How do i reset a uniden bearcat handheld scanner

How do I enter a decimal on an old Bearcat scanner 101..it doesn't have decimal points just flip switches 1-16? Help this was my granfathers and I'm so into this but can't pick anything up

around 1995

You may download a copy of the manual here.

The operating manual has a copyright date of 1995, so manufacture would be that or a year or 2 later. My guess is '95 though, as that model did not have a long production run..

my uniden/bearcat (model bc60xlt-1 will turn on, i hear the squelch,but it does not scan- how do i get, and program the codes for my area?

To program the majority of non-trunking Bearcat scanners,\:

- Power the scanner ON
- Press MANUAL to stop scanning
- Enter the channel # to program followed by MANUAL (OR just press MANUAL repeatedly to advance to the desired channel).
- Enter the desired frequency, including the decimal point.
- Press E (ENTER)

If these steps don't work with your scanner, please provide your model number and I'll get back to you with specifics.

The best frequency database is at

www.radioreference.com

Channels have to be programmed with a frequency before the scanner will allow them to be unlocked. The L/O indicator should automatically turn off once a frequency is in memory.

The BC60CXLT is a 10-channel scanner. Here is a link to the owners manual:
