HI all. I've got a BC796D that I bought many years ago when it was the top of the line. I believe I updated the firmware once but it was quite a few years ago.
I've had it sitting on my headboard for quite a few years and recently started listening to it again. It seems to still pick up lots of Los Angeles Police and Fire but I suspect there are lots of other stations and I'm probably not set up like I should be anymore.
I bought a copy of ARC250 when I first bought it and I've now updated to the latest version off the Butel website. It still accepts my registration so it's fully functional.
So one question is what version of firmware should I be running? When I turn it on holding 2,4, and 9 it says V3.29. I also want to know if I need to do the rebanding update.
And finally what would be the best way to get the most recent frequencies for LA Police and Fire and maybe the SoCal CHP too. I went ahead and bought a Premium Subscription so I should be able to download what I need.
I searched the forums for all this info but there's just so much here I was hoping someone knowledgeable would be able to help me in one post.
