Good Luck

To enter a known frequency (they're not codes) into your scanner:
- Power the unit ON
- Press the MANUAL key
- Enter a channel number (01 - 30)
- Press MANUAL
- Enter the frequency, including decimal point (e.g., 438.065)
- Press E

More detailed programming is outlined in the scanner operating instructions, which you can download and print here:

from manufacturers site take scan code sheet, you will just find there programming scan codes, one for start programming, another to terminate auto entry and third to terminate programming. that is correct procedure if scannig is automatically set in scanner, if scanning is in your database on other hand, you need to re-write that bit which insert your code to database/spreedsheet automatically and change it to manual, as i do not know which of these method you use, i cannot be more specific.

try scanner first! usually scanner is programmed on automatic.

To enter a known frequency into your scanner:

- Power the scanner ON
- Press HOLD to stop scanning.
- Enter the number of the channel that you wish to program.
- Pres the FUNC and PGM keys.
- Enter the frequency, including decimal point.
- Press E to enter the information into memory.

For more information on programming and operating your scanner, you can download/print the operating manual here:

There should have been a sheet or book of bar codes that came with your scanner. These codes will allow you to program your scanner to do most anything, including adding a tab. You simply look at the bar codes and read what they do. you simply scan the one that adds a tab and it will forever add the tab unless you re program it.

If you have lost your book/bar code page, you should be able to go to the manufacturer website and download/print a document with the programmable bar codes.

Programming the 248 is fairly simple once you know the steps.
- Turn the scanner ON
- Press the MANUAL key to stop scanning
- Enter the channel number that you wish to program (01, 02, etc.)
- Press MANUAL
- Enter your frequency, including the decimal point (e.g. 156.055)
- Press E to confirm
- Press MANUAL to advance to the next channel

If your scanner is the BC350C (the section you posted in), here's a link to the owner's manual which will give you detailed programming information:

If you have a different model Bearcat scanner, try:

1. Push MANUAL to stop scanning and advance to the channel that you want to program.

2. Enter the desired frequency, including the decimal point (e.g., 156.015).

3. Press E or ENTER to set the frequency.

4. Repeat the process, starting with 1 above to select the channel.

NOTE: With some Bearcat scanners you may need to press the E or ENTER key before entering your frequency.

These are general steps that work on most recent Bearcat models. If they don't work on yours, try different variations. You can also check Uniden.com -- they may have an online manual that you can download and print.

press the "prog" key followed by the "Trunk" key then the number "1" key.
Press the "down arrow" key until you see the initials Ed on the screen
Press the "E" key.
Enter the frequencies (including the decimals)
you must press the E key and the Prog key after each frequency, after you finish entering your frequencies, press the scan key.

If you need to clear your scanner, turn it off, press and hold down the number 2 and number 9 keys, while holding them down turn the scanner back on, "clear" should start flashing on the screen, once "clear" stops flashing you can enter the frequencies.

Hello bettyduke, here is the manual for your radio, the info you need is on pg. 11 and 12.

Guest, I have looked and I didn't find a manual to download for free but the programming should be fairly simple. On my 248 I just manually go to whatever channel I want to program, then punch in the freq. # including the decimal point. Then push a button that says E or enter and wa-laa it's in the memory.

Here is a list of freq's for whatever state and county you live in,,,
