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...

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...

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)...
