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.
NOTE: We have separate FAQs for other Uniden products;
- For the Home Patrol scanners, see the Uniden Home Patrol FAQ
- For the BCD436HP and BCD536HP, see the BCD436HP and BCD536HP Scanner FAQ
DMA Scanner Topics and Terms
- What is Dynamic Memory Architecture?
- What are Uniden Scanners Systems, Sites and Groups and how do they relate to each other?
- How does Trunking work with these scanners?
- What is Multi Site Trunking?
- What is the Close Call feature?
- What is Digital End Code detection and why do I want to use it?
- How do I use the Fire Tone Out feature?
- What does Location Based Scanning do for me? How does it work (BCD996T, BCT15, XT and P2 Scanners)?
General Categories
- For the following issues, please see our DMA Scanners and Software article
- Connecting the scanner to the PC
- Programming questions
- Software packages
- For firmware updates and Rebanding please see the Updating the Firmware in Uniden DMA Scanners article
- For audio issues (P25 decoding sounds bad, audio popping, etc.) please see the DMA P25 Decoding and Audio Issues article
- For display, miscellaneous function and battery issues, please see the DMA Scanner Functions and Batteries article
- For undocumented hacks, please see the DMA Scanner Hacks article
Additional Resources
Where can I get more information on the XT series of scanners?
- Go to the Scanner Guides on the Uniden TWiki site
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
- Easier to Read BCD996XT Manual
- Easier to Read BCT15-X Manual
- Printed manuals (via Scanner Master)
