I've had mine for over 20 years and I'm really glad I didn't get rid of it. Thanks to my aunt who gave it to me. You made programming made simple.

I'm a newb. Bought a used Bearcat 245. I live in Orange County, CA. Trying to figure out how to scan a trunked system (OC Sheriff) and I'm having a difficult time. It's not listed simply by frequencies. I'm getting a lot of 5 digit numbers and can't decode them to plug them in as frequencies.

Maybe some of you radio enthusiastic can help me out with this question. I work at a prison and our main prison is on Channel 1 but where I typically work which is that the Work Release Center we are on channel 4. My question is when you change channels are you tuning into a different frequency or are you going to a different part of the original frequency?

Some scanners only display 6 numbers even though some freqs are 7 numbers. In my experience, the scanner will usually still pick up the freq even though you only entered the first 6 numbers. I have a 25 year old scanner that still works and it only accepts 6 digits. I'm monitoring a 7 digit channel with it and it works very well.

What is a "control frequency"? my county has eight of them. Do I enter all of them? I am using ARC-XT for my BCD396xt and I am very confused because when I enter just the frequencies I do not pick up anything. KNT4176 -(My old CB License from the 70')

Control frequencies are for trunking. Depending on the system you are using and if it is encrypted you will need the key to listen.

Trunking frequencies are 700 and 800mhz. Vhf and uhf typically will. It have encryption other than dpl and ctss tones.
