Is there a free programming software for the 796D that can be used with radio reference? I am currently getting ready to do a huge reprogram of my scanner and would rather not pay for a program I will

The 780's were shocking for their display contrast and there was a mod for replacing a resistor which helped a lot, not sure if the circuitry is the same with the 796 but if you have no alternative it

Hi All, Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for the Display Contrast? My most favored 796 has become increasingly unreadable, especially in any bright light. I'm not speaking about the

Lots of software posibilities <http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Uniden_Legacy_Software_Support>

Oh yes! Do a search on Butel software. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

so is there any easier way to program my bc296d other than what the manual says?

It sure had some funny limitations and i remember not being able to use it in any useful manner. If you had room you could do some double entries (I think) but there are so many TG's in our system

Actually upon another read I believe I was wrong about the "you can have more than one"priority TG. You can only have one channel in each bank or one TG in each. I think you can still have two of the

If I recall correctly, Priority TG never worked right anyway. ML

"When Priority Scan is turned on, the scanner checks the conventional priority channels in the unlocked banks every 2 seconds or the priority ID's in trunked systems every 4 seconds between

I've added priority to a couple of talk groups but I don't know how to remove the priority. I think I'm missing something? Thanks, Jason

Any luck yet? Sent from my HTC Tilt™ 2, a Windows® Satellite phone

I would be totally interested in this trade if you have not heard from anyone yet. I am on vacation at the moment but will be back next week and we can exchange information. Let me

I have three of these radios. All of the displays work fine. You may have a cold or loose solder joint on the display connectors. I see you are a ham radio operator. If you have a soldering

Hi Al, Thanks for that however that was the first place I went with no joy... The issue is with the contrast or darkness of the image or segments within the display, the backlight functions

Don't know if you have the BC796D manual, or not. Check page 22 of the

Hi to the group, My trusty 796d is beginning to show it's age I fear. The display contrast has reduced to such a degree that it is almost unreadable with any ambient light showing on it. My question

First, what kind of cable are you using? It sounds like it's taking out components in your scanner! Joe M. Moondog16 wrote:

Anyone had this problem? BC796D won't connect to computer. It was repaired by Uniden for the same problem two years ago. No details other than they replaced IC8. I wanted to reprogram the scanner from
