BC125AT: Have my first scanner and cannot figure out almost everything setting it up?

[Zonegate]

I have my first scanner and cannot figure out almost everything setting it up? It is a Uniden BC125AT. Instruction book is not clear enough for this older duffer to figure out. Where can I find very easy to follow instructions? I tried adding a number of local Fire and Police frequency, but now I have no idea how to get to them.

There is not much so far that I have been able to figure out. As my old math teacher would say - "now I have to teach you kindergarten style"

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated Thank you

After, if you have specific questions please share the agency you are trying to program so we can look at it and better answer your questions.

What state do you live in? There are regional forums listed at RR by state. I’d ask the administrator to move your post over to the state forum where hopefully you could hookup with someone who could be “hands on” with you.

There are several video's on Youtube dealing with programing the 125AT. Lookup K4DPS.
As for frequencies check the data base to see what's available in you corner of Maine.

Where in Maine are you from? What specific agency(ies)? Hoping for your sake your agency(ies) of interest aren't P25 and/or trunked because your scanner can only receive analog conventional channels
