Railfan Scanner Uniden BCT15X - Installation in FJ Cruiser

Speaking of preamplifiers I use one's designed for cable TV because they have better filtering and you'll hear a hell of a lot better than that piece of shit that you are using now that m75 doesn't work at all whatsoever it in fact can damage the front end receiver of your radio and when that happens you have nothing but a paperweight because it will completely go deaf then that means you have to either replace it or send it in to have it fixed I had done that to Mine by accident and yeah it did happen because somehow it gets screwed up with not having shielding inside the damn radio itself which is total bullshit I hate the fact that these radios are that cheap where it doesn't take much to burn it out so I won't be doing that unless I get a cable TV amplifier which does a hell of a lot better and it auto Tunes the gain so it won't burn out your front end of the radio‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Excellent How-To video, Rowan. I really enjoyed this one.

I've got a 30-channel programmable handheld scanner from Radio Shack that I've had since 1996. Back when I got my 2014 Grand Cherokee, the Jeep came with an audio port for plugging in MP3 players, etc. I just plug in an audio cable from the scanner's headphones port and listen to the scanner through my Jeep's speakers when I'm driving or just hanging out in the Jeep like when I'm in Fostoria and enjoying a tailgate dinner while watching trains.

This video is crazy awesome. I was looking into scanners on amazon for something to use in the car. I was using a handheld years ago with a whip antenna on a large conversion van. Now getting back into it, I found your video and I happen to also be a FJ Cruiser owner. So this video was perfect. Thank you!

Nice setup Rowan. I use the Uniden BC355N and traintenna setup and it works great also. I usually sit at the church across from where you were at. Might see ya around one of these days. Great video

Nice neat & tidy work Rowan, just the way I like it too! Excellent video and narration. Well done! 👍👍👍

Very nice setup! I tend to go what I call the “easy way” and just connect a handheld scanner straight to my car’s stereo and power it through a 12V socket.

Really Cool! Nice job in installation and thanks for sharing!

Rowan,excellent tutorial,and well presented! This would be for someone who got a scanner for Christmas and had no idea,how to install it! Great,and more power to you!! Thanks again for your time! 😇

I was impressed that your radio setup picked up the MP 134 defect detector loud in clear from Stuart's Draft MP 153. Excellent work!

Great info rowan! Thanks for sharing with us. I was hoping for a video post from you this morning and i wasn't disappointed. Take care my friend and God bless!

Smart to have the Best Equipment you can afford to use with your Railfanning Hobby. 👍
