Try this for starters.....
Can you tell me on there where it explains how to put numbers in? Please
You can try these steps below but a warning: Some of the frequencies in the State-by-State set-up are outdated, but it should get you up and running as some of the frequencies may still be active in your state.
Here's a little explanation from the "Easier to Read Manual" mentioned earlier:
State-by-State Scanning
The BCT15X comes preprogrammed with many of the channels used by local police, department of transportation, and highway patrol agencies, organized by state. You can also assign a state to the systems you program so that they can be included in State-by-State scanning.
Selecting your State
To select your state, tap FUNCTION (the scroll knob) then tap the Volume control. Rotate the scroll knob to select your state, then press E to make your selection. The scanner unlocks any systems you have set to the selected state, locks out systems that are set to a different state, and uses the current state preprogrammed data during state-by-state scanning.
Using the Built-In State-by-State Agencies
To use the built-in State-by-State agencies, repeatedly tap DOT/POL/PRI and (Bear Paw)/HP/ALT until the desired agency type's icon shows in the bottom row of the display:
PL — Local Police
DT — Department of Transportation
HP — Highway Patrol
BT — BearTracker Warning System
After scanning your programmed systems, the BCT15X will scan the enabled state-by-state agencies, then resume scanning your programmed systems.
To stop State-by-State scanning, repeat the above until all four icons are turned off.
I hope this helps some....
Entering actual frequencies requires a bit more than what I just posted. I'm not familiar with how to add Trunked frequencies, as I have FreeSCAN software do it and the fact that I don't really listen to them much, but I am familiar with entering convention frequencies into my scanner, that is fairly easy, once you've done it.
