My son surprised me with a nice birthday gift: a new BCD996XT
I now have both:
BCD396XT, firmware ver. 1.08.04 (scanner working properly)
BCD996XT, firmware ver. 1.04.00 (scanner working propertly)
I just read up on SNTs and CHNTs, and find them neat and useful to use.
Example of how I use the number tags:
Say, I assign SNT 1 to trunk System #1 in both scanners.
With the 996XT, I press HOLD/1/./Menu and I get System 1, on Hold. Then I press and hold the HOLD button until "System Hold On" flashes, and I am scanning only System 1, which function I do want by doing what I did.
With the 396XT, I do the first part the same as I did with the 996XT, but after "System Hold On" flashes, it shows "Nothing to Scan".
I program both using FreeSCAN.
Question: Am I missing something?
Thank you
