BUTEL Arc780 for Uniden UBC780XLT [PAID]
ACR396 for Uniden UBCD396t [PAID]
ACR996 for Uniden UBCD996t [PAID]
ACR8 for Uniden UBCT8 [PAID]
http://www.butel.nl Great quality programming software, good value, quality
value for money, plus for several other models not listed here
Best software for programming
Uniden
UBCD396t_USAD for Uniden UBCD396t [FREE]
UBCD996t_USAD for Uniden UBCD996t [FREE]
http://www.uniden.com.au/AUSTRALIA/p_index_transceivers_scan_receivers.asp
Very poor programming software, perfect for operating your scanner though.
There was also a UBCT8 Software package which it seems is no longer available
The New UBCT9 has the software for free with the scanner and I haven’t reviewed
it At this time
BCTOOL [FREE]
US/UK software programming of the Uniden 996 & 396, has built in recording
facilities, and Virtual control, very useful, still has some bugs,
but big development team.
