There have been several questions lately on how to properly get the digital scanners to trunk the DC metro system, so I thought a wiki article would be in order. The article can be found here;
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Programming_the_MPDC_in_Digital_Scanners
Right now, we have screen shots of the setups for ARC396 (BCD396), Win96 (PRO-96/2096), BCTool and Freescan (both covering the 396 and 996). Some hints are at the bottom of this article.
Additional screen shots from the other digital-capable software (Trunkstar Elite/Pro, ARC996 - if different from the 396 - Scan Control, ARC250 and Proscan...and of course all 3 of the GRE compatible packages, and perhaps others I haven't thought of...) are greatly desired, as are any hints or tricks, such as P25 settings, hidden menu settings, and anything else you might think will trip up the newcomer/visitor. Don't forget to add directions on how to get to these screens.
If anyone has questions on how to proceed (uploading, modifying the article, ect.), please feel free to contact the team.
