follow the steps to transfer the data from the Radio Reference sheets to the appropriate work sheet, finally programming the data into the scanner. You can visit one of the Radio Reference forums and potentially learn of someone in your immediate area who has programmed the same model scanner in your area.
When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops on that frequency as long as the transmission lasts. If you think the frequency is interesting, you can program it into the scanner’s memory. If not, you can continue to search. What is CTCSS/DCS? Your scanner can monitor systems using a Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) system, which allow squelch to open only when the tone you have programmed with a specific frequency is received along with a transmission.
What is Trunk Tracking? Your BCD996T is designed to track the following types of trunking systems. • Motorola Astro 25 (APCO 25) trunking systems. • Motorola Type I, Type II, Type IIi hybrid, SMARTNET, and PRIVACYPLUS analog trunking systems, which are extensively used in 800 MHz communication systems.
typically takes place in about a second...the person transmitting hears a beep from their radio when the channel is assigned and then it is OK to start talking. The systems in use are: Motorola Type I – the radios send the radio ID, the fleet and subfleet talk group ID to the control channel each time they transmit. To program a Type I system, you need to know the system’s fleet map. The most common fleet maps are included in the Reference section in this manual.
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the LTR mode, it first decodes the LTR data included with the transmission. In the ID search mode, the scanner stops on the transmission and displays the talk group ID on the display. In the ID scan mode, the scanner only stops on the transmission if the LTR data matches a talk group ID that you have stored in the talk group ID list and have not locked out. LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each radio has a unique user ID.

4. Press [L/O] to temporarily lock or unlock the current the channel. Double-tap L/O to permanently lockout the current channel. ID Scan/ID Search Mode While you are scanning a trunked system, the scanner can be in either ID Scan or ID Search mode: • ID Scan – the scanner only stops on talk group ID’s (TGID) that you have programmed into the system that are unlocked. • ID Search – the scanner stops on any unlocked talk group that becomes active.
To get a visual indication of the activity on trunking systems, press [HOLD/RESUME] to hold on any channel. Then tap the Scroll Control and then press [.No] The scanner replaces the third line on the display with trunking activity indicators. When the scanner is monitoring on EDACS or Motorola system, the activity indicators will show which system frequencies have activity. Note: for Motorola systems you must program all system frequencies (control and voice frequencies) for this feature to work.
Allow the scanner to monitor channel activity for several minutes. The error rate should drop for each transmission and the threshold levels should automatically adjust to a more optimal setting. Then, once the threshold level settles to a stable setting, write down these values. This is the system's optimum decode threshold. Rotate the Scroll Control to set the AUTO decode threshold start level to a setting that most closely matches the system's optimum decode threshold.
When you stop at the desired level, the scanner remembers your setting the next time you turn on the scanner. You can also set the backlight using the menu. Setting the Dimmer If you connect the orange wire to a wire in your car that changes state when you turn on the headlights, the scanner can automatically dim the display when you turn on the headlights.

Note that the back port is male.
You can connect your scanner, by means of the supplied cable, to a personal computer to download data from the computer to the memory of the scanner. Before you proceed, you must first set the scanner’s communications speed as described in the previous section. [illus of Computer and Scanner and cable] Important: Start with a high baud rate setting. If, during transfer, you get an error message, reduce the setting and start again until you get reliable, complete transfer of data.
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.

In order for trunk tracking to work properly, you have to specify the correct system type when you create the system. Here are some tips for selecting the correct type: Use online resources, such as the www.radioreference.com database, to identify the system type. Even though a system has digital channels, it is not necessarily a P25 system. To be P25, the system type must be described as Project 25 (there are many Motorola 800 Standard systems that have some digital channels.
• • • • To unlock the system at startup, press and hold the selected startup key while you turn on the scanner. The system Quick Key is also enabled. If you press a different key at startup, the system is locked out. If you do not assign the system a startup key, the system is not affected by any key press during startup.

Important: Deleted systems cannot be restored. You must re-enter them. Programming Sites MESL This section covers settings that apply to trunked radio site. You must program at least one site for each trunked radio system. When you program multiple sites, all sites share the same channel groups and channels within the system. Note: You can only program one site in an EDACS SCAT and LTR system. Setting the Site Name ME Each site name can be up to 16 characters. Abbreviate as necessary to fit.
• Access single-digit system/site Quick Keys by pressing the single digit on the keypad during scanning. Access two-digit system Quick Keys by pressing [.No] then both digits. • You can assign as many systems to the same quick key as you want. • To be scanned, a system’s Quick Key must be activated and the system must be unlocked.
Auto - the scanner uses the default modulation for the frequency band. FM - the scanner uses FM (frequency modulation) for the frequency band. NFM - the scanner uses narrowband FM for the frequency band. Note: The default setting is Auto. This setting controls the modulation method used for the frequency band. In most cases, if you leave this set to Auto, the scanner automatically selects the correct modulation type for the system you are programming.
• If the scanner cannot detect a control channel on an EDACS or Motorola system, it immediately moves to the next site or system. The scanner always scans LTR or SCAT systems for at least 1 second to check for current activity. • If you select 0 and the control channel is received, the scanner stays on the system for a minimal time (only long enough to check current system activity). • The default setting is 2 seconds for each system.
