Re: APCO Channels

Software and the PC to BC250 cable is the same as used with the new BCD396T.  Trying to program the BCD250 or BCD396T manually is almost mission impossible.  Uniden's help advice was basically read the 150 page owners manual.  I repleced my BC250 with the BCD396T and had it almost a month before I got it working right as a digital trunking scanner.  And this only by using the PC to program.  I wanted to go to only one agency.  I now can turn scanner on and the only agency I am interested in comes up.  I can rotate the scroll knob to select the different talk groups.

  Subject: [UnidenBC250D] APCO Channels


  I have owned my BC250 with APCO card since it came out. I am not a copmplete idiot although I occaisionally play one in real life. My digital card shows up on turning the scanner on but I can't seem to tune any of the local, Westerly RI, channels. The card is enabled and the frequencies appear to be loaded correctly. Nothing. If there is anyone out there who knows how to program this thing PLEASE HELP. Should I be programing it with my PC and is the software and cable still available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I bought the thing at Lentini's in Newington CT and several times have thought of bringing it to them but moved to RI making that difficult. Thanks in advance.

  P.S. Who wrote the manual for this, Foster Brooks?
