State-by-State Scanning
The
BCT15X comes preprogrammed with many of the channels used by local police, department of transportation, and highway patrol agencies, organized by state. You can also assign a state to the systems you program so that they can be included in State-by-State scanning.
Selecting your State
To select your state, tap
FUNCTION (the scroll knob) then tap the Volume control. Rotate the scroll knob to select your state, then press
E to make your selection. The scanner unlocks any systems you have set to the selected state, locks out systems that are set to a different state, and uses the current state preprogrammed data during state-by-state scanning.
Using the Built-In State-by-State Agencies
To use the built-in State-by-State agencies, repeatedly tap
DOT/POL/PRI and
(Bear Paw)/HP/ALT until the desired agency type's icon shows in the bottom row of the display:
PL — Local Police
DT — Department of Transportation
HP — Highway Patrol
BT —
BearTracker Warning System
After scanning your programmed systems, the
BCT15X will scan the enabled state-by-state agencies, then resume scanning your programmed systems.
To stop State-by-State scanning, repeat the above until all four icons are turned off.
