I was mistaken on my previous post but here is the situation: My trunking no longer works on my BCD996T Uniden police scanner. I was using bctool online with my old desk top (windows 98) to delete the memory since I was planning on importing frequencies and IDs but I got a screen about a bug that prevented me from importing. I used my brand new desk top and got the same bug message. I went to proscan and was able to import frequencies and IDs smoothly but the trunking did not work yet the Conventional frequencies work fine. I tried erasing the memory again and only having the original preprogrammed info back into the scanner(depressing keys 2,9,hold and turn unit on at the same time) and then manually imported IDs and frequencies and the trunking stilll would not work. The scanner has the original firmware 1.03.11 and it is about 2 years old.
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!
