Remote control of BC250D

Joel Kahn — 2013-04-25T15:59:49

I think that all of the replies I have read are "Partially" correct:

Arc250 pro will work with WinXP. Win7 and Win8.

If you are using a serial to USB cable:
The drivers for the USB/Serial cable will only work if you have the correct 
driver for the Windows version. The older, "off" brand cables cannot be used for 
Win8 because there is no updated driver past XP.  The Uniden cable has a Win7 
driver which also works for Win8.

This will not be an issue if the computer you are using has a serial port.

Make sure that you have the scanner set for the same baud as the program 
(115,000 8/N/1 should work for both) and plug in the cable to the computer and 
scanner, turn the scanner on and then look at the hardware manager to insure 
that there is a serial port assigned (same process for either cable type).  This 
is important if the auto detect does not recognize the scanner.  **the scanner 
must be turned on to be recognized!**

To test if you have a connection, try reading from the scanner to the softwa

Correct.  I have the Uniden software and it worked great in XP, but won’t work in 7.

I believe the software is not compatible with Win 7 pr 8 but Win XP should work. Check on that possibility first. that's my only suggestion.

At one time, I did have the jack break. I sent it to Uniden for a 
successful  repair.
In the software, did you assign the correct com port or just let the 
software try to find it ?
Just make sure the baud rate is the same for both scanner and software.

Hi Clark, thanks for the reply. I have ARC250 but it's not detecting the 
connection. I checked my serial ports and they are supposedly working 
correctly however no joy.

It may be the cable but I've used it in the past with success although 
it's been probably a few years since I've programmed the radio.

Any other thoughts, anyone?

No, there is no response or indication from the scanner display.
The software, like ARC 250 will either confirm or not confirm when "Auto 
Detect" is attempted.
Or if Cloning to another scanner and it's successful.
A trial (30 day ) version of ARC 250 can be obtained here

Remote Mode

jim d — 2013-04-20T23:56:41

How do I confirm that my radio is in remote mode?

I use MENU_3_5 and choose baud rate and PRESS _E

Should I then see something that indicates the radio is in remote mode?

Re: connecticut state pd

kw_perpall — 2013-01-09T19:58:56

I know that the BC250 will not trunk track the rebanded freq. 

I live in a LIGHT traffic area and put in all of the freq listed on radio reference in as CONVENTIONAL freq including the control channels and then locked them out when they stopped on them. They change control channels at times. 
I do not see any difference with 2 other trunk tracking radios on at the same time for comparison to the BC250. I know is is not the proper way but living in a slow traffic area it gives a little more life to the radio.
The BC250 started missing some broadcast. I then noted that they added a new channel on the trunked radios, so i added it to the BC250. All is well now.
This has been in use this way for over a year now. Try it, you might like it

The BC250D cannot trunk track rebanded systems.  You will need one of the

Did you read the information on Radio Reference that one or more site on 
Connecticut have been rebanded ? I not sure
if the 250D is able to handle rebanded systems.
