Hello:
I have a BCD996XT scanner with a USB-1 cable. Could someone give me a walkthrough on using Trunk88 with this equipment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
You have downloaded and unzipped
http://home.ica.net/~phoenix/wap/TRUNK88/Win32-TRUNK88-481.zip
to a folder/directory.
In the radio:
Menu -> Settings -> C-Ch -> On
Menu -> Settings -> Bauds -> Front or Back -> set speed 4800 to 115200
In the computer running windows:
Find out what com port that windows is using if it is com port 1:
Code:
start -> run.. > cmd.exe (or command.com) -> Ok Button
cd /to/the/folder/where/trunk88.exe/is
trunk88.exe /ccdump1
When prompted for audio device pick anyone, it doesn't matter for /ccdump
Display not working properly in trunk88
Control-L keys
At the box near the bottom of the screen use the down arrow key to select options.
Use ? in the box for help or control-h in a few menus.
Trunk88 does not support 9600 digital control channels use pro96com
There is a trunk88 yahoo group for further support.
The file TRUNK88.CTL has all the settings. You can edit this directly in notepad when trunk88.exe is NOT running.
A file based on the system ID while be created in the trunk88 folder
example: 6B0C.CTL that saves settings for that trunked radio system.
