11/28/2008 Updates - A large update. Moved several of the systems around and re-numbered them to make room for some LTR systems in Indianapolis I added to the usd files. Added several new talkgroups and frequencies to many systems. Updated or moved 69 systems in the 996t file. See the facts section a little further down to see just how much was updated and added. 11/28/2008 - I've added an excel spreadsheet with the layout of the scanners and their systems, download from the link on the right. Past update changes are listed at the bottom of this page.
I have uploaded my .usd files from my BCD796, BCD396t, and BCD996t Uniden scanners, the 796 file will also work with the bcd296 scanner. Right click on the links to the left and choose "save as" and save them. These are .zip files and you will notice in the 396 and 996 file, there are several counties in West Central Indiana and East Central Illinois covered including Indianapolis, Carmel, Lafayette, Terre Haute, Danville IL, Champaign IL, and of course - Lebanon Indiana. Enjoy! NEW!!! I've also created a rough version of instructions in a PDF file for using my files to program your scanner, located to the left. If you know of a talkgroup I don't have listed or if you have .usd files to share with me, please email me and let me know at n9wpbrian@yahoo.com
The map of Central Indiana above shows in Green what is complete (SAFE-T and Anolog Freqs), yellow is SAFE-T only, and counties in blue are anolog frequencies only. The light blue counties are located in the Misc. Indiana system. Many counties in Illinois are covered too just not listed on this map, especially Vermillion county and Champaign county.
These files are used with the uasd software that came with the scanners or downloaded from the Uniden websight. One more note. These are programmed for the Boone County Indiana area and there are several counties that are locked out, once in your software, you can unlock these or once they are loaded into your scanner, they can be unlocked. Most everything is set for ID search, not ID Scan and all of the DOT (Dept. of Transportation) talkgroups and misc frequencies are locked out too. Costomize to your liking and again, ENJOY!
NOTE: IF you use my files, that's great and enjoy them, if you post them somewhere, please give credit where credit is due. Thanks ~ N9WP NOTE:There are 2 MECA-1 systems. The first one is split by agency, the second one is split up by the area (district).
FACTS:
Fast facts on the BCD396t file: will fill the scanner 83 percent, 85 systems, 394 groups, 5667 talkgroups (alpha tags), and frequencies. That is 4% more, 5 new systems, 15 new groups, and 219 new talkgroups and frequencies from the last update on 10/28/08. Enjoy and let me know if you use my files. Also note that the 996t files will show more talkgroups because there is a limit of the number of talkgroups on the 396t and the top limit of the 996t hasn't been reached yet.
This page last updated: 11/2008 Update Archives: (11/12/2008) - Gave this page a new look, hopefully making it easier to follow. (10/28/2008 update) - A small update but corrected some entries, updated 11 systems, 1 new group and 15 new talkgroups/frequencies for the 396t and 996t files. (9/01/08 update) Updated 24 systems, 188 new talkgroups, and added the Shelby County SAFET system. There were also several alpha tag changes for the new Indianapolis MECA system. I did remove a couple systems, the old MECA system which is no longer used, and I also removed the files I had for Ohio which where greatly outdated and unconfirmed. (7/24/08 update) Updated 19 systems, not very many new talkgroups, the biggest change was that I took the new Indianapoli MECA-1 and replaced the old one. Still a really good update especially if you listen to MECA. (6/10/08 update) Updated 26 systems, many talkgroups added and updated, added the McLean county star system in Illinois which covers the Bloomington-Normal area. The 796 file contains the new Indianapolis MECA-2 system. (5/27/08 update) Updated 58 systems since the update on 5/08/08. Added 61 Benton Co SAFE-T system, added tons of talkgroups to the new Indianapolis MECA-1 and MECA-2 systems and I changed most of the analog frequency modulation settings from auto to FM which greatly improves VHF sound and reception. (5/08/08 update) Updated 20 systems since the update on 4/16/08. Added the MECA-1 system. It is labeled as 10-New MECA-1 but has a quick key of 0 set up. Not all of MECA-1 is defined, as I gather more information, more talk groups will be identified. Right now the new MECA-1 is in testing and agencies should start migrating over at the end of May, 2008. (4/16/08 update) Updated 30 systems since the update on 3/30/08. Added and fixed many talkgroup alpha tags. The MECA-2 has been changed to reflect the new system they have moved to. Not all alpha tags are defined yet but a good number of them have been identified. (3/30/08 update) Updated 26 systems since the update on 2/27/2008. Also added a Tri-county system which covers Vermillion, Warren, Fountain, and Parke county conventional frequencies, taking them out of the Indiana Misc. system. (2/27/08 update) Updated 26 systems since the update on 1/20/08. (1/20/08 update) Updated 34 systems since the update on 12/24/07. Added new frequencies, talk groups and alpha tags. I also corrected many of the digital vs analog settings on the 996 files. (12/24/07 update) I added the Illinois statewide StarCom21 digital system for some Eastern Illinois counties (StarCom21 is just like Indiana's statewide SAFE-T system (396 and 996 files only)) and updated several talkgroups and frequencies in both Illinois and Indiana. |
