how do you program a bc60xlt scanner, and how do you reset it i have tried 2,9 manual but nothing i have the battery out and see if that work but how long do i leave them out.thanks

Yes, it does sound like a bad power transformer. Try powering it using a DC supply or battery and see if the hum goes away.

I had a scanner with 800mhz .. programed it to scan from 900.000
to 800.000 .. between those freqs. ..found several calls ... from cell phones .. but that was not what I was looking for ... I just ran into it by accident.

Police Officers ...from all agencies .. monitor cell phones .. all the time so if it illegal for citizens to do it , it should be for them also but I under the impression judges turn a blind eye to that fact.

Hi, first, you can only listen to analog radios on this scanner, so if you local or state public servants went to digital, you are out of luck. You can still receive National Weather Service, most railroads, ham radio operators and any small town police and fire that have remained on analog VHF and UHF. Do a Google search and you can get the instruction book for the radio. As far as channels, search for Radio Reference dot com and search for your state and county. That will list the channels to enter into your radio. Good luck and have fun.

You've got a great idea for a great invention, but that would probably be a privacy violation unless they called you and you could use their caller ID. Sorry about that. Scotty

Even if your scanner can manage to receive the frequencies, you would not be able to hear what people are saying. only the first generations of cell phones were analog and you could hear on side of the connection. Today all pone communication is digital, encrypted and you only can receive a phone close enough to you, to hear just a rattling noise. Modern phones are working close to and above 2 Ghz. A frequency, most scanners can't receive.

here is the manual it was an easy search on web

Hit Manual first, then type in Frequency, then press Enter
