BCT15X programming 800mhz part 1 

Thank you for your videos Nicholas, they've really helped me quite a bit!! I'm having issues getting the trunking operation going on my bct15x... I'm learning thanks to you, but a bit slower, lol... Thanks again!!

Thank you for you showing how to program BCT15X it help me a lot. I have older trunk scanner they where easy but this new one like you said no manual. Thank you.

Hello Nicholas,,I know these videos have been up for awhile,,But finally got into programing the Trunks in my area MANUALLY,,,,,,Which made me rip out my hair for a bit,,LOL.....Thnx for the video it was a HUGE help,,,Happy Listening

setting an offset to 440..+ or - ??

Can you do one on EDACS programming. I’m having a hell of a time figuring this out

Hey, can't get my scanner to read my state... keeps reading Alabama. How can I change that? Also I noticed with my other scanner the Bearcat BC 245 XLT that if I have both on at the same time one picks certain channels up that the other one isn't and then vice versa. Is that just because the one can't scan as fast as a different one? Or the delay on the 15x needs to change? Still love my bc245 xlt. Keep them both on off duty all day and night lol.

You must be scanning Marlboro County...LOL

I know this is a year old, but I'm hoping you can still help me out. This video is a HUGE help. But after I get to Ban Plan and set it the next thing comes up asking me to chose "+Polarity or -Polarity" how do I know what to pick?

Trying to program a Motorola trbo system and it’s 400 mhz. Having a hard time. I was all in with your vid until program 800 mhz. Can ya help?

Is this compatible with Motorola P25 Phase II systems?

I have the BC785D and for +20 Years it has been working Even after I accidently Broke the Volume Knob --- it still works. On Ebay the $price is Way Too Much. I bought mine from Ham Radio Outlet from Used sales.

Hey, what's the best antenna to use for this?

The Vacaville/Fairfield system in Solano. Nice!

Dont forget to turn off search put on scan if not it will keep search all the frequencies

My 2006 BCT 15 came with a nice manual/book

Why do you need two band plans?

When I go to set my base frequencies it says out of band what does that mean?

You are so right thanks for a really good brake down it helps a lot thanks

The radio does come with a manual, it is on the disc you get in the box but bothered not to use.

Can you do me a favor? I'm going to set up a BCT15X for a person in Snohomish County, Marysville Washington. Can you take a look and tell me if I have to set up the band plan for it like you did in this video? I have never done that when I had my BCT15X I just put in the 800 trunking system and it seem to work just fine thanks for the help

well crap.. one of them just all of a sudden started with no audio out of speaker or head phone jack.. did a full reset and then re-cloned it but it didnt help anything.. ever had anything like that happen ??

Thank Mr. Sparks. I just needed to watch your vid, while cross reference radioreference, while programming my scanner. Do you have any pointers on good antennas for big trucks that will not draw attention?

Very nice briefing great information. I am still struggling and need more detail. How can I get more help with MOT SN II programming?

Great informative video. Awesome.

my bct15x scanner just got into FMB mode and I can't figure out how to get it out and back to scanning my channels Can you help ???

Nicholas I just tried programming my new BCT15X scanner while watching your video step by step. I entered everything correctly but when I tried to listen to it I got no hits on the channels or groups I had programmed into it. I had my old scanner hooked up and listening when I activated my new BCT15X but I did not hear anything that was coming over my old scanner. My other question would be do I need to enter the analog channels in also in order for my new scanner to work?

Is that band plan universal for all 800mHz systems? If not, how do I figure out my band plan? I have it all set up in Freescan, since I don't have my scanner yet, but I wanted to set it all up so that I can just upload it when it comes.

Excellent Job.

I have bearcat 346xt. They are very similar in programming. With mine you only need to input "control" freqs, but not every freq. Have you tried doing that? I am considering getting the 15x. Good video.

I DID EVERYTHING YOU SUGGESTED AND MY SCANNER STILL SAYS NOTHING TO SCAN IN SCAN MODE . WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? PLEASE HELP I AM ABOUT TO GET PISSED OFF ! LOL !

Can you explain to me how to set this up on a Uniden HomePatrol 2? I have all the tower locations and info needed just need to know how to do it.

What polarity for offset?

went through through the steps and I dont have a step to edit band plan and cant get quick key to show up on the screen

Good video. Thanks!

Your town uses smartnet my town they use smartzone do you know how to set up a smartzone system?

If i pay the $70 provoice 1 country programming fee from uniden must i still have to do this?

Following the programming to the letter off Video but still cannot get anything.....Not working.

hehe cigarette scanner stand :3

Why not just buy/use the GPS?

Poor audio

Audio almost inaudible

MARKSSCANNER DON'T HELP MUCH EITHER.
