Thank you for this information !!! I've had a bearcat for years. It's been packed up for at least 15 years and forgot how to use it. Your information brought it all back to memory. Thanks for sharing !! 👍
Helpful for doing it manually.. I was looking for help with uploading frequencies via USB .. I think I got it, but not picking up much yet. I'm still getting familiar with my new Whistler 1040.. thanks for posting the video. Scanning is a great hobby!
I manually put my frequencies in but they are not working!!but they work on my laptop through wifi broadcastfiy and police app ! could this be because Wichita Kansas Sedgwick county is analog
first day at this, i bought a ws1040 hand held question when batteries are in unit and i use the ac power adapter, will it override the batteries or should i take them out ?????thanks

+K4DPS ...I've heard of scanners that you just put your Zip code in, and they fill with frequencies themselves. Do you know which ones? Can you make a recommendation? Thank you.
@@loganlongman4996 i am very late but if you have an analog scanner it will not work on some frequencies, you will need a digital scanner for some of them
I'm a newb. Bought a used Bearcat 245. I live in Orange County, CA. Trying to figure out how to scan a trunked system (OC Sheriff) and I'm having a difficult time. It's not listed simply by frequencies. I'm getting a lot of 5 digit numbers and can't decode them to plug them in as frequencies.
i cant get my scanner to do any of that the prog button does nothing infact the only buttons that respond are man,scan, and keylock its a radio shack pro-91 and i have no idea what im doing send help
Maybe some of you radio enthusiastic can help me out with this question. I work at a prison and our main prison is on Channel 1 but where I typically work which is that the Work Release Center we are on channel 4. My question is when you change channels are you tuning into a different frequency or are you going to a different part of the original frequency?
Some scanners only display 6 numbers even though some freqs are 7 numbers. In my experience, the scanner will usually still pick up the freq even though you only entered the first 6 numbers. I have a 25 year old scanner that still works and it only accepts 6 digits. I'm monitoring a 7 digit channel with it and it works very well.
What is a "control frequency"? my county has eight of them. Do I enter all of them? I am using ARC-XT for my BCD396xt and I am very confused because when I enter just the frequencies I do not pick up anything. KNT4176 -(My old CB License from the 70')
hey does anybody have a uniden bc-70xlt? I got one from a swap meet and its trashed. opened it up and there isn't even a wire running from the center pin on the BNC.!! kind of explains why im not hearing anything ay. if someone has one of these I need a couple good pictures to show me where the wire goes from the BNC connector and other stuff inside the cover. reply to me via here and ill get back with uRead more Show less
I have been called worse. I was told by a Harvard professor that when you are teaching somethng new to someone you need to teach them like they are Elementary Children. Have a nice day and thank you for taking the time to leave a negative comment.
I've had mine for over 20 years and I'm really glad I didn't get rid of it. Thanks to my aunt who gave it to me. You made programming made simple.

Thank you for giving simple advice. Most scanner RUclips channels are way to complicated
So many thanks for teaching a not so brainy one as myself. Great appreciation. God Bless you, Amen
I was following along with the video and started laughing when you said you were in Santa Rosa County; I live in Navarre...lol

Thank goodness, finally something that was helpful.
Znice video. Could you please show us how to program trunked systems?
How do you unlock the keypad?

I need a scanner antenna pl259 plug to fit my old r.shack prog. Scanner....
I have bc125at scanner and I'm trying to set it up and can you help me with it?
Can I need the homepage for programming the aor/dv 1...??
My scanner won't accept my frequencies, even though I found them from the website you suggested

OK is it possible to communicate between 2 different scanners
How you program a digital poilce scnner how you get the frequently of new jersey
Very well done.
How do I bring back locked out channel thanks
I am trying to find the frequencies for a scanner for Grant County
The police frequency's showed on here wont work when I program them in it just reads ERor
How do I find police frequency that works on my scanner
@@loganlongman4996 i am very late but if you have an analog scanner it will not work on some frequencies, you will need a digital scanner for some of them
But be advised, most if not all pd frequencies are now on p25 p2 system and are encrypted so good luck
do i need a cd to program a digital one or do i only need the programing cable ?
Thanks!!🎉
Thank you

Sorry Justin but the system your trying to monitor is encrypted and cannot be monitored by any scanner.
That's unfortunate.
Those numbers are the unit id's for each vehicle, officer and dispatcher radios

The question is can I just put them in my scanner by hand and manually and will they work
Yes you can
@K4DPS how are you doing today? I just want to know I have 2 Motorola HT-1000 radio, can I program police scanner into my HT-1000 radio?
Not likely Clark. Most local public safety agencies have moved to more advanced communications technology now.
Very helpful
Where do I get the computer cord and what's it called so I can plug it in my computer thanks
It’s call a programming cable. You can find them at: scannermaster.com

73 OM. Any good basic scanner manuals online? I have a Bearcat BCT15X and I can't figure the thing out. Operations are strange. Cheers
Here is a easier to read manual for the 15X: marksscanners.com/bct15x/bct15x.shtml
OK, thanks. I've been scouring that since I posted. I'm good. I wish they made computer access to data like this much easier. LOL.
some of the frequencies in my area are long than 6 numbers, xxx.xxxxx. you seem only doing only 6. is that the limit?
colton alvis that's what I want to know
Some scanners only display 6 numbers even though some freqs are 7 numbers. In my experience, the scanner will usually still pick up the freq even though you only entered the first 6 numbers.

Control channel is usually for a Trunking system, no?
Control frequencies are for trunking. Depending on the system you are using and if it is encrypted you will need the key to listen.
Trunking frequencies are 700 and 800mhz. Vhf and uhf typically will. It have encryption other than dpl and ctss tones.
You got the codes
Do you necessarily have to put the tone number in?
No, you can monitor without the tone programmed in.
thank you!
Thanks
I like scanner
What about the police? Is there a way to get city police at all?
why do a blurry video......
I miss scanner police entertainment, niw unreachable in bc 🇨🇦 sad...was awesome fun for us, not so much for them

Radio Ref does list other countries
Nothing in my region lists police frequencies, just bullshit stations like energy department.
Not working
Can u talk back to them
No Amanda, it is receive only.

Ugh.... It's like watching Forrest Gump program the scanner.
