This is a very helpful video. I'm getting an AT125 for Railroad monitoring, this will greatly speed the programming. Thanks from Tampa!

Just received my Uniden BCT-15X and was a bit concerned after reading some articles on the scanner. I decided to give Freescan a go and thanks to your easy to follow video have managed to program 11 frequencies for my local airport MAN Manchester UK in the 30 mins of switching it on. The most difficult part was downloading the drivers required for Freescan to talk to the scanner ! Many thanks once again. Phil

Watched this your video, then happened to talk to a local firefighter who has his file shared in freescan I was loaded in no time. Great video!

Thank You! You helped a complete novice program a scanner and it works great!

Bro I love this video, I bought a 996p2 because of you, learned to program it like a pro, best quality in sound out of any Uniden product!!

Ms Martin thank you for your help. I did find the driver at scanner Master and it worked thanks again.

A very nice, complete & understandable Video. Thanks for your work.

Brilliant , clear explanation, you saved me from using the scanner as a doorstop lol many thanks from England.

After looking at about every forum possible this video was the one that set me straight for programming my BCT 15X. I downloaded the Freescan software, sorted out which port the USB cable used and then it was plain sailing. So much easier than stabbing buttons on the scanner. I would recommend having a look at the video, it worked for me.

Thanks so much!!! I was so lost!

Hello friend, truebloodnutt here again, Thank you very much for the video using the freescan software. Unfortunately I returned my BCD436HP scanner to scanner master, for the main reason the digital voice decoding was horrible in my area. I am in a simulcast radio system area. I am currently awaiting the arrival of the BCD396XT scanner. Which will work much better in my area. The digital voice decoding on the 396XT is much better in my area. Thanks again brother.

Thank you very much for your help

thanks for all information

Thanks brother!

This has been a massive help to me. Thank you. I'm still having a bit of trouble understanding the operation of quick keys. I think I've got the assigning QKs but the actual use of them. That and once I have my scanner all programmed, how to get to a particular channel fast. I mostly use conventional. Do you cover that in a video or if not, point me in the right direction? I'm using a BC346XT

By the way, thanks for your help

Thanks for the video. I’m new to Unidens I’ve always been RadioShack or GRE user. May I know What are the quick keys for? Thanks!

Where do I find the FreeScan download on Radio Reference? I am missing something, I can not locate it. Thanks.

I used to write technical manuals for the USAF, ITT Defense Communications. If a soldiers' life depended upon making this scanner operational out in the field with the currently supplied manual, he would be killed. KM7KK

That tone setting does that stop that little noise click at the end of a transmission?? Not sure if it's the DPL or something like that?

Can you please advise where can I obtain a clean version of Freescan software. I am new to using my new Uniden BCD325P2. Thanks.

I am trying to program the Wings over Houston Airshow into my scanner...how can i locate the NAC code?

I download my sites and groups/ID’s for the departments i want to listen too but I also receive a lot of traffic from other departments I don want to hear. I have a Uniden 396xt. Is there a way to only select the freq. you want other than doing a temporary L/Ø ? Once I turn the scanner off and on they al come back .

Thanks for the video!!! -WA8LIV

Great video you have here, gave me a good idea on how to get started, a lot different than my old scanner. Do you have more videos based around the Uniden BCD396XT?

JUST GOT IT. ALSO HAVE BCD396T FIRST MODEL AND WITH THAT I HAVE THE USAD BEARCAT SOFTWARE, WHICH HAS ONLINE CONTROL. A VIRTUAL SCANNER. I WAN'T TO KNOW IF THEIR IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE BCD436 HP ?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will it work after you program them. I have a Uniden BCD396XT

Having some issues with City of Va Beach, I imported and downloaded to my 396XT and only added the Fire & EMS TG's. All that comes up is the Primary CHannel and sounds like school busses. Any clue as to why Im not recieveing Fire and EMS

weird issue I has with the freescan. Maybe it just wont adjust to resolution right. but i can see all the window except everything to the righr side of the GPS check box. Tho I do use a old computer with serial port.

hi there thanks for the video i set a system about 8 weeks ago and was working fine then the other night i tried to use the scanner and the system I created started saying nothing to scan so I checked that everything was alright and it was but still did not work so I tried to reload the system with freescan and I still get nothing to scan I did I factory reset and still having the same problem can you help

can I use this software on a BC75XLT scanner?

hello k4ds I had added my railroad channels to the unit when I received it with freescan it worked great. I got in my car annd bumped it and like lost its channels and I couldnt get it working. I came home used the remove all programs and install my groups. they went in fine but now the scanner is super quiet no chatter from the railroads like it picked up when I first installed my channels. what did I do wrong why is it not picking up like it was help me.

Great video. My question is on the P25 where do you get the NAC code?

I bought a used BCD996T, It has programs and freq. that I want to delete ans start over. Would I click :Erase all systems and settings" ??? then once that is done, unclick erase all, then continue with adding my new freq. ???? Thank you

is the bcd996p2 equivalent to the bcd539hp and is their an easy software to program it

how do I set my bct15x to scan programmed Channels ?

If you put the frequency in the scanner, is there an auto search whether it’s p25 or other ?

Does this replace Bearcats software? Is there a way to look up the info and copy it to the program. Sorry I am lost i have sds200. A man set up for me. The local E911 director. But I want to change a lot. I sure want to get it correct?

do I even need to click on digital or analog when I am about to download each chan

Do you know of a company that I can send my scanner to have have them program the county I live in. Thanks

What are the quick keys for?

Do you know where I can get FreeScan software? Their site is no longer available.

Tried this using a BCD992P? Computer doesn't even recognize the cable when plugged in?

NAC code how do you know what # to put there. I have a "hex#" 46f.

I did what you did, I Thought. The [cnv] massillon Local (1), !_[grp] emt fire [0] then I have 9 names and freq, tone code on 7 out of 9, clicked on to download, got errors, but have massillon local and emt fire along with the 9 names loaded in scanner, it states "Scan Mode, Nothing to scan" on bottom of screen it has "SO 1- - - - - - - -" "GRP- - - - - - - - -" Are the list suppose to have channels or is that set up by the scanner? Thanks, any help??? MikieB

Hello, I need someone to help me, I programmed my Uniden BCD396XT using freescan software before and didn't have any problems I was able to listen everything but then I reprogrammed it and added extra Systems, sites and groups and now it scans but it doesn't pick up any signal I don't hear anything at all, I even did a factory reset and reprogrammed it again and still doesn't pick up any signal, I tried the weather scan and it does work I can listen to that so it isn't the antenna or speaker, I watched several videos on KZfaq and did the programming exactly the same way and still nothing, the first time I programmed it 2 years ago when I bought it I didn't have this problem I successfully programmed it, Io also tried to program my mobile scanner BCD996T and same problem it scans but no signal, iit seems to me that maybe there is a problem with freescan software? Please help!

i have the uniden bcd325p2 I had a friend program it but I am only picking up the fire department. the police department here used p25 phase 2 scanner do I have to put it under that on the scanner or will the scanner just pick that up? I am not good at this tec. stuff so need all the help I can get. I have freescan download already.

Can i use this software on my EU (European) Uniden ubc125XLT ?

what is the website link for this program ?

Oh and Ez Grab is great for adding MilAir

Thank you for making these videos but I am still confused about how to set up trunking systems, sites, and groups and organizing frequencies. For the system name, should I put the county name or the actual system name? For example my county is Conta Costa County and we have the East Bay Regional Communications System (EBRCS). I’d like to be organized either by county then city or by cities. How would I go about this? Also can you explain the quick keys?

What if you don’t know tone or NAC codes? Where can you find it

Conventional is easy to program. I think most people who own Uniden scanners know how. I think there is more need now for digital programming p25. But I personally haven't found a decent straight to the point program video. Do you have any? Thank You.

Just purchased the BCD325P2 and no matter what I do it says there is no comport. I used freescan but still same problem. Followed the video you have and still no luck, any thing you can add would be very helpful. WA!-ZOK Walton County Fl Gil

I cant find where Alpha Tagging is on Freescan. I have a 996XT and want to add UID"s to it. Thanks. God Bless.

IS THERE A WAY U CAN ADD FREQUNCIES TO MY UNIDEN BCD436HP I USE SENTINEL BUT I WOULD LIKE TO USE DIFFERENT FREQ FROM A SITE FROM THE INTERNET AND PUT UNTO MY SCANNER ON SENTINEL THANK U

Getting freescan can't access com 1 check settings, help what settings.

I was able to down load the software on the Uniden home patrol to my computer and tweek it then send it to the scanner. Does the BCD 996XT have the same capabilities ?

Thank you! This made life so much easier. Now that I have my BC346XT programmed can you tell me how I can go direct to a specific channel? 73 N2BUF

Do you have the bcd996t digital I like know how to program my county witch is Morgan county wv n p25 phase one uhf

I cant find FreeScan online ! Their website is gone !!!!! I wonder what happened to it !?

Are you suppose to hookup your Scanner to this program/computer?

how do I find a nac code

must watch it again sometime, i fell asleep/

Are you in the NW Florida area?

How do I get the Freescan software?

I just got a BCD966p2 scanner, I loaded all the info into the Freescan program and saved it to a file. Now can I upload that file to the scanner using the programming cable from my computer to the scanner ?? my county is all P25 phase 1&2 I need some help

Uniden bcd396xt, frequencies are you indicate me belong to another city, I found a pair of frequencies where I hear the central but not listen to the police car and handys, There is two frecuencies that I can hear in the scanner P25 appears on the screen and others that I hear a noise indicating a NAC code usually is 1A0.

Hi Doug, Can you please list your videos from the very beginning. Thanks, AD6ME David

Any idea where I can get scan free software ? It seems to want to put a virus on my computer.

Great program do have a link to the software not able to find it google search

You've used both the sentinal software, and this software for your BCD 436HP? Or is this for another radio? Right now, I am just using the database for programming my radio. But there are some things I want to monitor that aren't in the database. 1. UHF military aviation. 2. Common federal government. 3. U.S secret service.Side note. I love how the radio mutes encrypted traffic!

have a bearcat bcd996xt how do i get it to run thru just freqencies that i have found on my own and nothing else my pro 95 will do it my brain is on fire trying to understand

how can i set a dpl tone

My answer is how program the scanner with the frecuencies that i found, they have a logical secuence or not.

does the uniden bcd436hp scanner work in austraila

Hey there. What is going on? Why do Uniden not talk much at all about the BCD 396XT. Did they stop making the hard to program thing. I have a BCD 396 XT never used and it is collecting dust, As there are no shops in my area (Chapel Hill, NC) that program these things. For two years I have been stuck with this piece of junk.That should have never been made. Good Radio Okay, just hard to program it. Do anyone know a secret to Program them?

Byron- me too buddy, I'm still trying to work on the goddamn thing to program my local police station. I know their numbers. But I don't know how to get it programmed into my scanner and it still sitting there wasting money since I bought it. I mean I hear some stations conversations and stuff like that but not my local! 😢 I wish I knew of a local place I can take it to get them to show me how to program it. The program is on my laptop.

Does freescan work with BCD325P2?

Help the program hasks the kind of channel how do I find out if I don't hnow phase 1. Ect. Have a lotcto learn but am starting over. Bcd 436hp. With others help and advise I will get the thing all set up. On to lock out and priority and then the local fire dept tone outs. And I will be so happy. These videos are so helpfull

sorry! comment below should read BCD996 not 992.

Mmm ok, sorry for so many questions but here Nobody help, is there any way to know the order of frequencies.

How can i get free scan

Can you program digital frequency from fire department on it

Just bought the BCD996P2 I wonder if this Free Scan Is Going to be Compatible With this? Anyone have any ideas?

Will freescan set up GPS ?

Trying to find a webpage other than the one you posted for someone else and where to download software for my UNIDENSR30C! Not Really all that clear where to go to for this program to download at sixpotssoftware.com. Need your help! Thanks

how i can create a p25 digital group, i'm from chile and the police here (carabineros) use this sistem, i haven´t much help because find the frecuencies is to hard, if you can help on any way i'll be very grateful.

What is what is it

How about a link for "free scann software"?

Not sure wtf I'm doing wrong, but I keep getting some Com1 bullshit, about to put the scanner through my screen its pissing me off.

You do not have to assign a Quick Key. It will work just the same.

Please! Someone please explain how to program my BCD396XT!! :( Spent so muchmoney on it & can't even use it. 😤

I apologize for my English is not so good, here we speak Spanish

Where id the link to download freescan???

what a holy hell pain in the ass

Apco 25

Bctool+ is better
