Check Your Firmware Version
Required: The following firmware versions are required to copy DMR / MOTOTRBO. These are paid upgrades and applied (using the front port on the BCD996P2) using BC VUP3
- You can check your firmware version by selecting MENU --> Settings --> See Scanner Info
- Install BC VUP3.03
- Using the BC VUP Firmware Updater (3.03)
- BCD996P2: 1.08.01 or later
- BCD325P2: 1.08.01 or later
General and How Tos
- Why won't my scanner receive DMR on Slot 1 and or Slot 2
- Try reversing Slot numbers compared to System's Slot numbering.
- On DMR I can't see the Flavor Type, Color Code or Slot
- Display Mode 1 - will show the flavor (CON, CAP, XPT, etc).
- Display Mode 2 - will show the Color Code.
- Display Mode 3 - will show the slot.
- Can You Program a frequency on the 325P2 or 996P2 to show DMR information?
- Yes. When you program it, press Hold and set the mode to Digital`
- Press Func + 6. There are 3 modes; Mode 1 shows NXDN or DMR, Mode 2 shows CC or RAN, Mode 3 shows slot or UID
- Can the 325P2 and 996P2 search for a NAC (P25), Color Code (DMR), RAN or Area (NXDN)?
- Yes. Go to Srch/CloCall Opt, then Tone/Code Search, then NAC/CC/RAN/Area.
System Types
Capacity Max / Connect Plus Systems
- If the system is in the database as a Capacity Max or Connect Plus system, where can I find the color code, LCN and LSN?
- Go to the database listing
- Click on a site name under Name
- On the next form, go all the way to the bottom and look on the left for the Site Frequency Table. An example is shown on the right
Hytera Systems
- How Can I find the correct LCN to use in Uniden scanners for a Hytera System?
- If it's in the database, go to the frequency listing
- Click on a site name under Name
- On the next form, go all the way to the bottom and look on the left for the Site Frequency Table. An example is shown on the right
- Take the channel number, reduce it by 1 and divide the result by 2. This will be the LCN that Uniden scanners will recognize
Tier III (Trunking) Systems
- Is there a way to calculate the frequency from the LCN in a Tier III system?
- Yes, see the LCN to Frequency Calculator for Tier III Thread
- Note: This will also work with other DMR types that have a defined bandplan
