You must round up or down to enter these into a scanner example : 861.2145 or 461.3495 Step size in these bands are 6.25kHz / 12.5kHz / 25kHz (band width). This is why they can not be entered into your scanner .If you had a communications receiver like an ICOM R10 you could enter these in because the band width can be adjusted from 0.10kHz -to- 100kHz. But there is no need to do this .

Ok ... Mike .. I am sorry I did not understand your questionthe first time you asked. I understand that you have a BC72XLT scanner. If so, you can only program in frequencies in these bands : 25-to-54 mHz / 108-to-174mHz / 216-to-225mHz / 406-to-512mHz . It is not an 800mHz TRUNKING scanner.
