I'm thinking about getting a new BCT-15 and was wondering if it will monitor trunked freqs. automatically or do they have to be manually programed?

Effective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.
We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation. They no longer have a place anywhere on this forum other than in the designated threads in the Rants forum in the Tavern.
If you violate these guidelines your post will be deleted without notice and an infraction will be issued. We are not against discussion of this issue. You just need to do it in the right place. For example:

You need to program the frequencies. It is easy with the huge database on this site.

If it is like the Uniden 996T, you can shorten programming on Motorola systems by only need to program in the control channels. For a system like MECA in Indianapolis, you only need 4 rather 27.buffalogoat said:
i think i`m buying one to add to my arsenal.. it would look nice with my 996t and 396t. i can get one for right over 200 bucks brand new unopened.

Thanks for the replies. I'm in South Carolina. The trunking system here is called Palmetto 800 but I'm not sure what system it is.

Buffalo,
Palmetto800 does use some digital talkgroups. If you want to hear those you would need to buy a 996 or 396.
