Re: APCO Channels

Thanks for the information. That makes getting the cable potentially  easier. 
I have been reading my BC manual with no success as per APCO channels.  As I 
said earlier I am going to get the software and should be running as soon  as 
I either find the cable or buy a new one. Has anyone had any luck with a  
serial to USB converter to use the scanner with a laptop that has no serial  port? 
Scanner Masters site says their software does not support USB. Thanks,  Brian

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?
