Welcome to the Uniden DMA FAQ; here we'll start from scratch, and take you through some of the most basic of questions, and (in many cases) what things mean and how to find information. A word of explanation; if a word or phrase appears in blue and/or underlined, then it's a link; clicking it should take you to another article in our wiki, another part of our website or perhaps a different website.

- What adjustments are available in the digital trunktrackers?
PCs and Software Topics
- Id like to hook up my PC and program/monitor using software. What do I need to consider?
- Are there any freeware programs with better functionality than the UASD?

- Please see the Software Support for Uniden Rebanding article for the correct data to enter in the tables and software examples
The Manuals Are Too Confusing. Anyone have anything that's easier to read?
Uniden did a fine job designing these radios. Too bad one cannot say the same about their manuals. Fortunately, there is another resource - loosely referred to as the 'Easier to Read' series, they have been generally lauded as being much more readable and understandable. As of this writing, the following members are available;
