Ah, programming a Uniden Bearcat 30 channel 10 band radio scanner is like painting a happy little tree. First, you'll want to carefully read the user manual to understand the steps. Then, you can start by entering the frequencies you want to monitor and saving them into the channels. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in learning something new.

How to Program Channels Into a Uniden BC45XLT Scanner

The Uniden BC45XLT scanner is a hand-held unit that runs on battery or AC power. The scanner can be programmed with police frequencies, city worker frequencies, transit frequencies and fire frequencies available in your local area. Weather broadcast channels are already pre-programmed into the scanner. The scanner has 20 programmable channels. The Bearcat scanner comes with a list of frequencies, or you can find local frequencies from Radio Reference in the Resource section. Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

InstructionsThings You'll Need:
  • Local scanner frequencies
  • Press the "Manual" button on the front of the scanner. Enter the channel number on the keypad that you want to program and press "Manual" again. (page 14)
  • Use the keypad to enter the frequency including the decimal. After you enter the number, press "E" for enter. Press the "-" key on the keypad if you make a mistake or enter a duplicate frequency to clear the number and start over.
  • Press "Scan" after you have all of the frequencies entered and the scanner begins to scan. When an active frequency is found, the scanner stops on that channel and stays there as long as there is communication.
  • Use "L/O" (lockout) for channels that are not communicating anything important. For instance, if one of your police departments has an open mike, the scanner will stay on that channel and not scan. By pressing the lockout button, the scanner skips that channel. To reactivate that channel, press "Manual" and use the arrow up or down key to find the channel that was locked out and press "L/O" again to reactivate the channel. The channel that was locked out will say, "L/O" on the bottom of the screen. (page 18)
  • Listen to the National Weather Service channel by pressing the "WX" button on the front of the scanner. Continue pressing the "WX" button until you hear a weather channel. To start scan again, press "Scan."

There are several ways. First, turn the scanner on and adjust the squelch so that it is quite. Then press the manual button to flip through the 16 channels. Stop on the channel you want to program. Then, type in the frequency followed by the "E" key on the lower right of the keypad. Hit the manual button to move to the next channel and repeat the process above.

You can also "scan" for a frequency. Here is how: Use the manual button to get to one of the channels. Now type in "120.0 followed by pressing the "limit" button. Now type in "125.0" and press the "limit" button again. Now press the "scan" button. The scanner will now search all frequencies between 120.0 and 125.0 on that channel and will pause and listen should a transmission happen. You can do this "limit" scan for any frequency range that the scanner is capable of receiving. Once you hear a transmission, you can press the "hold" button to stay on that received frequency. Pressing the "E" button will lock that frequency into that channel.
