When you press the manual button and then enter numbers it thinks you are entering channel numbers not frequencies.
Try manual button and then prog button.
Then enter the frequencies.
Hope this helps
If you programmed the correct frequency, you should be getting reception. Check www.RadioReference.com to verify the frequency. Otherwise, you may be too far from the transmitter to receive signals. Try your scanner in other locations, check your antenna, and try receiving the PD on another scanner.
The MARCS - Ohio Multi-Agency Radio Communications system - is a Motorola Type II SmartZone Omnilink Trunking system that utilizes APCO-25 digital transmissions. Your BC145XL is not compatible with trunking or digital systems. In order to follow the MARCS you will need one of the following scanners: GRE PSR-500, PSR-600 Radio Shack PRO-106, PRO-197, PRO-96, PRO-2096 Uniden BC250D, BC785D, BC296D, BC796D, BCD396T, BCD396T, BCD996T, BCD996XT, or the brand new HomePatrol-1
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.
