Connecticut State Police Uniden Bearcat bcd396t scanner

[seattlekid9]

Hope your not using that portable scanner while driving; State law says that "drivers in the state of CT age 18 and older need hands free accessories to legally use cell phones or other electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle". Only mounted scanners are legal to use while driving. Just saying...

[seattlekid9]

Does CSP have any analog frequencies or 800 MHz Conventional - Analog????

[mccaslin]

ha- we have interest in a man jogging. Sounds ambiguous.

[scyther4539]

can you hear bridgeport police now transmitting in digital formatt june 6th 2011

if anyone in ct has digital reciever police scanner let me know

if or not you can still hear them if so i'll buy a digital scanner please check

them out 154-725 154-4300

[mewrox99]

I really hate digital voice. I find the sound annoying and you can't beat the good 'ol analog voice (providing the signal is strong, if the signal is weak FM is horrible)

[jaymatt1978]

Dude ARC396 stinks get a program called FreeScan.. Note the FREE

[HPDpvtcaboose]

i know u can hear cb radioers on the uhf cb radio but ypu cant evan to know i got on the polices frequency by mistake

[rockhopper121]

can you talk to them?

[ct1396]

@rockhopper121 No I cannot.

[rockband5557]

plzzz help what kind is that so i can get it where could i buy it at

[weewoodeal]

What is best scanner for car.... a digital one

[hondaus90]

does the bcd396t let you listen to p25 single conventional channels, or do I need the 396XT to do that

[ct1396]

Well, all the p25 systems near me are trunked, so I can't say as far as single p25 channels, but the 396xt is a nice upgrade!

[billybassman21]

These guys need more crime to fight....they seem a little bored lol

I'm getting this scanner in a few days, should keep me busy for awhile

[HPDpvtcaboose]

what hardwere or program u use to program tho scanners

[ct1396]

I use Butel software ARC396. It's expensive, but I love it.

[sof2finchy]

i was the robber they were chasing

[HPDpvtcaboose]

lol

[harwintonambulance82]

what frequency is troop L? I can't find them

[ct1396]

None of the troops are on a single freq. CSP is now trunked, so the freq changes all the time.

[harwintonambulance82]

i have a trunking scanner, how can i pick them up?

[evomania8]

im running a triple trunking scanner that i got from my work (work for a town) and i get some troop H and the "hotline" but thats it.

[evomania8]

what frequency are you using? i cant find a good state police freq. thanks alot

[ct1396]

You may be in a dead spot. CSP use a trunked system now, & I run the scanner in control channel only mode.

[ct1396]

Most of the time we are able to monitor, but encryption is used on occasion as well, and also Nextel cell phones & MDTs (mobile data terminals) to chat back & forth.

[fuddckbush]

How do you break encryptions? Is it hardware or software or maybe even both?

[cnick6]

you don't

[jesserjzz1]

Here in rio they use Tetra too, but i could manage to buy one radio from a guy that bought an old police car with the radio inside,,,lol!

[35262eric]

I want to start getting into digital scanners now but am having a tuff time deciding which one to buy all others have been Radio Shack what do you think of pro-96 verse Uniden also live in ct and what to listen to CSP Thanks !

[ct1396]

I have not used the pro96, so I can't comment on it. You may want to check out GRE (who used to make scanners for Radshack). They are on their own now, & putting out good stuff. PSR500 & 600.

[Jsmooth7444]

is it on the default p25 voice? or did you adjust it manually, where I am you cant hear crap well.

[ct1396]

Yeah, it's on default. I haven't messed with the settings at all.

[GrecoAlbo68]

do these require programmng? like from the radio shack freq. book, or are they set to go fo ct. whats the major difference between this and any programmable scanner?

[ct1396]

Major difference is these will decode & play that digitial voice (p25) software that some agencies are using, CSP being one of them.

[PaulyCracker]

Is there a way to enter a specific freq to tune to using the keypad?

[ct1396]

No. Take everthing you know about a regular scanner, and forget it. These are set up awesome, much like a regular portable radio, with systems & groups. I love it.

[PaulyCracker]

Yep, I know that. I just wished I was able to manually enter in a frequency on mine. It's OK it don't because this scanner is so fast at scanning. Top end of a band to the bottom in seconds. It's amazing! Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[AuntBee09]

good reception :)

[skunko144]

hey how mcuh dose one of those unidens cost

[DaedalEVE]

US$500 more or less.

[QBangah]

ct1396 nice addition.

[TheGoodHumorMan]

What I don't understand is why they don't use their encryption for stuff like that? I guess it wasn't code B enough for them to use the encryption that I know they're capable of.

[gamepro325]

lmao "where did u get it" "where did i get what?" im sorry ct1396 but that was kinda funny its kinda obvious i apoligize

[ct1396]

Yeah, I know. Sometimes you try to be funny, but it doesn't come out right behind the keyboard.

[gamepro325]

by the way nice scanner i have one but its not like urs though mine has good sound and its worth a lot but i got it on sell urs is nice

[sasukeisme444]

where did you get it?

[ct1396]

Where did I get what?

[sasukeisme444]

the only thing showing in the video....

[lespaulstandar]

Duh .. the radio? Just a guess.
