User questions & answers

Question:	If I order this now, will I receive a new unit that does not have the bug where it has to be returned to Uniden to fix
Answer:	*IF* the seller returned his stock as they were instructed to, all current stock should be fixed. Only the seller would know that. You would have to contact them directly before purchase. I would *think* all the old stock with the bug has been sold by now, as everyone was sold out for a few weeks during the recall. Id think its safe now. Even if you got the old version, Uniden will swap it with a new unit, and give you a 3 year extended warranty for your trouble. Not to shabby. Since I see the seller answered already, just disregard my comments and grab one!
Question:	can you power this unit from the usb cable in the car
Answer:	The Unit cannot be powered from the USB cable the scanner comes with a cigarette lighter adapter and hardwire cable to connect to a car battery. You can use either one of those cables to power the unit but the USB cable is for data transfer only for this scanner.
Question:	i had read that all you have to do is put your zip code in and your good to go is that true or not
Answer:	Yes that is true but I also use program ARC536PRO to help me monitor what I receive. This receiver is great. The Zip code is all you need to get started. I learned a lot from YouTube video's. Have fun :-)
Question:	Has Uniden fixed the WiFi dongle or Add the siren app yet? It has been a year since this thing came to market and still no updates
Answer:	I purchased the BCD536HP scanner and the BC-GPSK antenna. From my view point this is nothing but a big fat lie from Dan M.This App was a MAJOR selling point of this unit; the scanner even comes with the Wi-Fi dongle; the package even shows the Wi-Fi dongle on it!It's been over a year? REALLY?!? .....REALLY?!?!I would recommend no one buy ANYTHING from Uniden until they keep their promise on the MOST expensive scanner system they have ever sold. I know I'm over $600 into it and it still isn't complete.

User questions & answers

Question:	I know nothing about scanners in general. Is this a good scanner for beginners, and does it come with everything needed to set up and listen
Answer:	In short, it is a good basic starter scanner. It will get you all analog transmissions from 27Mhz all the way up to 800Mhz.For a beginner scanner though, it can be a little tough to program manually. I learned through google searches and youtube videos. But if you want to just figure out what is going on around you, the scanner is preset to scanner different frequency stretches with the push of a button. So you can tell it to search just the standard police/fire/ems frequencies, or just the aircraft frequencies instead of manually programming.Oh, and yes this comes with enough accessories to permanently (wiring harness) or temporarily (cig lighter) set up in your car/truck or in your home as a base scanner (wall plug).Hope that helps..
Question:	What is the difference between the Uniden Scanner model number BC355N and the Uniden Scanner with model number BC355C
Answer:	The 335N is just an updated model. The BC355C is no longer in production by Uniden instead the newer BC355N is the current production model. Both scanners are essentially the same aside from very minor technical specifications, just one is currently in production and the other isn't.
Question:	what type of external antenna connector does it take I want to use it in my RV and I have a car type push in plug does that work
Answer:	This is a helpful tool, now in most area police use a different type of radio. They use a p25 phase 2 to help prevent people from hearing them. The scanner for that kinda of radio comes at a high price! I work in EMS, I use this radio when I’m not working to try to avoid any road that has a MVA. I also go to calls sometimes if man power is requested
Question:	does the scanner recieve annalog or digital transmissions
Answer:	Perhaps the a new model was released under the same part number, because there are many answer from 2013 stating this is not a digital scanner and that this is not a trunking scanner, but today in 2017 it clearly is. The description lists P25 Phase I and II as well as X-TDMA. P25 is the digital radio standard for public safety. X-TDMA is the digital standard for multimedia data over radio. There is also a lengthy list of trunking technologies that are supported by this model. Amazon should clean up and delete the old misleading answers as they no longer apply.

User questions & answers

Question:	will it pickup viper
Answer:	Yes, This Radio will receive unencrypted calls from the NC Viper system.
Question:	Will this work with the new Des Moines Ia sytem
Answer:	Not well. Des Moines is on the Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System (ISICS) which uses many simulcast sites. If you’re in range of two towers broadcasting the same frequency you will have issues. The SDS100 and 200 are the only current Uniden scanners to handle simulcast well.
Question:	Is this model preprogamed
Answer:	This uniden BCD996P2 Digital scanner is not preprogrammed, you have to program it your self, Note: it takes a little while to program ,but it can be done, I would recommend theses scanners that are already preprogrammed simply by entering your zip code and they are the Whistler WS1095 digital scanner - Uniden Home Patrol 2 scanner and the Uniden BCD 536HP. I Hope you find this answer helpful. Copsfan
Question:	Can this 996P2 radio use the Uniden BC-GPSK Serial GPS Receiver for Scanner and Marine Products to get GPS input
Answer:	I have the 996P2 with this GPS set but what is missing with Uniden is a Bios update as on MENU look into the GPS and on the current BIOS there is NO RANGE. I live in Raynham,Bristol, Massachusetts and why do I get , in my car a frequency of a city over 20 miles . I want to set the GPS only to 5 miles. You have to pressure Paul from Uniden to update the Bios that you may see in looking for Bios for the 996P2

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone believe this scanner is easier to use than the Whistler
Answer:	The GPS receiver is installed but you need the plugin GPS antenna that must be purchased separate. (about $100.00)Any antenna can be used with the proper adapter. If you are using a outside antenna you just need to know what type of connector is on the end of the cable coming from the antenna and purchase the proper adapter. The stock antenna is SMA, but it comes with a SMA to BNC adapter. Adapters range in price from 5 - 10 dollars.
Question:	Can I use an external battery such as used to recharge a iphone to power this? This is to be used at nascar race. Connected by usb
Answer:	It will not allow most "Noise canceling" headphones as they are 600ohm, and the earphone jack is 32ohm!

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this scanner work for a “multi-agency radio communications project 25 phase 1 trunked” system
Answer:	I live seven miles from a SMALL town, live in a house with a metal roof and it works great.
Question:	is this a digital scanner
Answer:	See the answer from Ron below. I have the same questions. Make sure the scanner isn't defective. If it will not accept any programming at all, assuming you're doing it correctly, you may want to return it. I have this particular scanner and I found it easy to program, but I'm familiar with scanners so it was easy for me. There are some good videos online; google for "How to program the BC365CRS scanner" and you'll probably get some helpful videos. Sometimes these videos are better than the instructions that came with the scanner. If you know someone who is familiar with scanners, get their help in programming, using the scanner instructions. Proper programming requires following the instructions correctly and to the letter, which can sometimes be confusing. Not all scanner instructions are clear/understandable, especially if you're not familiar with scanners.
Question:	can it scan
Answer:	This is powered off of an included ac adaptor and can also take backup batteries
Question:	What is the rear external antenna connector
Answer:	We had to program the frequencies ourselves. Also we returned this item because we did not realize it was a basic analog scanner. It will not pick up digital or trunked systems. Most police/fire/state troopers have gone to digital and/or trunked systems. You might want to check your area first before purchasing. We learned the hard way!

User questions & answers

Question:	I know this might sound stupid, but I am looking to get this for my Husband (a truck driver). What do sidebands do? When would you use this? Just wondering if I should get him this one or the 880... Thanks
Answer:	If your husband wants or needs a radio capable of operating on sidebands, this is NOT radio for him. You would need to get the 980 model rather than this 880 model. Normally truckers operate on AM mode rather than sideband. However a few truckers who have Sideband capable radios will use sideband when they get further apart or can't get a good signal on AM. But the majority don't use sideband.
Question:	can you use this CB in the house
Answer:	Yes. You will require -1) An regulated power supply that converts AC electricity to DC. The voltage you want is a constant 13.8 VDC (not 12 volts, you won't get full power) and which can supply a minimum of 5 amps under load.2) Do NOT press the microphone button until all steps have been completed.3) You will need to mount an external CB antenna at least 9' above the roof line. If you use a mast, it must be guyed every 10' above the last (highest) physical attachement to the house.4) You will need to properly ground the antenna mast to a copper clad ground rod (between 4' and 10' long depending on soil conductivity for your location dry sand: bad: 10' / wet rich soil: excellent: 4')5) You will need to properly ground the chassis of the CB to the exact same point that the mast is grounded to on the grounding rod. This is the step that most radio noobies skip. DON'T skip it.6) It is highly suggested you purchase a ground shunt (static discharge) for your coax; and yes, connect it to the same exact spot on the grounding rod.7) Try and purchase the highest quality 50-ohm coax you can afford. If you can afford Timesmicrowave LMR-400, then that would be your best bet. Try not to use coax more then a few feet longer than you need, and beyond that always allow 2 extra feet for a 'drip loop' at the bottom just before where it comes into the house.8) Wrap the PL-259 connectors with weatherproof coax tape to seal the connections from rain/snow/condensation. If you want to overkill it, then put a shrink wrap tube over the top of the tape.9) Secure the coax GENTLY but securely every 3 feet along the mast. A UV-resistant piece of flexable plastic 2" wide by 6"long wrapped around the coax and the mast (all at once) and secured with UV-resistant tie-wraps would be a good idea.10) Calibrate your 980SSB's internal SWR meter and then check you antenna system SWR to make sure it is less than 1.5:1 (mine is 1.0:1, a perfect match). If required (never use beyond 3:1), 'trim' your antenna to get a better SWR (most don't require trimming).11) Sometimes a CB antenna will require a physical ground plane at the antenna base; but most of the times in a base setup, not.12) Re-read your Uniden BC980SSB manual to make sure nothing has been missed in your setup.
Question:	Hello. I am looking to buy this for my husbands 1998 Jeep cherokee XJ..Will this be good for that? And also what other parts are needed
Answer:	Hello, yes this is a nice radio that would be fine in that vehicle.With this said, along with the radio you will need the following items:Cigarette lighter 2 wire power cord, magnet mount antenna. These items can be bought on Amazon or you can get them at a truck stop.I recommend Amazon because of a lower price and free shipping and the secret nature of being able to hide your purchase if it's a surprise gift.Truck spec is a cheap brand for the 2 wire power cord and for the antenna I recommend one of the following: K40, Wilson 1000 or the Wilson 3000 magnet mount antennas.Those come with the antenna wire already attached to the magnet and all he would do is run the wire through the hatch or the rear door after mounting the antenna on the roof. It's really easy to do. Just hide the wire under floor mats and beside the seat up to the dashboard to the CB.Now if you are looking for a better radio and easier to use right out of the box, I recommend Galaxy or Connex as these are rock solid and all the knobs are right there on the front of the radio unlike this modern radio with most of the adjustments in menus which made me feel like I had to relearn everything over again. I prefer direct access.This Uniden Bearcat 980 has an annoying beep sound every time you change the channel. Those two other brands of radios I mentioned are more expensive but are what the big boys in my industry use in their big rigs. You should be able to compare the features of the Bearcat 980 with those of a Galaxy or a Connex CB and go on that alone to match up what you want. I read the other two answers you got, Why did they even bother...I hope this helps and as always just ask if you need more info.
Question:	I asked if it was 100% new or a refurb and you deleted the question. I am now processing a refund/return on this item. Thanks for being a legit seller
Answer:	I ordered and paid for a NEW Bearcat 980SSB from gadget-town and got a refurb/used item. If you check that seller's 100% positive reviews you will find others have had the same experience, yet Amazon has crossed out those reviews and returned the seller's 100% positive rating. Take that as you will.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this larger than the roadpro rpsp
Answer:	It helps tremendously with wind reduction. I have used it while riding my motorcycle, and the person on the other end hears only a little rumble coming from my engine. However...my voice comes through less than perfect. My voice sounds as though I might be either a bit drunk or badly congested. Even with this drawback, communication is possible where it wasn't before getting this headset.
Question:	Can you hook it up to a phone
Answer:	No I don’t
Question:	Does this come with the wires to hook it up to Uniden 880 bearcat radio
Answer:	I don’t use the PTT button by wrapping it on my belt-easy to reach and I don’t concern myself with finger issues
Question:	Does the bc20 need an external power or does it plug into an ac port
Answer:	I don’t see why not. You’d have to buy the right connections for it, though. It has 2 bands on the mic and 1 band for the earpiece. Not sure how the PTT would work on a pc, though.

Answer:	It comes with a single non detachable cord that plugs into the back hole marked "ext. Speaker"
