"Solved" Uniden scanner software program

Post by Keith2021 »

I was wondering what software some are using to program an Uniden Bearcat scanner? I have a BC246T scanner and needed a Linux program to program it. I'll do a search but wanted to ask here. Thanks.

Let us know how it goes. I suspect you have already found these alternatives:

I have found that LM 20.2 contains a whole lot more drivers for just about everything.

I guess the program wine will let me run one of the programs that I have, I have to check it out. I'll keep looking.

Going back through the posts I realized that I didn't respond. I checked these out and both programs would probably work if I had the scanners that it was made for, they won't work with mine.
I have Windows on another hard drive and just use that when I need to reprogram any of the scanners. Enjoy your day.
