How to edit a frequency on a bcd996t

Have you done a reset just to make sure something such as static did not change the software in the microprocessor? Try that before you go to a repair shop.

it scan run all nuber threw all exct there 3 numbers wont scan it like there stuck they wont move at all then weather radio come on and it turend off

If you programmed the correct frequency, you should be getting reception. Check www.RadioReference.com to verify the frequency. Otherwise, you may be too far from the transmitter to receive signals. Try your scanner in other locations, check your antenna, and try receiving the PD on another scanner.

The MARCS - Ohio Multi-Agency Radio Communications system - is a Motorola Type II SmartZone Omnilink Trunking system that utilizes APCO-25 digital transmissions. Your BC145XL is not compatible with trunking or digital systems. In order to follow the MARCS you will need one of the following scanners:
GRE PSR-500, PSR-600
Radio Shack PRO-106, PRO-197, PRO-96, PRO-2096
Uniden BC250D, BC785D, BC296D, BC796D, BCD396T, BCD396T, BCD996T, BCD996XT, or the brand new HomePatrol-1

Hi Mike,

Try updating the firmware and see if this solves the problem. While I understand that it "worked before", some of the programming software has been updated to work only with the newer firmware. Also, the newer versions of programming software are required when importing systems directly from radio database sites (such as radioreference.com).

If this does not work, try to enter system data by hand rather than importing. If trunking works then, it sounds like a software problem with your programming software versus the radio itself.

Hope this helps!

I would try redownloading and reflashing the firmware on the scanner. If this doesn't work, you may want to try downgrading to the previous version of the firmware. If you are unable to redownload the firmware from Uniden, there is a Yahoogroup dedicated to this radio.

Also in the files section, there are older versions of the firmware.

Hope this helps!

There is no global clear/erase function on the BC350C, but programming a new frequency on a channel automatically deletes/erases the old frequency. To delete an inactive or troublesome frequency, program "000.0" in that channel. Doing so will deleted the previously programmed frequency and set the LOCKOUT to ON for that channel. For more information on deleting frequencies, see page 27 of your operating manual.

Need the manual? You can download it here:

thanks & Regards

http://www.police-scanner.info/police-scanner-frequencies.htm make sure you have the new freq.#.they changed a lot of the a few months ago.

Press hold. Go to the old frequencies. Press L/O twice. First press is a Temporary Lock Out and the second press is a permanent lock out. Then press hold again and enter the new freq and press "E yes" button to enter. To verify it is in your scanner, press HOLD/RESUME button, and you should see the new freq you just entered. Repeat all the above steps above for each new frequency.

I have uploaded a pdf format manual for you if you do not have this.

also I hear there is a cd that comes with it too this might be handy to locate as well.

if you are wanting police frequencies please do a search for them on google.com eg. "las vegas police frequencies" ect and you should find alot of codes for your area.
