    2023: This is the best instructions I have found anywhere for this unit. Seems notoriously difficult. I've had debates with people on how Uniden should provide instructions on how to do this.

    Is it just me or does the opening music remine of old 70 music. Mostly bad music with girls. The scanner input was a lot of help, thank you.

    Nice job. I have been staring at my 15x for almost a year and couldn't program it. Thank you very much! Keep us the good work for those of us who are overwhelmed by the 15x.

      Thanks ! I had 30 years of programming Mobiles and Bases Stations as well as training users and STILL my scanner sat on the shelf for a couple months before I figured it out.....

    Great job and very well explained on programing the BCT15x. My only question is where do you get the Freescan software. I have tried going on Radio Reference and am a Preminum member but still can not find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    i have 3 of these 15x's
    one being brand new because about 3 weeks ago the one i have on my nightstand .. sometimes i turn it off before falling to sleep,and sometimes i fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the night and turn it off.
    well on this one night it was working fine (audio coming out) when i fell asleep and then when i woke up i seen it was still scanning and stopping on the busy channels but NO audio was present. i turned it off and found time a week or 2 later to look at it , i even tried using a pair of headphones and a ext. speaker but no AUDIO from those as well.. I did a full reset to see if that might fix it but to no avail.
    i did send uniden a email but its the weekend so i was hoping to hear back from them this week sometime, but your video here doesn't sound like i will .
    i have a small amount of experience with a soldering iron and even bought a "rework" reflow hot air station that ive used once on a dji drone remote controller
    with success ;-) any ideas for me before i open up the hood on this thing.. thanks in advance - steve

    Just retired and I am returning to the hobby. Bought a Bearcat BCT15X. Looking for a copy of FreeScan to get it up and running. Can't seem to locate a copy on the internet.

    Very informative and helpful! Thank you. The frequencies I want to monitor are all available on the Radio Reference database. But, where can the CTCSS / DCS and the related parameters be found for a particular frequency?

    How do I get rid of the Public Service scanning? I only want to scan a handful of conventional high band and uhf frequencies, nothing else. All the little icons for the services are turned off.

    i was wondering if you could help me out programing a trunked system into the bct15x?

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      First of all, if you don't have the No-Cost FreeSCAN software here's the link
      www.sixspotsoftware.com/downloads
      As far as programming the Trunking systems, I've decided it's easier to send radioreference.com the $7.50 for 90 days access and download the programming for my local trunking systems. Programming a Trunking systems requires a ton of monitoring in order to get all the "group information & user information.

    • @Ninjahalfbreed1
      @Ninjahalfbreed1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Erod1944 Channel so you do NEED a computer to program a trunked system?

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's possible to program Trunking Systems manually but I fooled around with that process and gave up. Even if you download the data from radioreference.com it's still extraordinarily difficult to gather the Trunking System Data, Figure out the crazy schemes in the scanner and then actually do it. I gave up the idea but then, there's only 3 trunking systems in my area and I don't care about two of them..... A computer while not necessary is certainly the suggested method.....
      This may be useful to you and give you some idea of what you're working with;

      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep and if that makes you crazy you can always send radioreference.com the $7.50 for 90 days access to download and install the systems in your area on your scanner. Good Luck !!

    Any recommendation's on a mobile antenna's for the BTC15X . magnetic or other .

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Scanners aren't that picky concerning an antenna as they don't transmit and typically have very good receiver sensitivity.
      As far as magnetic mount or hole mount, they are pretty much the same and the decision is; to drill a 3/4" hole in your roof or not. I have used simple quarter wave VHF whip antennas on a roof mag mount with good results on VHF/UHF and 800 MHz. I've used "hole mount" antennas and got the same result.
      Here's an offering for a complete setup from DXEngineering. Many other companies offer the same or identical.

      CHOOSE: "Downloads"
      CHOOSE: "fssetup-218-b6.zip.zop
      Open the zip file.
      That should place Freescan Software on your computer and open up when you unzip the original file.

      The Erod1944 Channel is there a simple way to make this easier? I was given this thing with not one instruction. I've had a bearcat before but nothing like this. I wish i still had the other one. my nickname is Lucy, and yes I'm a blond. but I still need help

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Lucy. No, we don't discriminate against blonds here. Here's the deal. If you had your old scanner you would find that the FCC has changed the 2-way radio band plan and made the channels "skinnier". You would possibly be hearing multiple channels so you've lost that option with your old scanner
      With the 15X scanner the only way you can make it easier is to pay the $15 bucks to radioreference.com and download the service channels for your area. However, being blond, you should be able to get any lonely drooling male scanner enthusiast to program the channels for you with just a simple smile. (No double meaning on the "simple". - Sorry, I've been watching Seinfeld Clips again.....)
      If you can't figure out the access on Radio Reference let me know and I'll go through it again and pass it on to you.
