What to do if my Uniden Scanner doesn’t work?
If your Uniden scanner isn’t working, it might not be receiving power. Ensure the AC adapter is correctly connected to both the AC outlet and the scanner. If connected correctly, the display should light up and cycle when you repeatedly press the [VOL] button. Also, if the AC outlet is controlled by a wall switch, ensure that the switch is turned on.
Why won't my Uniden BCT15 stop scanning?
If your Uniden scanner won't stop scanning, consider these potential causes: * The squelch threshold might need adjustment. * The antenna connection might need to be checked. * One or more channels might be locked out. * The channel’s frequency might not be stored in memory. * The channel might not be active, so wait for a transmission.
Why is my Uniden Scanner reception so bad?
Poor reception on your Uniden Scanner could be due to the antenna needing adjustment. Check the antenna connection, or try moving or repositioning the antenna. Also, try moving the scanner to a different location. If you are in a remote area, you might need a multi-band antenna.
Why won’t my Uniden BCT15 track a trunked system?
If your Uniden scanner won’t track a trunked system: * Change to another system and try scanning that system. * Enter the data frequency. * Program one or more ID’s or use the ID Search mode. * Wait for the ID’s to become active or scan another system.
Why is my Uniden BCT15 not acquiring the data channel?
If your Uniden scanner isn’t acquiring the data channel, the squelch might need adjustment. Also, check your frequency list for the data channel, as the frequency used for the data channel might be missing.
What to do if my Uniden BCT15 Scanner has missing replies to conversations?
If your Uniden scanner has missing replies to conversations: * Make sure all the system’s frequencies have been entered. * Try another preset fleet map or program your own fleet map.
Why does the weather scan not work on my Uniden Scanner?
If the weather scan isn’t working on your Uniden scanner, the squelch might need adjustment, or the antenna connection may need to be checked. Additionally, there might not be a NOAA weather broadcast in your current area, so try moving to an area with a NOAA weather broadcast.
