Programming General Settings 61 Programming Your Scanner Your BCD996T comes preprogrammed with over 500 state and local agencies, both analog and digital, selected from the most populous areas in the US. This should let you get started quickly to enjoy your new scanner. However, to get the most enjoyment from your scanner (especially if you do not live near one of these counties), you must customize the programming for your area. To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate to the system setting you want to change. This section assumes you are programming a new system. Programming radio systems is completed in two major steps. Program the system into your scanner according to the plan you prepared in Step 1. To make this easier, planning worksheets are available as a download for each system type from the Uniden America Corporation website [www. uniden. com]. General Notes You can store up to 6000 channels in up to 500 systems. Each trunking system can have up to 256 sites and up to 250 trunked channels (TGID). Each conventional system can have up to 1000 channels. Your scanner can have up to a total of 1000 sites. Each system can have up to 20 channel groups. The following table provides you the information to successfully perform various steps connected with programming each of the systems: Conventional, Motorola, EDACS, and LTR. Some operations are common to all of the systems while some are specific to a given system. Use the following table to quickly locate the step you want or need to perform (where required), the reference page for that step, and to which system or systems it applies. 62 System Settings System Settings Edit Name Edit Sys Option Edit Site Edit Group Copy System Delete System MOTOROLA CNV TYPE I P25 / TYPE II EDACS Wide /Narrow SCAT LTR See Pages P. 76 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · System Options System Option Settings Set Quick Key Set Startup Key Set Lockout Set Hold Time ID Scan/Search Set Delay Time Set Data Skip Set LocationInfo Edit Fleet Map Set Status Bit Set End Code MOTOROLA CNV TYPE I P25/ TYPE II EDACS WIDE/ NARROW SCAT LTR See Pages P. 70 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · P. 72 Programming Your Scanner 63 System Option Settings Set I-Call Emergency Alert EDCS ID Format Set Record Rvw ID:Srch L/O Clr All L/O IDs Adjust P25 Level MOTOROLA CNV TYPE I P25/ TYPE II EDACS WIDE/ NARROW SCAT LTR See Pages P. 73 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · P. 75 · 64 Site Settings Site Setting MOTOROLA TYPE I 800MHz Standard 800MHz Splinter P25 MOTOROLA P25/TYPE II 800MHz Standard 800MHz Splinter 900MHz Band VHF Band UHF Band EDACS WIDE NARROW SCAT L T R Edit Name Set Quick Key Set Startup Key Set Frequencies Set Modulation Set Attenuator Set Lockout Set Hold Time Edit Band Plan Set C-Ch Only Set LocationInfo Adjust P25 Level Delete Site New Site · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Programming Your Scanner 65 Channel Settings Channel Setting Edit Name Edit Frequency Edit TGID Set Audio Type Set Modulation Set Attenuator Set Priority Set Alert Set Record Set Lockout Copy Channel Delete Channel New Channel CNV MOT TYPE I MOT TYPE II/P25 EDACS LTR · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Programming Conventional Systems [MENU] Program System F New System F Conventional F Confirm?Yes="E" / No=".
