Uniden BCT-8 Firmware Upgrade & Reband 

I miss the SHTFLI days

Thanks for this!

I strongly suggest using software to program the BCT-8. One piece that I use is BuTel's ARC-8, but you still need to enter the reband tables manually. That is what I had done in the video. I resell the BuTel on my website

Omg so hard to program it took me two days just to program this scanner. At first I thought I was getting my local frequencies but then I was only getting one part of my city so I had to figure out the talk groups and that was no easy feat. So yeah it's a great scanner a very hard to comprehend.

..... good video. I don't think I could do this. I should of set it back down at the estate sale.

I also have a BCT8. It has no channels other than what the factory installed/programmed. If there are no other frequencies, shall I do this upgrade anyway? If so, will I then be able to program all my desired frequencies? I know the question is vague, but I'm new to scanning. Thanks for the videos.

Queston: On my BCT-8 I can get OCPD (Oklahoma City Police) in trucking using the State mode and I get something like, OK 53 744 as a frequency. Is there any way mod or otherwise to save those numbers? The 800 frequencies and talk groups that radioreference.com has listed does not pick up anything.

after doing update do you need to reband you old edacs system on the scanner

Is there someplace I can have this done

Wonder if you have talked to my popS on ham his call is N1GC

ok i did this and i got a pop up that read " this is not an object for BC rewriting is impossible"

does this work if your city went digital

Not with this radio. If you wanted to alpha tag frequencies, please shoot me an e-mail and I will supply you with a list of scanners. If you have this radio, and would like to use alpha tags, you will need to plug it into your computer and use software like BuTel ARC8
