[Scan-DC] MWAA Trunked System?

[SBryant]

Can someone help me understand how to program this new MWAA rebanding
into a Uniden BCD996T?  I do not have software for this, MWAA worked
perfect before this rebanding, now I can't get it to work.  I read
that some scanners will need a software update.  Hope that is not my
case as I do not have any cables.

Thanks in advance for any help.
