  • The BCT15X scanner arrives new with four Pre-loaded Search Systems operating, the Bear Tracker Function activated and the Alert Tone turned up to maximum. This video demonstrates how to get these items under control so normal scanner programming can begin.

    Thank you Erod1944, for your help you are the man, it nearly went in the trash, I will set it up in free time but your video tells all my problems.

      When I first got my BCD996p2 scanner it just stumped me. It sat in the closet for a month before I got up the courage to tackle it and I had 38 years of programming commercial mobile radio and microwave systems.
      I'm glad you got it solved. Good Luck/Ed-Central Valley California.

    How do you turn on the Quick key line on the bottom of the display? Thanks for any help.

    For some reason, after selecting my State of SC, then press function knob to set, my scanner reverts to Alabama. Why?

      Same thing here. I got it to listening to trunking, but later I found out that the police is using encripted digital trunking. Gotta find a new use for this.

    Once you use the POL and HP buttons to remove the four indicators from the bottom of the display, does the radio retain that "OFF" configuration through a power cycle?

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. I have two 15Xs and the POL and HP buttons retain their configuration during power cycles.

    I just got my BCT15X and after i tried to program it the thing just shut down and wont turn on now??It makes a noise like it wants to come on but never does. Can anyone help me???/

    • @juanpa980
      @juanpa980 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Baytop Foster turn it off and press and hold 2-9-hold at the same time then turn on the device

    • @juanpa980
      @juanpa980 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Baytop Foster let me know if that works, is a common problem, that should fix it

      Here's how to reset the scanner from "marksscanners.com"
      Scanner Reset to initialize the scanner's memory, turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and Hold while turning it on (remember the game called Twister?). The scanner will give you the option 'Restore Preprogram List? "Yes"=E/No="."', if you press 'E/Yes', the scanner reloads the preprogrammed systems.
      Important! This deletes all programmed data.

    Just received my Oct15X scanner and in the process of turning it on, I pushed wrong buttons and now cannot get it back to original setup so I can follow your directions to get it on track. How can I get back to the original settings, it keeps showing me Alabama and when trying to change to other state, Pa. where I live, it will not do it. Please can you help me, Am senior old lady and am trying to understand this stuff.

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I found the manual reset on marksscanners-dot-com
      MANUAL RESET: To initialize the scanner's memory, turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and HOLD while turning it on. The scanner will give you the option "RESTORE PREPROGRAM LIST?? "YES =E NO="."
      If you press "E/YES", the scanner reloads the preprogrammed systems.
      IMPORTANT! This deletes ALL user programmed data.
      You should really look at marksscanners-dot-com as it is much easier to understand than the Uniden Manual.
      Here's the page that has the reset information from marksscanners;

    Does anyone know why my BCT-15X is so staticy?

  • @texhow1
    @texhow1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Erod1944, i tried the video link you sent me but I am still not able to SCAN my airband memories that I have programmed in it with Freescan software, it seems to be scanning its own service banks Regards Terry.

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      OK. I think the video I've attached to this message talks about your problem and the solution. It's really about the BCD996P2 scanner which is just about identical to your BCT-15X scanner except the 996P2 scanner can work with P25 systems. Try this and let me know how you did....

    Is There ANY WAY TO "Un-encrypt" The BCT15X Through A Modification ??????

    • @TheErod1944Channel
      @TheErod1944Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you're talking about receiving encrypted signals and decoding them, in theory you could buy/make a decoder however most encryption methods begin the day or the message with a digital code key that has to be mixed digitally and processed with the algorithms in the decoder plus the radio has to have a subscription key code in it as well.
      The probability of success is probably well below 001% or some other ridiculously low percentage..
