    Good scanner, hard to program!
    5 Stars
    Good scanner, hard to program!
    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!It has a range of 10-20 miles
