Uniden BCT15X Scanner - Guide for using in The UK

Love mine great video, lots of people end up selling them because they find them hard to work out, but once you get your head around it, it’s great and one of the best scanners iv ever had, this video says it all in one easy and understanding way, so to people that’s got one please give it time and keep it as you will learn and get used to it, as like I said once you got it around in ya head, it’s great and has the best reception and receiving iv ever used, as long as you got a half decent antenna.

This video helped me a lot when I got the BCT 15x and I love the scanner. Where I live in Lydd Kent I am a mile from the local Lydd airport where besides the airports goings on there is the Coastguard helicopter. I can hear the chopper warming up from my house, then I switch the scanner onto the airband and listen to the crew speaking on Polycon. I can hear the crew as far west as Beachy Head and sometimes as far as Margate eastwards. I also listen to the Coastguard helicopter on the marine band. Where I live three miles from Dungeness I can listen to traffic on both sides of the English channel on the marine band which is fascinating. There were a few Mayday calls last year involving the French Navy tug based in Boulogne bringing ships in for repairs after a collision. There was one ship last year just off of the coast of Folkstone where a boulder barge collided with a freighter. The ship was badly damaged and 11 crew members had to be rescued by the helicopter. Myself and my wife listened for most of the day to Dover coastguard, the lifeboats, the Coastguard helicopter on polycon. The ship was towed to Boulogne by the French navy tug. An interesting day all round thanks to the scanner. My antenna is a discone 1300 that I have had for over 25 years. Sorry for waffling and my thanks go to xtratalk 1 for his help in my learning. I use the Freescan software for the programming which is free on u tube. Good luck..73s...

I've not had much luck since getting my new bct15x in programmeing etc etc after writeing on one of your previous video posts , but after watching this video , wow ! Excellent video , learnt a lot , any more videos like this , explaining a few things would be great ! I've subscribed to your channel , so hopefully you will post a few more ! Thanks for the videos , a lot of us would be lost without them 👍

Just what I was looking for, thank you for such valuable information.

Many thanks for this upload,saved me a lot of time trying to programme my bct 15x,much appreciated..

Hi thanks for the information Best Regards Tim

Thank you for this valuable information, it seams a good scanner.

Excellent video to start me off, then i got freescan to program and was given a few files, then moved on and got Squawker and linked that with Zopkins interlink and a dedicated cable, that was well worth doing as when its set up if it lands on a station in the airband it shows you what it is, you can then save it as a file and upload it.

hello my countrymen it is a great presentation on the scanner thumbs up happy new year

Great video ... very helpful !

Thank you so much this is very helpful.

Hi, Great vid for the first timers with this complex beast ! The box should just have a link to this video rather than the useless manual on a disc. I went down the software route as i think you saw from my video as i could not figure it out via the manual prog method initially!

What antenna are you using and what location are your?? Thanks
