can someone help me program my scanner

My first scanner Pro-97 and I'm having some trouble. How do I listen to these frequencies of my city? I dont have the cable or anything. I can only program it manually.

Frequency License Type Tone CH Description Mode
501.58750 WPLX446 RM 065 DPL Fire Dispatch FM
502.58750 WPMV488 M 2 Fire FM
500.78750 WPLX446 RM 734 DPL 1 Police FM
501.51250 WPLX446 RM 205 DPL 2 Police FM

Don't you have a manual? It says right in the manual...

Yes i do have the manual..but im so confused there is "programming trunking frequencies " and "searching active frequencies in range" or "manually tuning a frequency" . I dont know which one.

Well, you can manually tune one of those freqs if you DONT want to save the frequency into memory, if so use that.

There should be something in the table of contents about "Storing Frequencies into Channels". I don't know if that's the exact wording, but that's what you want if you want to save the freqs into memory.

Give those a try!

Your list is conventional with DPL tones. Program as such.

Code:

Frequency  Tone    Description
501.58750  065 DPL Fire Dispatch
502.58750 	   Fire
500.78750  734 DPL 1 Police 
501.51250  205 DPL 2 Police

"searching active frequences in a range" is what i found and i think its right...i put a frequency range from 500.000 to 900.000 to search and only a few times it stopped by 501 so im thinking nothing is goin on in my city right now? am i right? or is a frequency always active?

Yes, you are right. The frequencies you want won't be stopped on if no one is talking. At the moment, nothing is going on I guess...

BTW, did you find that section in the manual in how to program the frequncies into the scanners memory?

in the manual there is "storing known frequencies into channels" and im working on it. BTW JUST NOW i heard the police dispatcher say a street and my city i got so excited. thanks for all the help.

I don't have the BC 60 but the manual states
1. Select frequencies
from your starter guide.
2. Press Manual.
3. Select a channel.
a. Enter the channel number. (I guess this means enter frequency number)
b. Then press Manual

The BC 60 can only scan conventional frequencies from 29 to 512 MHz.
