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.

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;
- Non-XT Scanners
- Easier to Read BCD996T/UBC996T Manual
- Easier To Read BCT15 Manual
- Easier to Read BR330T Manual
- Easier To Read BCD396T/UBCD396T Manual
- Easier to Read BC246T Manual
- Easier to Read (U)SC230 Manual
- Easier to Read UBC3500XLT Manual
- Easier to Read UBC800XLT Manual
- XT scanners
- Easier to Read BC346XT Manual
- Easier to Read BCD396XT Manual
