Yes you can use an AC-DC power supply.  Uniden makes the AD-1009 (if I read
it right) output of 13.8 VDC 750 mA.  Center pin is +.

Subject: [BCD396XT] 396XT and Remote Head, but...





Hi all,
This may be an easy question, but then again it may not be. I've used a
remote head first with my 396T then my 396XT in my car since it was
released. No problem with it - I love it! Now I want to use a second remote
head in a different way - at home, using AC power. Hmmm

I seem to remember (and as much as I hate it, I don't remember things as
well as I used to!) that there is a way to hook up AC power to the remote
head. But, I can't remember how to do it! The specs for the remote head show
the input voltage as 13.8 Vdc (11.0 - 16.6Vdc). So what would I use for AC
power going to the remote head? I'm anything but savvy at things like this
(obviously!). LOL

Help please!

Thanks,

Shell

You need to obtain a 12 VDC power supply, with about 1/2 amp or so capacity, to
provide power to the remote head. This would be used to convert the 120 VAC from
the wall outlet to 12 VDC that the remote head operates on.
 
Try Radio Shack for a universal adapater or power convertor. It needs to provide
around 12 volts with equal to or more than 500 milliamps.
 
You can connect the power convertor up the same way that you would when it is
used in the vehicle. Make sure that you correctly observe the DC polarity.

Hi Shell,

I hesitated to answer because I didn't think it could be this simple.

I have the radio and AC adaptor.  (I don't know what a remote head
is. Are you talking about the 996xt?)

As always this list is a wealth of information, thank you both!! While I know a
great deal about radios, I know little about "things electrical" and, if I can
help it, would prefer not to. I'll give Radio Shack a try first and will also
order the Uniden adapter to keep as a backup.

Thanks again and appreciate the quick replies! The remote head is still one of
my favorite pieces of equipment Uniden has produced and I've found a use for one
here.

Hi Matthew,
A remote head unit is a unit which provides complete control, including volume
and squelch, for several of the Uniden scanners. It also has a larger screen. It
(obviously) connects to the scanner and can be placed conveniently pretty much
wherever one wants it. Most often one uses it in their car or truck, which is
what I've done for the past several years and continue to do so. I have another
one (actually two) and want to use them at home and at work. It's much easier
for me to glance up at the readout on the remote head and see what's going on,
where I have it located, than to read it on my 396XTs. I have always preferred
the 396XTs for several reasons and thus have made sure I purchased a remote head
whenever I bought one.

If you'd like to see what they look like you can do a Google search on the web
and several locations will pop up, both showing you what they look like as well
as some locations which have them for sale right now. Uniden no longer has them
in stock but several of their distributors do.

As I mentioned in my previous post, the remote head really is one of my favorite
items Uniden has produced! I particularly like it in the car because where I
have it located, it's much safer. I have it mounted on the dashboard, all the
way forward, just slightly below my line of sight. So if a call comes in I can
lower my eyes just slightly, to see what it is, and still be able to watch the
road.

Hope that gives you some info on the Uniden Remote Head. There's a lot more on
sites like Scannermaster and others.

Hi Shell,

Thanks!  I am using ProScan, which is a programming software for the 396xt. 
It
also has
a nice big picture (real time) of the unit as a base station, with working
buttons and knobs,
including volume and squelch.  I don't always plug in and use this thing,
because the radio
is just fine as a scanner the way it is.

I am interested in looking into the remote head you are talking about, if you
can give me a little
more info I can use to look it up.

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Actually, all of the software programs (FreeSCAN, ARC and ProScan) for the 396XT
(and several other scanners) have the Digital picture on the computer screen.
Some of them are more sophisticated than others in what you can do with them. I
have and actually use all three because there are certain features on each one
which I like better than the others.

I use the remote head in the car so I don't have to take my eyes off the road if
something is going on and I want to see what department it is. At home and at
the office I might not be next to the radio, but if I have the remote head
hooked up I can glance over to the bookshelf next to my desk and see who it is.
I cannot see the readout on the radio from that distance and I do not run the
software on my computer - that's for work, not for the scanner software. So the
remote head fits my needs perfectly.

You can read all about it on the Scannermaster website:

purchase
this very nice equipment!

Wonderful, many thanks for this..

I have the bcd396xt and subscribe to proscan.problem is that on another software
that I use I can seperate groups by assigning quik keys.I prefer using proscan
but I click on quik key nothing happens.I can program systems into the 396xt but
they are scattered throuout and cannot be grouped together or turned on or
off.If anyone has an old radio then you know how you used banks to organize
systems.If I could get the q keys to work I could do this without erasing
everything,or maybe not.Anyway any help would be appreciated...Thanks




[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

System Quick Keys (SQKs) should be set on the ProScan System page for
conventional systems and on the ProScan Site page for trunked systems.
Group Quick Keys (GQKs) are set on the ProScan Group page for both types
of systems.  SQKs and GQKs should then be transferred to the scanner by
uploading at least those systems which have been changed or which
contain groups which have been changed.  You can have up to 100 SQKs and
each system can have up to 10 GQKs.  There can be more than one system
or site assigned to a SQK and more than one group assigned to a GQK.
Searches and Services can also have SQKs so they are really
System/Search/Service Quick Keys, but usually referred to as merely SQKs.

The ProScan Quick Keys / Search Keys tab provides a means of setting the
state of the SQKs and the GQKs following the transfer of new
configuration data to the scanner.  It doesn't change the assignment of
the quick keys, merely their initial state.  It, too, needs to be
uploaded to the scanner (as part of the configuration) in order to take
effect.

When you're using ProScan's virtual scanner display to operate your
scanner you can turn systems and groups on and off just as you would on
the scanner itself by clicking on the same keys as you would press on
the scanner.  In other words, if you want to activate the system to
which you have assigned SQK #1, you would click on the #1 key.  For two
digit SQKs you need to click on the [. / No] key and then the two
digits.  For example, for SQK #24 you would click on the [. / NO] key
and then the #2 key and then the #4 key.  To turn a group on or off, you
click on the [FUNC] key and then the GQK number while scanning the
system which contains that group.

The display

S0:1234--7**0 indicates that SQKs 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 0 are active; SQKs
8 and 9 are inactive; and SQKs 5 and 6 are unassigned.

S1:12---678** indicates that SQKs 11, 12, 16, 17, and 18 are active;
SQKs 19 and 10 are inactive; and SQKs13, 14, and 15 are unassigned.

Etc. to S9:12345678790

Hope this is helpful.

While everyone is on the topic of the 396XT and the remote head, is it possible
to use a GPS with the 396XT/Remote Head combination?  The 396XT has only one
serial port and both the remote head and GPS want to use the same port.

No...

As Dewey said, no. You can split a GPS to use on two scanners, but you
cannot combine a GPS with a two-way device such as the RH.

Does the BCD396XT or the T have the PL Tone lockout feature ?
I have gone thru the Menu settings and don't see that feature but some 3rd
party software seems to have it in menus.
Both FreeSCAN and ARCXT have a Tone LO column but it doesn't seem to
lockout the PL I have entered.

Clark

I know the 396XT has it and I'm pretty sure the 396T has it as well.

The CTCSS/CDCSS options are under audio settings. Set it for analog
only, then "Set Lockout", then select CTCSS/CDCSS, then set the
tone/code you don't want to hear.

Thanks Joe,
I missed it by having the Audio Type set to "All".
I should have learned that by now.

Hey Joe,

Nice to hear from you. 

I have to find that serial port wire.  I put it somewhere when I got the
USB wire, thinking it was useless.  

By the way, what is the use of it anyway?

As Dewey said, no. You can split a GPS to use on two scanners, but you
cannot combine a GPS with a two-way device such as the RH.

What is the use of what? The Remote Head?

Typically, when you are dealing with compact places in vehicles, there
may not be enough room to mount a mobile scanner. The RH allows the
scanner to be mounted remotely and the much smaller head will control
the scanner and mimick the display.

Hello all,

I just got my scanner today and went to the Uniden web site to register it...and
they are asking for the ESN ?

Which must be an "electronic serial number"   but where is it located ?....
I can not find it any place...The scanner has a serial number on the back side
above the battery door.

But this "ESN"  must be someplace that i have not looked at.

Thanks for any help on this.

Robert Mace 

The esn is the serial number under menu the settings then see scanner info the
click firmware version its the last 9 numbers of the serial number

SEE SCANNER INFO

You will also find the Checksum there.
These are all the last items in each menu.

I thought registration of a Uniden scanner stopped with the 396t, the "XT" did
not need to be registered for the latest firmware change.....

and would appreciate any expert opinion on how to do better. I don;t know what I
don't know ;-)

Has anyone tried, for whatever reason, printing this manual? If so how many
pages did it take up? Just wondering.

Thanks, Mark!  Beautiful job!
Guys, download doPDF off the internet.  It installs as one of your printers. 
When you want to make a PDF, you hit "Ctrl + P", pick your destination, and go
for it.  Mark's entire XT manual came out to 78 pages.
