How do i program a apco 25 freq into the scanner

Uniden BCD396XT Programming conventional channel

no it sure isn't

No. The PRO-97 can receive both standard and trunked analog signals, but it is not digital capable. Also, there are no add-on boards or circuit modifications that can enable digital operation.

Sorry, but there is no APCO-25 (digital) card available for your scanner. Receiving the digital signals will require a digital scanner. Check out the Uniden Bearcat BCD996XT.

Programming the BC248CLT is fairly simple, and detailed instructions can be found in the factory manual that you can download and print here:

What you can program and what you can hear will depend on your location. Many communities now use trunking systems and digital (APCO-25) systems, and your scanner is not compatible with either. For a comprehensive database of active frequencies and systems in your area, visit:

Your scanner is capable of receiving conventional, trunked, and digital (APCO-25) signals. As such, programming options are detailed and much too involved to be presented here. I suggest that you review the operating manual for your scanner (which can be downloaded/printed by following the link below), visit www.RadioReference.com for a comprehensive database of active frequencies and systems in your area, and consider joining a users group for the PRO-96. You can find groups on RadioReference, Yahoo, etc.

Unfortunately, no. The PRO-94 can monitor conventional or trunked analog systems, but it cannot process digital signals. To do that you'll need a scanner that specifies DIGITAL, APCO, APCO-25, or P25.

find out if what you are listening to has gone to digital... in particular apco 25. if so you'll need at the minimum a scanner that will work on apco 25. look at the specs on a pro-96 to see what you will need.

LA probably uses a trunked system or APCO 25, you can find out more at www.radioreference.com go to the data base and click on california, then click on the county and it should tell you the frequencies and which systems they use.
