- DDavid HarrisSep 4, 2025
If your Uniden Scanner won't track, change to a Type 1 Scanner setup.
How to fix Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV that won't track?
If your Uniden Scanner won't track, change to a Type 1 Scanner setup.
What to do if 'CARD ERROR' appears on Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV Scanner?
If 'CARD ERROR' appears every 10 seconds while you are using the P-25 Card on your Uniden Scanner, try re-installing the P-25 Card.
What if neither APCO P25 CARD INSTALLED nor APCO P25 CARD NOT INSTALLED appear on Uniden Scanner?
If neither 'APCO P25 CARD INSTALLED 9600 SYSTEM' nor 'APCO P25 CARD NOT INSTALLED' appear when the Uniden scanner is turned ON, check to see if the P-25 Card Mode is 1:ENABLE or 2:DISABLE in the Menu mode.
Why robotic sound is heard on Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV?
If a robotic sound is heard on your Uniden Scanner, check to see if the ENC message appears on the display. The scanner doesn’t monitor encrypted voice communications.
What does 'APCO P25 CARD NOT INSTALLED' mean on Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV Scanner?
If the message 'APCO P25 CARD NOT INSTALLED' appears when the Uniden scanner is turned ON, check to see if the P-25 Card is properly installed.
Why Channel Activity Indicators are flashing but no sound is heard on Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV?
If Channel Activity Indicators are flashing but no sound is heard on your Uniden Scanner, it may be a telephone interconnect call, which are intentionally blocked by your scanner. Also, the ID on your display may not be active.
Why Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV won't stop during Scan List mode?
If your Uniden Scanner won't stop during Scan List mode, it could be because no IDs have been programmed or the IDs you have stored are not active.
Why DATA sound is heard at the beginning of digital communications on Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV?
If you hear a DATA sound at the beginning of digital communications on your Uniden Scanner, it could be because APCO project 25 systems can send data before voice communication, or the data sound can be heard when signal strength is weak.
What to do if Uniden Scanner missing replies to conversations?
If you are missing replies to conversations on your Uniden Scanner, you can: 1. Change to a Type 1 scanner setup. 2. Try another Preset Fleet Map or Program your own Fleet Map. 3. Check to see that all of the systems frequencies have been entered.
How to fix Uniden Bearcat Trunktracker IV Scanner that won't work?
If the Uniden Scanner won't work, verify the AC adapter connections at both ends. Ensure the wall switch for the outlet is turned on, as it might control the outlet. If the issue persists, try plugging the AC adapter into a different wall outlet.
