WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Hi everyone well just joined today and half hr later bought my first scanner the Uniden UBCD 396XT i know absolutely nothing about scanners and how to set them up so i hope you don't mind if i ask some stupid questions in the near future..

Regards Tassie

Ask away, no stupid questions when you are new to something.

Hi Tassie, like you I'm new and I have the same scanner, which, up until now has been used to hear perth tower and approach frequencies. Ive not changed anything on the scanner and yet when I'm next to the airport, the scanner, which is on scan, squawks, I hear nothing of value, but the correct frequency is displayed.
I used freescan to set up the scanner, is it possible I have deleted an important setting?
Can I reset the scanner to factory settings?
Is there somewhere in Perth I can take it for a check, someone who knows what their talking about?
I purchased scanner from new, however I'm beginning to think there is a fault. The guys in the shop no even less than me

Like you Tassie, helllllllllppppppppp

Hi panigale, I can send you a freescan file that will have all the required settings that you can try. I'll email it to you if that is ok?

scanner arrived this afternoon,just charging the batteries now and having a look through the instructions.. Panigale like you i'm also in Perth..

Panigale to reset the 396xt to the factory default
Turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and Hold while turning it on.
