BC246T & Bell Fleetnet Zone 1

[akenmindz]

Hello All,

I am new to this site, these forums, and scanning in general. I used to have an old Uniden (forget the model) and it worked fine however i wanted to get into TrunkTracking so i purchased the bc246t. However, for the last year or so it was lost due to a move i underwent from alberta to ontario. Now i want to get back into scanning, mainly the ontario provincial police, however i have no idea how to program this thing. I was wondering if anyone here could give me some direction or advice.

Under Menu -> Program System -> New System
-Do i choose 'Conventional', 'LT', 'EDCS', 'MOT'
-After googling a bit im pretty sure i pick 'MOT' for motorola, however, then do i choose UHF,VHF,800MHz Standard, 800MHz Splinter, 900MHz

This scanner seems so much more confusing that my previous, however im sure its amazing once you figure it out...

Anyways, thank you all i look forward to hearing your responses.

You would choose Motorola Type 2 VHF and make sure the base, offset and step numbers are included as well.

Unfortunately programming Fleetnet into a 246T won't allow you to listen to the OPP as they are P25 digital and the 246T is an analog scanner.

This site may help you better with programming.

I've had my 246T for over a year now and I absolutely love it, I take it everywhere, once you get the software for it, it's very easy to program.
