Re: BCI25D Accessory Digital Card. BAUD RATE QUESTION 3,600 vs. 9600

Something else to consider is that the 250D is not upgradable via
Uniden when the re-banding project is implemented over the next couple of
years. The 296D will be software upgradable via Uniden for the re-banding
but the 250D will not per Uniden.

If you have come here to find out about the 250D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-250D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-250D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
