format
The offset issue in all the scanners for UHF and VHF systems, ie. 380, 460, or wherever it's supposed to be set at, how can this cross-reference to the table info of a system's channels on pro96com?
There is a download up on uniden's site i believe which has to do with tables and the radio's ability to follow systems that do not advert the info at all on the control channels for those systems. I don't know if it's applicable to 800/900 systems only, or straight across all the systems including the VHF UHF.
The manual states that type 2 p-25 UHF or digital systems in the UHF 450-512 band can be followed. I take it that the 406-420 systems can be followed if programmed correct??
I basically need to be fed on how to push the buttons on this thing to make it work, i don't believe i will have to mess with it the same way as the pro-96 extended tables programming with the off the wall offsets (4 and 5 digit ones according to the channels and what tables). Any help would be appreciated. I have looked all over creation for the workaround clue with this and have not seen it anywhere.
I got the 296 because of the amber light, i can read it easier and i know it will essentially do the same as the 396 minus 5,000 channels i don't need really. I need to learn my way around this one before i do get a 396 or any newer version to be.
The manual is not very exacting in what to do. Thanks, John.
