Just got the BC 346XT and I'm looking for help in setting up the Trunking for Westchester County.

Regatta,
Are you setting the radio up by hand (keypad entry), or are you using software + data cable?
By far the easiest method would be to use Freescan with the RRDB import function.
If you don't want to use the import and would rather do it yourself (software or keypad), you will need to create a UHF trunk system with two sites. You will need to put the UHF channel spacing into the sites and frequencies. Then add your talk groups.

Questions
I just have a few questions before i begin explaining,
How would you like to input this system into your scanner? Software or Keypad Entry?
Either, way i can tell you how to. Just want to make sure before i make a post about how to do this.Programming it through a computer would be the fastest way to do this, while programming in in by hand will take a much longer time.
Do you have a premium Radio Reference account?
It is not showing up that you have one. But here is how to get one: https://www.radioreference.com/apps/subscription/
Theatrically, you don't have to upgrade your account if you don't want to fork over the money, but if you want to directly import data into you scanner from the RRDB you would need one.
I have westchester county set up on my BCT15X. Programming it is kind of the same. I can tell you how.

I am new to this and I looked online for the manual and found it quite confusing.
I don't know if I am going to keep the radio or re sell it.
I need to hook up with someone that has it loaded with lower Westchester frequencies along with the trunking that would let me clone their radio. The radio I bought only came with the batteries and antenna nothing else.

I didn't see a PM in my mail box.
Where in Westchester do you live?
Are you able to transfer the frequencies and trunking into my radio.
