Proscan BCD 396XT - Programming San Diego

[jww619]

Hi guys, new to this hobby. Can someone help me out with a file to program my scanner for the San Diego area, Police and Sheriff mainly, I'm using Proscan. Thanks in advance guys.

I know I am a newbie, programming this scanner, even with Proscan I realize I have a lot to learn. Just wanted a file from someone that has been doing this for a while, so I can reverse engineer it, I learn better that way. Any help is greatly appreciated. Love this site, I don't want to be the annoying newbie guy but I learn quick. Thanks

I'm using ProScan, but live in WA State, so can't help you with a file. You might have better luck posting a request in the Reqional forum for your State. Scroll down through the Forums list. I see there's a subsection covering San Diego that should get you a quicker response.

This forum is so extensive and organized, I should have done some more digging. Thank you sir.

Happy to help you out. It took me a month or more to discover the State specific forums as they are way down on the list. Will be very helpful and easier getting an existing file to drop into your scanner. I have a WA-OR-CA file that's on another scanner website that would get you up and running if you want something to play with till you get a local one.

Here's a link to a post from last year with a .996 file that will work with your 396. http://forums.radioreference.com/un...ing-maybe-example-would-help.html#post1634898

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the help. I do have a local file from a neighbor. I would love to have a config file from a real enthusiast from this forum, then dissect in Proscan and compare to the one I have. Thanks again man.
