How can I program a Uniden scanner for the 849.0125-868.9875 MHz

First thing to try is to change the "squelch" setting. If you squelch is set wrong, you will hear static all the time and the scanner may not scan. Turn the squelch until you no longer hear the static and the scanner scans.

The ERROR message usually indicates that you've tried to program a frequency outside the scanner's tuning range. The BC60XLT top tuning range is the 512 MHz band, so you cannot tune any 800 MHz frequencies. For further information you can download and print the factory manual, at no cost, here:

First, make sure that you have the correct frequency for your local police. You can find a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area by visiting:
www.Reference.com

Program the frequency or frequencies using the instructions in the scanner's operating manual. and you should be all set. If you need the manual, you can download and print it, at no cost, here:

NOTE: If the frequency database shows that your local police are using a trunked system, you will not be able to monitor them using the BC60XLT-1. Trunked systems require a trunking scanner. Many law enforcement agencies are also using digital systems for their communications. If that's the case in your area you'll need a scanner capable of monitoring APCO-25 digital transmissions.

The BC95XLT is fairly simple to program, and you can find detailed instructions in the factory manual which you can download and print here at no cost:

Try tuning known frequencies, such as the NOAA weather channels, to verify the working condition of your scanner. If it picks them up, you don't have your local police system/frequencies programmed properly. If there's no reception, even on NOAA, you have an antenna or receiver problem that may need professional attention.

In case you need it, you can download/print the manual for your scanner here:

Check out this site:
http://www.rfwiz.com/Frequencies/Maine/MaineTownsCounties.htm

They got a load of frequencies there.
Here are some distress frequencies that are world-wide:

Civil Aviation: 121.5 MHz
Military Aviation: 243 MHz
Short Range Maritime: 156.8 MHz
Medium Range Maritime: 2182 KHz

Bear in mind that you can only tune into some of these if your scanner is able to pick up the frequencies.
