Are there multiple banks for Private saved channels or just one large 300-channel bank? So you can choose certain groups of private channels you want to include or exclude in the scan.
I have one coming tomorrow from eBay, mint open box with all accessories shipping + tax $56 . I've had the BCT7 and the BCT350 they were very good, really looking forward to this one thanks for posting sir.
Hey sorry it’s taken so long first you need to see if the frequencies for those departments are digital or analog this scanner will only pick up analog channels if you have both analog and digital in your area I highly recommend getting a Uniden BCD436HP you can listen to virtually anyone that’s not encrypted it’s is on the pricy side but that’s the best scanner you can get right now and find cheaper than the best ebay is the place to find them
Sounds like you squelch needs to be tuned better is all turn the squelch knob all the way down counter clockwise it should stop then gradually move it clockwise until you hear the static again and move it down again to where it stops that will be the best place for the squelch knob to be try that
Weird. I just acquired one of these but when i put on the same frequency as my other scanner it does not pick up anything like my other one does. Suggestiobs?
You can download the Frequencies into the scanner if you had the CD Software. That particular radio came out in 1993 so it'll probably be a bitch to find .
The frequencies are already in the scanner press private then band until your frequency range is on the screen let go scanner will cycle through frequencies press hold to stop use arrows to scroll one at a time when found Press private program then private again you should watch the video
No but if your going to put it in your vehicle I recommend a vehicle antenna it comes either a antenna cable for a vehicle which I am currently using and it works great
My bct15x works great i can pick up police 30 miles away in next town. And in my town you need trunking or the radio is worthless for police calls.. This radio doesn't have it
Ok I don’t have this u it anymore but I’ll do what I can are can you give me you state and county and frequency or what you want to listen to please so I can look your area up
Analog Communication is pretty much a thing of the past Trunking System . Picking up Emergency Services is all a matter of luck.There switching over to the P25 Digital System. Security we ended up with old Police Equipment so you should be able to pick up a Security Company within 50 miles. Train Station's 🚂, Cab Companies 🚖 & Bus Companies 🚌 also end up with old Police Radio Equipment haveing contracts with them some small Airports 🛫 . I used to jack with this Security Company i used to work for i was 35 miles out 😂. Haveing a Scanner's a God Send when they switch frequencies.
@@sigsnrigs240 I put a spitter on my 04 frontiers antenna and it picks up better than the scanner antenna I had. That's a great radio to be able to scan cb also.
I really don’t no I don’t have this scanner anymore I would just lock it out or over ride that channel with your new one I don’t think you can because of how the scanner is set up
Hi Stella I have looked up both of your locations they a both in what’s called a interops system fire and ems police sherrif all patched together it is a digital system which scanner does not cover you would need a digital scanner that can pick up p25 phase 2 digital channels comes in crystal clear digital scanners are not cheap be prepared to spend some money I have the best on the market handheld scanner it was 650 dollars
@@sigsnrigs240 It was a random gift so I didn't do any research and I've never owned a scanner in my life but St.Clair/Madison County IL 62040. Thanks for the reply.
Ok just about every state is going starting a interops a group of county’s and department system which can only be heard with a digital scanner Illinois is one of those states that scanner is analog only you it’s pretty much useless in your state
Those are broadcasted by a person scanner and whenever he doesn’t wanna broadcast it anymore it won’t be available to you WHAT ARE YOU 10 years old 🤣😂😆

Absolutely I would buy another just for my house if I needed one I really couldn’t believe the size it’s so small definitely get one
The only thing I wish this had was a primary channel
Exactly what I needed 👍🏻
Marcelo 187 great glad I could help

Very good I don’t have that scanner anymore
Thank you. Should I buy one in 2019 for my local first responder channels? My handheld Baofeng sucks.

You wanna go to RADIOREFFERENCE.com the largest supplier of radio frequencies
I have one of these, but I have no idea how to use it. I want to use it for truckers talk and police and fire etc. what aim I doing wrong?
Thanks that’s what I needed
I was given the same scanner you have. I live in Sandy, Oregon. I just have static even with the weather button. What am I doing wrong? Thank you
Sounds like you squelch needs to be tuned better is all turn the squelch knob all the way down counter clockwise it should stop then gradually move it clockwise until you hear the static again and move it down again to where it stops that will be the best place for the squelch knob to be try that
Maybe in your area the preprogrammed frequincies are not being used
Does it have a speaker built in or do you need to buy one separate?
Yes it has a speaker it’s good to go outa the box
Weird. I just acquired one of these but when i put on the same frequency as my other scanner it does not pick up anything like my other one does. Suggestiobs?
Is that a digital frequency p25 ?

Just ordered one
Anthony Saggio nice
Thanks!!!
I keep getting the message "Prg Loc" when I try to program in a frequency. Do you know how to turn off this lock? Thanks
I think all you do is push program a few times
How do I program my frequencies when there are no number buttons?
The frequencies are already in the scanner press private then band until your frequency range is on the screen let go scanner will cycle through frequencies press hold to stop use arrows to scroll one at a time when found Press private program then private again you should watch the video
Werent u paying attention????? The frequincies are pre programmed. The blind leading the blind
@@anthonygallo3576 So are the frequencies programable?
When i go to put in or delete a Frequencies i get an message that says Pr 9-Loc. Any ideas how to get ride of it?? Thanks
Push program twice when it says it
Does this need an antenna on your vehicle to work ?
No but if your going to put it in your vehicle I recommend a vehicle antenna it comes either a antenna cable for a vehicle which I am currently using and it works great
Perfect! Just what I needed... thank you!
Your welcome
What do you do for work that requires you to listen to police radio traffic??
It doesn’t REQUIRE I’m a armed security officer it’s good to know what’s going on in your area so you can be prepared
And this is a scanner not a police radio
Yup
Them radios are actually suberb recivers, better than my uniden bct15x actually
My bct15x works great i can pick up police 30 miles away in next town. And in my town you need trunking or the radio is worthless for police calls.. This radio doesn't have it
Yes-HELP ME. Got one for Xmas and my brother in law set up and and I use private but I never hear anything
This is is logos mom btw
Ok I don’t have this u it anymore but I’ll do what I can are can you give me you state and county and frequency or what you want to listen to please so I can look your area up
Is this a digital or non digital scanner. I'm looking to buy one of these
No this is not digital analog only if your going for digital handheld get the BCD436HP OR the SDS100
Analog Communication is pretty much a thing of the past Trunking System . Picking up Emergency Services is all a matter of luck.There switching over to the P25 Digital System.

What ever you say man
My phone case lens cover gets dirty but thanks
What type of antenna do you use for this thing?
I use a roof antenna
@@sigsnrigs240 I put a spitter on my 04 frontiers antenna and it picks up better than the scanner antenna I had. That's a great radio to be able to scan cb also.
Great
Did you just buy this give me a little background
There’s plenty of channels that haven’t gone digital ?
Easy scanner set up no PC program
I had a scanner that look like this several years ago, but it had a keypad
Very cool
How do you delete an ad frequencies from that device
The video should explain it I don’t have this unit anymore but as far as I no you can’t delete a single Chanel
Do you know how I can delete all the frequencies in my scanner so I can start all over
Turn the unit off hold in program and LO WHILE TURNING IT ON I BELIEVE THATS IT
Does anyone know if this will receive San Francisco Police Department?
GodzUnit01 I can check for you ?
GodzUnit01 all of San Francisco is still analog so this will pick it up
Sigs n Rigs awesome! thank you so much!
Sigs n Rigs where can I find such information?
Can it pick up railway’s as well as police?
Yes as long as the frequencies are analog
Yes
I programmed my channels how do u listen to them I hit private and it scans everything
That’s how you listen to them or push hold to stop and arrow to what you want
How do I delete a programmed channel that I saved on my private list
I really don’t no I don’t have this scanner anymore I would just lock it out or over ride that channel with your new one I don’t think you can because of how the scanner is set up
Pr9 lockout comes up, when I click the Program button.
Try hiring band then program again
If there’s no channels programmed yet it will say that
How did you find your frequency ?
Radiofererence.com
And will it pick up Los Angeles PD
No this is a analog only scanner I’m sure LAPD IS A p25? System
I can look it up and see but I need the county that they are in
I'm getting a Program Lock message?
Christopher Broich usually the band button will clear that
How far does it reach out?
That depends on the antenna that you use I’d say 20 miles with the one in the box
Where did you buy from
Ebay
What do you do if it says prog-loc ..........................
There’s nothing programmed is what it mean
how do i get logan and mingo wv ch ?
Hi Stella I have looked up both of your locations they a both in what’s called a interops system fire and ems police sherrif all patched together it is a digital system which scanner does not cover you would need a digital scanner that can pick up p25 phase 2 digital channels comes in crystal clear digital scanners are not cheap be prepared to spend some money I have the best on the market handheld scanner it was 650 dollars
Watch the sds100 video or the Bcd436hp I recommend one of those for you
Hi Stella I wanted to refer you to a great group on FB called Uniden Bearcat scanner friendly helpful people that love the hobby
Your video was kind of out of focus in the beginning. The review was cool.
There’s 1 bank for everything
Yes there’s only one area or bank to store your private channels but each have a different channel number
Mine just stop scanning not sure what happened
Ok did it come unplugged ?
@@sigsnrigs240 nope just stopped scanning and hung on a channel with static and squelch don’t help
I’m so lost
What’s do you need help with
I can't figure it out sir , may a subscriber ask for your help
Sure I’ll try I do t own this unit anymore what’s up
I can't get anything on this thing by WX
Did you by it new ?
@@sigsnrigs240 Yes. Won't pick up my PD.
Ok did you do any research before you bought like is your PD DIGITAL ARE THE ENCRYPTED I CAN CHECK FOR YOU I NEED YOUR STATE AND CIUNTY AND TOWN

Have fun wasting your money we have smart phones you could’ve just downloaded the app for free 😂

You're not an avid scannerist. You barely make any videos on it.
Well you see some us have to work for a living to provide your welfare money
