BCD396T questions 12/26/2005
Dear "Matt"
I am in a similar situation trying to get a new BCD396T up to speed. Have no idea where you are located nor what you are wishing the receiver to do. My goal is to get the radio to work with the Michigan APCO 25 system on 800 MHz, and that is all that I have worked on. So far, I have not found much on the WEB that is of actual use. As was pointed out to me here, a set of forums exists off of the radioreference.com site. Some information of interest to me is available there. Let us know if you find something of value. It might also help to describe your goals for the radio and generally where you are located. Such information might prompt someone to help with your goals. Regards, Mac -- J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A. Home: "Matt" wrote in message ... Having just purchased a 396 two days ago I was a little surprised at how unfriendly the Uniden manual is to use. As a long term scanner user despite not having played with any of the newer trunk capable scanners, I didn't expect to find it all that hard to pick it up and be able to know how to use it without to much of a problem. Well talk about a shock to the system whenI turned it on - only slowly finding out how to use it properly after a couple of days of on and off playing with it. I remember that there is supposed to be an easier to understand manual on the net somewhere (not uniden written) - can anyone help me out with where I can find it as well as some hints for the brain dead (like myself at the moment) to get the best out of the radio?

Regards, Mac Hi Mac - well locality wise I am a fair way away from you - Australia, so will be reasonably difficult for either of us to monitor the same signals with the 396. We have only just had the 396T (an Australian version) released here about a week ago (although there are probably a number of others who have imported US versions prior to the release of our version), so there hasn't been (to my knowledge) too much work done on the construction of profiles or similar (anyone in Aust - preferably the Melboure or Darwin area - playing with the 396, please drop me a line). What I mainly wanted the 396 was to listen to some of the police comms - unfortunately Melbourne (AS) is encrypted digital, so no go there, but I still travel enough that I may be able to use it for this purpose. Additionally I also want it for the trunking capability - haven't played with this field previously, so quite concious of being a particularly raw newbie there. Anyway, time to get back to the manual and try and make some sense out of it. Matt |
