- Be sure the power is disconnected, remove the 4 screws holding
- the bottom cover....
- remove the bottom cover, being careful with the speaker leads (molex plug)
- find the microprocessor chip, its a 64 pin at front of the board
- fine pin # 20, (indent on chip is 1)
- desolder or cut from the board (pin #20)
- solder a bridge between pins 19 and 20
- replace bottom cover, apply power, and
- program something in the 870 to 890 range
- to confirm that it works....
- I hope that this mod is still valid....
- I think it will be with the 950, but I think
- they changed it in the later models, but they also
- changed the mod number I think.
- I believe that the 950 was named and made for scanner world
- in Newyork, but alot of the dealers got a hold of them.
- its a nice scanner, good luck and 73
- oh yeah other scanner equipment here is as follows
- Icom R7000, Radio Shack Pro 2005, Bearcat 950 XLT, and Bearcat 200 XLT
- I have mods for all of the above....

- Subj: BC950 CMT
- Newest from Uniden/Bearcat, the BC950 XLT (also know as the BC780XLT) can be
- modified for CMT coverage. Cut pin 20 of the main CPU at the PCB and lift it.
- Then solder a bridge between pins 19 and 20. This will restore CMT coverage.
- PROBLEM: If you have the CTCSS option installed, you will not be able to turn
- it off! (The CTCSS option, that is.) If this is OK with you, then go for it,
- otherwise consider which you need more, CMT or CTCSS! Also, the only known
- difference between the two aforementioned scanners is that the 950 is labeled
- (on the box) "Scanner World". Have fun!
