You Should Make A Tutorial On Thee RadioShack pro 106.. Cuz Your Cam Is Clear.. I Just Got My pro 106, But Itz Really Hard 2 Program.. Not Like The PRO 96.. I Hate The Fact That I Cant Choose The Channel I Wish To Program.. Dont Let Me Jump To Channel 11 For EXAMPLE To Channel 111 🙁 Cant Get My LAPD FREQUENCIES RUNNING RIGHT 🙁
I don’t turn on the OPP talkgroups much. I find listening to traffic stop after traffic stop annoying. I monitor all MOH/EMS hospital patching and Fire as well as FRS in service search. You can pick up some interesting conversations on FRS as well. I had an awesome time scanning the aircraft at the CIA or Canadian International Airshow this fall. I appreciate how most of the GTA is analog though and non encrypted unlike the OPP which is P25…
Oh and also I set system hold on conventional for 1 second and 2 seconds on trunked groups or sites and a delay of 5-10 seconds per system. Also when programming with internet or computer interface the default hold time is zero seconds so the sites never have a chance to “lock on” and no one wants to miss the next transmission so delay time of at least 5 seconds is ideal… HAPPY SCANNING!!! 🙂
makes 2 of us with the Uniden BC95XLT I just bought the Diamond RH77CA antenna for it a couple of weeks ago and I noticed a big difference and now I am picking up more frequencies and some of the other ones I picked that were kinda fuzzy come in crystal clear now. I love that scanner.
what would i need in my car, im planning to break a record from Miami to L.a in 28 hours and i need a system to hear if any cops are up my ass while im on the way
Very nice scanner collection. I have a PSR-600, and I’m gonna pick up a BCD996xt within the next 6-months to go with it. I love the display on the 996 vs. my PSR-600. Although my PSR-600 works wonderfully, I’d like to have a 996xt just for true comparison (for my own use). Either way I’ll keep both scanners though 🙂
Finally bought my 996xt and boy do I love it. Excellent quality but being used to a PSR-600 it’s taking a little time to keep the two brands separated in my mind when learning the Uniden 🙂
This is one unbelievable scanner though (996xt). However, if you are not familiar with trunking concepts this could be a major FUBAR purchase. I can see where a lot of folks would be inclined to just give up, sell/return it, and buy the Home Patrol model for it’s simplicity.
Hi, I have a few questions for the bcd996t. First off, where does the volume come out? Can you place the scanner on a desktop without that bracket underneath it? Also, how good is the antenna that it comes with? Would you recommend an external one?
Thanks.
lol yea nice paper weight eh

my BC95XLT radio does the job but the thing is i don’t ever hear ham radio on it wonder why
holy *****
what does “trunked” mean? DO those have to be programmed in differently?
you can do it by hand but a computer is far better to program
hey, r you familiar with the Belgian “ASTRID” system? Do you know a way to listen those channels? Pleas respond. thx

Love this thing though 🙂
