Hi vampiro
Welcome to RadioReference & the Texas Forum.
Which system are you trying to set up? If you are working on the analog TxWARN system,
Texas Wide Area Radio Network (TxWARN) Motorola Trunking System, Metro Houston area, Texas - Scanner Frequencies, then you must enter the custom tables for the Baytown tower because of
rebanding. See this Wiki
page to help you get started. Are you using software, such as FreeSCAN, or programming through the keyboard?
For the other TxWARN system,
TxWARN P25, that system is digital, and unfortunately, your BCT15X cannot track that system or decode digital transmissions. You would need to upgrade to a digital scanner. Your choices would include:
Make Model Type
GRE PSR-500 Handheld
GRE PSR-600 Base/Mobile
GRE PSR-800 Handheld
Radio Shack PRO-18 Handheld
Radio Shack PRO-106 Handheld
Radio Shack PRO-197 Base/Mobile
Uniden BCD396T Handheld
Uniden BCD396XT Handheld
Uniden BCD996T Base/Mobile
Uniden BCD996XT Base/Mobile
Uniden HomePatrol-1 Base/Mobile
The BCD396T & BCD996T are both discontinued, but can be found occasionally in the classifieds here on RadioReference, on eBay, and elsewhere.
