  • Good scanner, hard to program!
Pattern: Scanner
It’s a really good scanner Once you get it programmed properly! I watched several videos of other buyers that had programmed this scanner, and I was able to fumble through it OK. Then I had problems with it just scanning the channels that I programmed into it only without it scanning every frequency known to mankind! There is a learning curve to programming these scanners! But once you finally get through the stress and headache of getting the channels programmed that you only wanna listen to, it’s a fantastic scanner. This is not a phase 2 scanner so don’t expect it to scan them type of digital frequencies. For the price, it covers pretty much all the channel ranges in conventional programming. It would be nice if they could figure out a way to invent these things so all you had to do is put the frequencies in and the scanner would figure out the rest however, it’s never that easy. So what did I do? I bought the digital version of this scanner the BCD996 P2 of which I got at an excellent price also. Amazingly, that scanner is very similar to programming as the BC T15X. However, once again I had to watch several videos on programming to get it right. I like bearcat scanners, and I like the versatility and the fact that it is mobile as well as suitable for a base. Do not expect to just pull it out of the box and be able to program it with ease, as that is not an option! Fortunately, I did not have to pay to have someone Program it or ship it to someone for programming. It can be programmed by you! ... show more

  • Great scanner choice for me
Pattern: Scanner
I have mostly analog systems in my area and decided to go with this (BCT15X) scanner. For a stress free setup, I used the freescan software and picked the frequencies complete with the descriptions etc from Radioreference. Didn't take long and I was up and running. This scanner comes in very strong and clear. Pleased with my purchase at a decent price. Can't imagine trying to program this thing without the software though. ... show more

  • Not that hard to program manually!!
Pattern: Scanner
First of all I've only owned one scanner in my life and it was the old style non-trunking Type scanner.. Also like other reviewers have said I would be playing it safe and if you plan to order this make sure you order it from Amazon.com directly that way you know you will definitely get the model you paid for BCT 15 X.. There is a difference between the BCT 15 and the BCT 15 X!! And it's funny that the BCT 15 X is cheaper then the other model.. Okay on with the scanner absolutely love this thing.. I had no idea on how to do trunking or what it was or how to program it nothing!! I did my research.. If you go to YouTube and type in Uniden BCT 15 X there is a handful of videos that show you how to program this manually enough to get you started with basic trunking. I live in Portland Oregon where here we use Motorola type II trunking Systems. I watch the videos off and on for about a week and did my research for the Frequencies and talk group IDs in my area in Portland. And just watch the videos on YouTube also the bcd996xt scanner Programs basically exactly the same way as the BCT 15 X .. I learned that from the videos to. Finally I went ahead and ordered it When I got it the first thing I had to do was go into the system make my System for what I was going to scan in Oregon. Again just watch the videos for a few times off and on and it's not hard at all! Apparently most places now in bigger cities use 800 MHz trunking. So I had to re-band the scanner for 800 MHz. Keep in mind I have no computer to hook this thing up to For doing software updates or programming it. The re-banding took me literally maybe a minute and a half. Again YouTube video shows you exactly how to do it. Then I typed in my 4 control channel frequencies. Then I typed in a few talk group IDs that I want to try out first to listen to. And hit the scan button.. and there you have it I was receiving my Portland trucking system PD..fire Departments.. it works great and it wasn't hard to do.. As for the sound quality of this thing is absolutely unbelievably clear. It comes of all the accessories and wires and cables to use it in your car. or use it as a home base unit which is what I'm doing with it.. I've read some of the reviews here and Some people say that they weren't sure on how the sound quality would be if you used it as a base unit because yes the speaker is on the bottom of the unit!! But they Forget to mention that it comes with a bracket that is used for mounting in your car or truck and it just so happens that same bracket works for your base unit sitting on your table. It props up the unit at an angle that is adjustable. It works great on any surface I keep mine on my nightstand next to my bed. And I can angle the unit how I wish. Sound quality?? you can't even tell the speaker is on the bottom!! And the unit looks good to.. One of the best toys I've ever bought for $180.00 I like the fact that you can put names pretty much for everything. In the system. Name it how you want to name it whether it be the system name the scanner frequency name what you're listening to it's very easy to use the Alpha tag naming on this!! It does take a little while to get used to how everything works like pressing the buttons and where everything is at. If you go online there's a very cool free user manual that you can download in PDF format or just look it up on the Internet and bookmark it. Type in easier to read BCT 15 X user manual. The way that the manual is laid out is very cool because when it talks about something you can hit the highlighted area and it takes you right to that section on the how-to and back again to where you left off reading. Because this thing does not come with pretty much any type of user manual. Like I said I've owned one scanner in my life and it was the old-style and I was up and listening to this scanner in about less than 15 minutes!! YouTube YouTube YouTube that's all you have to do!! And you can get the frequencies for your area and the talk group IDs off the Internet I went to radio reference.com.. This is Definitely the best scanner out there that I can imagine on the market!! Don't be intimidated by the scanner and the people saying that it's a nightmare to manually program..those people chances are they didn't do any type of research or even bother to try and find online How to videos YouTube!!!!! Anyways great scanner easy to MANUALLY!! Program If you just take some time while you're waiting for it to show up on your doorstep to Watch some videos and do some research About what's used in your area. You'll absolutely love this thing once you get used to working it.. All this from somebody who has only owned one Low end old-style scanner in his lifetime Short life I'm only 36.. Just make sure you buy it from Amazon only!!! That way you know you're getting what you paid for!! UPDATE DAME THIS THING IS AMAZING!!!! It really upsets me that people I'm not going to mention names just scroll to the bottom of the screen towards the last one star review. Complaining That it can't pick up anything even if you're sitting in front of the station. Well newsflash it's Not going to pick up anything even if you're inside the freaking police station If you don't have it Programmed right!!!! This is only my First high-end trunking scanner. And like I said earlier I don't even own a computer to Program this thing I did all manually.. Anyway I can't believe how great this scanner is. Law-enforcement I get to hear every thing and then some! I hear Stakeouts .swat team. Police pursuits.. Undercover operations.. A lot of stuff that's pretty crazy. And in my town . listening to the scanner is almost more entertaining than Watching my TV!!! I've owned this scanner now for about a month. And I feel like A pro scanner enthusiast.. You simply have to buy this Scanner!!! There is a little bit of a learning curve.. But if you're willing to Just take the time To do a little research.. Believe me you will be rewarded greatly For your efforts.. I am just sorry that I waited so long to pull the trigger on buying This scanner... ... show more

  • A real challenge to program
Pattern: Scanner
Without a doubt the most difficult scanner I've ever had to program. The unit seems to be packed with features, and is no doubt a good value for the price (under $180), but the owners guide is on a CD, no written instructions, and if all you want to do with it is punch in 50 or 60 local frequencies..... well, be prepared for a struggle. I am almost ready to give up and send it in to Uniden and just let them program the damned thing. Might be fun if you're an electronics/scanner geek, but for the rest of us...... it ain't like the old scanners. ... show more
