This article is for documenting NXDN tips for the BCD436HP, BCD536HP, SDS100 and SDS200 Uniden scanners. They all share the same version of Sentinel. ARC-536, ProScan and Sentinel tips are also welcome here.
Contents
Check / Update Your Firmware
- How do I check what version firmware I have in my scanner?
- Go to Menu / Settings then E / Yes
- Select See Scanner Info
- How Can I Add NXDN to my scanner?
- Go to my.uniden.com and purchase a key
- How do I update my firmware once I've purchased the key?
- See Sentinel Menus and Toolbars in the Easier to Read manual. Use the Update Menu
- See the Update Firmware section of the 436 / 536 Easier to Read manual.
- For the SDS100 / SDS200, select Menu / Settings / E/Yes. Then select Upgrade
- NXDN Decoding started with what version firmware?
- Version 1.14.00 had this capability but there have been some revisions since. Note that firmware fixes always include prior updates as well.
- Where can I go with questions / problems with the upgrade?
- Its always best to have the most current firmware. If you have questions, please post in the Uniden Tech Support Forum
- Thanks Easier to Read Manual for some of this
Programming with Software
- FreeScan does not support programming the HP series of scanners, nor does it support NXDN programming. Use Sentinel, ProScan or ARC-536 for this
General / How To
- How do I Program a NXDN Single Frequency vs. a NXDN Conventional Channel?
- How can I calculate the LCN for a given frequency, or the frequency for a given LCN for a UHF NEXEDGE system?
- General tips
- Some NXDN Trunked Systems requires at least one LCN to track properly. Use LCN Finder to find them
- Some systems use Direct Frequency Assignment, similar to that used in a P25 system. To track this properly, the CH IDs in the RRDB are all set to zero.
- NXDN Freq Programming Help Thread
- If you discover a new NXDN System, you will need a dummy system to use Analyze / LCN Finder
- If you are running in ID Search mode, you will need a dummy department if you wish to store it
- Discovery does need a dummy department
- See the SDS200 Proscan NXDN Programming Question Thread
