For: Uniden Bearcat’s BCT15X, BC346XT, BCD396XT, BCD996XT

Painstakingly created by Marksscanners, this 100 page Easier to Read Scanner Manual takes you deep into the amazing feature set and instructions for the Uniden XT scanners:

  • BCT15X
  • BC346XT
  • BCD396XT
  • BCD996XT

    This is an extremely handy 5.5 X 8.5 perfect-bound book which you can use on your desk, in your car and on the go. The guide is in 4-color with charts, images and super detailed text. This one guide covers all four of these latest Bearcat® XT model scanners and takes you far beyond what you get with the radio (only a CD-ROM and without the detail of Mark’s guide). Go step-by-step through each of the hundreds of features of these scanners and learn what the functions do and how they are enabled and disabled.

    Mark takes you through the process of planning systems, sites and groups and then programming your scanner with this information. The Uniden XT scanners are remarkable radios but to get the most out of them you really need this ultimate manual we are proud to offer.

    Road Trip to Hopkinton, MA

    On Friday April 16th the Scanner Master crew, Rich, Jonathan and myself, traveled to the center of Hopkinton, MA and the start of the Boston Marathon. Our purpose for this visit was to install a very custom programming job into a Uniden BCD996XT that was located in the new State of Massachusetts 911 Telecommunications Mobile Command Center.

    The custom programming job, created by Scanner Master, will allow the operators of this communications vehicle to monitor the public safety agencies of any of the 351 cities and towns within Massachusetts along with a variety of statewide agencies.

    The telecommunications vehicle will allow for backup operation of existing 911centers and major event communications. We were able to witness the newest state of the art technology in communications while there, as the vehicle has just been placed into service.

    This programming job provided another successful partnership between Scanner Master Corp. and the public safety community, of which we are very proud.

    We have just moved to our own building in Holliston, MA, which is about 10 miles southwest of our old location in Natick. We’re now centrally located between Boston, Worcester and Providence, just off Route 16 and very close to Route 495.

    Holliston was first settled in 1659 and was incorporated on December 3, 1724. The town was once home of the largest shoe producer in the United States, Goodwill Shoe Company. Also home of Joe Fish, the first professional baseball player signed by the Boston Red Sox and country singer Jo Dee Messina, just to name a few.

    On Tuesday, September 22, 2009 Scanner Master made Holliston its new home. Our new facility is 12,000 square feet located at the top of a hill in Hopping Brook Business Park.

    Here is our new Address:

    Scanner Master Corp.
