Default BCT15X Scanning Question

Hey guys,

For Christmas I got a BCT15X and put it in my car to do volunteer fire stuff. I was wondering how to only scan one system. For example, I have a system called Columbia, which has all my police,fire,EMS, and utilities channels. Normally i just put it on hold and go through the channels, but i was wondering how can I scan through all of them without scanning through every channel in the scanner, total. Any help would be great!!

Thanks,

Adam

P.S. if this gets to confusing, I will post a video on explaining exactly what I am talking about.

Press and hold the hold button while it is scanning that system until it beeps that will put that system in hold mode and only scan that system.To go back to normal scanning press and hold the hold button as stated above and it will go back to normal scanning.

Make sure you are in scan mode and not search mode. Assign each system a quick key then you can turn them on and off with the press of one button.

Agree wiith W8RMH. Assigning quick keys to various systems allows you to do exactly what you are looking for.
