So I am using FreeSCAN on a windows 10 machine, I have a USB to serial cable plugged into the serial port, I've already made a connection with the scanner and programed a conventional system so I know the connection works. I am trying to upload my local P25 system. I have imported it from RR...

I recently purchased a used BCT15, and already it appears I may have a problem. But rather than jump to conclusions, I thought I'd check and see if anyone else has had the same problem. When it stops on one of the channels I have programmed in, it acts like it loses signal right in the middle...

'bought a Uniden BCT15 - want to listen to City of Alameda PD communications. (Note - city of Alameda, KMA217, not COUNTY of Alameda.) Need a bit of help in the correct settings for my scanner - I have the frequencies, and it looks like Alameda PD uses a trunked system, and I have a TGID. What...

I've been trying to connect my BCT-15 to my Windows 7 computer. Since my computer has NO serial ports on it, I purchased a serial-usb adapter and I still can't get the ARC15 software to recognize the scanner. Has anyone been successful getting the Uniden scanners to connect to a CURRENT...

Hello, I'm looking for any insight into this, im not really sure if it can be done. I have two BCT15's mounted in my vehicle and they are kind of out of reach. I have a laptop stand and I can control each one with the UASD software, but not both at the same time. Once the program is open, I...

Hi all, I am fairly well versed in the BCT15 & 15X scanners but I've run into a problem. We have a BCT15 and a BCT15X in our main console (public safety dispatch center). One of my well-meaning dispatchers was trying to find a nearby FD channel in the radio (they were operating at a multiple...

My BCT-15 sometimes misses up to half a second of transmissions on some frequencies with CTCSS enabled. I can set here with my PRO-136 (no CTCSS) and BCT-15 held on the same frequency, and the BCT-15 usually misses the first quarter second, and sometimes half a second of transmissions. However...

Hello Everyone, I am a volunteer Search and Rescue member in Thurston County and run a Uniden BCT15 in my truck. While scanning WA DNR I normally receive really good reception, however it comes in really quite. I am wondering if anyone else has this issue with WA DNR channels? This only...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but am already having trouble with my new scanner, and am hoping someone here can help me out. I just bought a brand new Uniden BCT15 and have (I believe) programmed the Waterloo Region trunked system into it so I can scan the system. However, I never hear anything...

I have the UASD software for a BCT15. I also have the software registration key. When I try to load data to the scanner, I am prompted with a window stating "Demo Mode". The write-to-scanner window will not allow me to select my configuration, although it is listed (but shaded out). Previous...

I just got a bct15 and tried programming some in it but would like to start all over. How do I do a hard reset?

Is there a unique name / identifier for this kind of factory installed antenna mount, normally used for typical AM/FM radio? Are there drop-in replacements for this kind of antenna mount that will provide an antenna more suitable to the frequency range for a radio scanner (e.g. Uniden BCT-15)...
