v1.04.00

This update makes the following changes to your BCD996XT scanner: 

1. Add support for storing Unit IDs in channels with alpha tags. 

2. Fixed a problem where corrupted memory caused by a bad PC programming upload would make the scanner lock up on the copyright screen. 

3. Save Hold status immediately instead of at power-down. 

4. Add ATT indication in Close Call Only mode 

5. Fixed a bug that could cause APCO P25 decoding to stop in some conditions. 

Using the Unit ID Feature

The Unit ID (UID) feature lets you see the unit ID of the radio currently transmitting on Motorola, EDACS, and APCO P25 systems. To see the Unit ID, you need to first turn on the global Unit ID option in the Settings menu. 

1. Press MENU. 

2. Scroll to SETTINGS and press E/yes. 

3. Scroll to Disp. Unit ID and press E/yes. 

4. Scroll to On and press E/yes. 

When turned on, in Display Modes 1 and 2 the scanner will alternate the current channel information and the Unit ID information in Line 2 of the display. In Display Mode 3, the scanner will display the Unit ID information on Line 3 of the display.

 If you program a Unit ID into a channel, you can assign an Alpha to the Unit ID. You program a Unit ID just like an iCall ID (press ./no then the Unit ID).

Notes: 

� In some cases where you catch a transmission already in progress you will not see the Unit ID.

� In some cases where a second party responds to a transmission before the channel is released, you will not see the second party's Unit ID and will continue to see the first party's Unit ID.

V1.06.00 

What is Changed by This Update? 

This update improves decoding on many P25 systems. For cases where the

default settings are not optimal, the update also adds a manual setting that

allows you to adjust the decode threshold.

To adjust the decode threshold, start with the scanner powered off. Then, follow these steps:

1. While holding down the HOLD button, power on the scanner. 

2. Access the hidden P25 Adjust Mode menu by MENU --> Settings --> P25 Adjust Mode.

3. Set the mode to 11, which is the optimal setting for most P25 systems. 

4. If you have previously adjusted the P25 Adjust Level, reset it to a value of 50 by MENU --> Settings --> P25 Adjust Level.
