I need to find scanner codes for a handheld scanner

Most Ham Radio outlet stores sell current frequency lists--depending on type of scanner you have (trunking, digital etc) you may be able to program not to mention doing a search mode for the scanner.

Yours is a fairly simple one to program, and the best instructions are in the factory manual that you can download and print, at no cost, here:

BTW, they're frequencies, not codes, and you can find a great database for your area at:

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?

There are no codes, only frequencies, and you can find a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area, along with a lot of other useful scanning information, by visiting:

If local law enforcement is using trunking, digital transmissions, or P25 security, you'll need a scanner that offers those features. Still, there are security systems, such as DES and DVP, that you cannot "get around" with any scanner. For digital trunking and P25 decoding, check out the Bearcat BCD396XT handheld and the Bearcat BCD996XT base/mobile.

Do you know how to enter the freq's into you scanner?
