BC346XT: XTC - new and HELP!

[jeffgon]

Ok, so, new to the forum... and this is probably covered somewhere, but I cant seem to find it.

I am a total beginner with this stupid thing. Bought it on Amazon and I have no idea how to use it. I pretty much want to use it to scan family radios and I have no idea how to program it to do so. Is there an easy tutorial? I've heard of programs to program it? Please, I need all the help I can get!

Thank you!

Hi Jeff
Welcome to RadioReference

There is an easier to read manual, which does have step by step programming instructions, and a lot more:
Easier to Read BC346XT Scanner Manual
(The only difference between the 346XT and 346XTC is that the was modified to conform to California requirements as to power supply and battery charging.)
