How would I program this system with a DE or decimal format in a p25 phase 2 system or using the HEX system and also how would I set the fire tone out feature
If I want to lockout one system so I can focus on listening to another, how can I do that? I've tried locking it out through ProScan software, but it didn't seem to do anything. The system I tried locking out is still actively scanning. :(
I sure hope you can help me , a year ago i bought a bct-15x which i had them program for my area , well 2 weeks ago i bought a second one , not programmed thinking i would just clone it.. it looks like a easy straight forward process but i am not having any luck , can you show me how to transfer from my programmed one to the stock bct-15x. these are Identical models. thanks and i sure hope you can
i have 3 15x's one being brand new because about 3 weeks ago the one i have on my nightstand .. sometimes i turn it off before falling to sleep,and sometimes i fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the night and turn it off. well on this one night it was working fine (audio coming out) when i fell asleep and then when i woke up i seen it was still scanning and stopping on the busy channels but NO audio was present. i turned it off and found time a week or 2 later to look at it , i even tried using a pair of headphones and a ext. speaker but no AUDIO from those as well.. I did a full reset to see if that might fix it but to no avail. i did send uniden a email but its the weekend so i was hoping to hear back from them this week sometime, but your video here doesn't sound like i will . i have a small amount of experience with a soldering iron and even bought a "rework" reflow hot air station that ive used once on a dji drone remote controller with success ;-) any ideas for me before i open up the hood on this thing.. thanks in advance - steve
I have a TRX-2 that has poor receive sensitivity. I want something for P25 type 1 and 2, locks in on a signal fast and can Handle simulcast. Will this work or do I need to get an SDS unit?
@ Sky1 The BCD996P2 works fine for us here on our simulcasted systems in MD, however, in some areas this radio doesn't do the best for these types of systems. If you want the best reception the SDS Units are the best bet.
Hi there. With this scanner, is it possible to have it scan based on location? What I mean is, when we travel across the country just have it scanning for pd/fire/ems as were driving from state to state? Or would we have to program in each country/state? Thanks. I'm familiar with old crystal based scanners and the old Bearcat desktops of the early 80's.
+EarthWatcher the desired frequencies would need to be pre-programmed into the BCD996P2 before this would work. If you're looking for a scanner that has a built-in database I recommend checking out the BCD536HP or SDS200, with either of these scanners you're able to connect the Uniden GPS Reciever and scan through the states using the pre-programmed Database.
Or buy the uniden CB radio that has the built in bearcat scanner that has gps included and pre installed data base for USA and Canada plus you can talk on a cb with it 2 radios in one
@DandyDon1 That is correct, this video was made 5 years ago so some changes have happened since. The update page is listed here: info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/BCD996P2FirmwareUpdate
@e 1987 The HBCT3C5150Z is the stand included with the BCD996P2, we sell these on the bearcatwarehouse website www.bearcatwarehouse.com/accessories/hbct3c5150z-mounting-bracket
@ Aaron Brown you would have to program this radio manually or using 3rd party software. We offer mail-in and remote programming services if you need them, www.bearcatwarehouse.com/programming-services
@Debora LLoyd If you have a channel on hold the scanner will only monitor that channel, you can hit the "hold/resume" key that will remove the current hold and you'll go back to scanning all the programmed frequencies. Depending on the area you may have multiple channels for the sheriff's office if so you might want to leave all the channels open.
I was wondering how I can get a hold of these people on here right now I need to send my scanner in and get my update on my scanner and have them program anybody know how to get a hold of this site for that they said that they can do it
+Bob Mason I don't believe so but you can save your programming files into software like Freescan w applicable cable and write the files into the desired Radio.
I'm thinking about buying this scanner,but uniden digital scanners are kinda of hard for me to programmed to be honest about it. I do not have no problems programming radio shack or whistlers digital scanners
+Dwight Howard Programming is similar between these brands but like everything, there is a slight learning curve. I definitely recommend purchasing 3rd party software or having it preprogrammed, manually programming this radio can be difficult.
well I own a radio shack pro-197 and pro106 digital scanners both I programmed them by hand from the manual[ from the book]. I don't even have to look at the manual now when I programmed other people pro197 and 106. but I have lots of time on my hand,and I just thought if I purchase the bcd996p2, I will be able to figure it out with the manual. I have a scanner buddy who programmed my 106 with software,but I didn't like the outcome,and I went back and programmed my pro-106 by hand. also I own a bc340crs radioclock analog scanner. I been in the scanner hobby now about 15or16 yrs. what does that alert button means that is above the volume nobb on this bcd996p2?
How do I get a hold of you guys so that I can have my scanner updated and set frequencies is there anyway I can get a hold of you guys so that I can get this scanner to you
I wish you would show a tutorial how to program frequencies manually. And set the squelch type for digital transmissions.
If they did that, then nobody would pay them to program it.
@@JoeR203 I was lucky. I paid for a 3 month membership to a radio reference site and was able to program my scanner from the computer. Still working.
I know this post is old but will this scanner be good for me here in Sacramento ca?
How do you scan search for channels in DMR?
How would I program this system with a DE or decimal format in a p25 phase 2 system or using the HEX system and also how would I set the fire tone out feature

I have a BCT15X can you program my scanner?
Is your unit set up as a base? What ac adapter can I use on the gps kit, to set my unit up as a base? All the accessories are for a mobile.
The BC-SGPS uses a Cigarette lighter adapter for power. The GPS is designed for mobile use so it doesn't offer much benefit to be used in at home.
I saw something on the Uniden website about what they call 'Fire Tone out.' What exactly does that mean??
it could mean the Motorola fire tones that can come across when scanning.
How can I get my bcb 962 scanner up date
thank you very much, thinking of buying one, being a newbie looking at the uniden SD200, big difference in price does the 996p2 do trucking?
Just sent mine in for programming into Bearcat Warehouse. Looking forward to getting it back and programmed and then setting up the GPS.
How much does it cost for programming?
What's the difference between this and 996T or XT?
I own such a device. How can I get the software for this device to update it?
Will this pick up MOTOTRBO systems too?
@Matt Jackson Yes, You can purchase a DMR upgrade to enable that feature.
@@Bearcatwarehouse could I upgrade the 996P2 to DMR from Europe?
Great video! Under what circumstances will the 996 lose its programming, requiring it to be re-programmed? Thanks in advance for your time!!
@addie750 You would have to manually erase the programming to remove it.
@@Bearcatwarehouse Cool, I guess the scanner has internal memory, which retains the programming. Thanks for the prompt reply to my inquiry! 😁👍🏻
Hi Paul when I do the firmwear
HI PAUL. WHEN I DO THE UPDATE ON THE FIRMWARE BCD996p2 do I have to reprogram all my channels again thanks
@Ray Rowan no, the programming wouldn't be affected.
I bet that updated firmware makes the scanner skip over encrypted signals. What a shame we cant even listen to the signals we aren't allowed to hear
I sure hope you can help me , a year ago i bought a bct-15x which i had
