To determine what frequencies to program into your BC75XLT scanner, you need to know which frequencies are used in your area. There are several ways to find this information:
- Check online: There are several websites that provide frequency information for different areas. You can search for your area and find a list of frequencies that are commonly used. Some popular websites for this information include RadioReference.com and ScannerMaster.com.
- Use local resources: Contact your local police or fire department and ask them for a list of frequencies that they use. They may be able to provide you with this information directly, or direct you to a resource that can.
- Use a frequency counter: You can use a frequency counter or scanner to scan the airwaves in your area and identify active frequencies. This can be a time-consuming process, but it can be effective in identifying new or infrequently used frequencies.
Once you have a list of frequencies for your area, you can program them into your BC75XLT scanner using the manual that came with the device. The manual will provide instructions on how to program frequencies and set up channels. You can also find online resources and tutorials on how to program specific frequencies into your scanner.
