BCT15: Bct15 question.

[scannersnstuff]

I seem to somewhat recall the answer, and have searched. With the original bct15 <not the bct15x> can you assign a priority channel within a trunked system ? . I believe the answer was only the x can do that. I refer to you expert's.

Thank you doctordialtone for your patient's <lol> . You are always a help; So, I increased my delay and system hold time on my "priority" system, and set the other's off. I am also going to program the most interesting tgid into the system that take's precedence.

This was from the BCT15X page in the Wiki : these are helpful to determine the differences in the newer model Uniden scanners and their predecessors.

BCT15X - The RadioReference Wiki

and for more fun, the "hard to read" manual,

https://www.uniden.info/download/ompdf/BCT15om.pdf

page 76 has a list of option for scanning and motorola priority is not checked.

Thanks WTP - Always a help. I so wish that I had kept my 996xt and 396xt. Hindsight is a great thing.

I kind of,sort of needed the buck's at the time. Don't get me wrong. I like my bcd35p2 and bcd346hp, but I loved stuff about the other's too.
