I was unable to locate a manual, but this is a basic 16-channel scanner, and the frequency coverage is probably listed on the ID plate. To program, turn the scanner ON and use the MANUAL button to stop scanning and to advance the scanner to the channel that you want to program. Enter the frequency that you want to program, including the decimal, then push the E (Enter) key. Use the MANUAL key to advance to the next channel, and program as above.
For an extensive database of active frequencies in your area, visit www.RadioReference.com or www.CityFreq.com
1. Press Manual 1 Manual
2. Enter a frequency
3. Press E
4. Press Manual
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 as needed
6. When you finish the programming steps press Scan
do you have a button marked "prgm" if not, then push the manual button until it gets to the channel you want to program, then enter the freq ie... 155.xxx and hit enter, don't forget the decimal point .
The BC147XLT is too old to obtain a manual from Uniden, but here's how you program it:
Turn it on & press 'Manual', then enter the number of the channel you wish to program & press 'Manual' again. Now enter the frequency you want to put in that channel, example 155.550, and press "Enter'. Then press manual to go to the next channel or repeat the first procedure to select a different channel other than the next one. Repeat the programming procedure for each channel.
