First make sure that you have taken the squelch filter off You should the at least hear the hissing sound or white noise of the radio

If no white noise is hear when the squelch circuit is off try using an earphone It is possible the internal speaker is isolated by the earphone tab not reconnecting to internal speaker.

Please rate the help++++Thanks for using FIXYA.

Here's the link for your manual It's 3.71mb http://www.uniden.com/pdf/BC60XLT-1om.pdf . The manual is written for "People" not "engineers" If you still have problems, post a reply and I can help further. Hope this helps

You'll need to program the radio frequencies into your scanner before it will scan . For a list of frequencies in Anoka County CLICK HERE .
For specific programing instructions for your UNIDEN refer to your owner's manual. They will give you a step by step instruction on how to program the frequencies into your scanner memory (If you need a manual, CLICK HERE
...be sure to select the scanner option on their pull-down menu.
THEN when you have the radio frequencies stored into your scanner, you'll be able to press scan and away you go.
Be sure to adjust the squelch just high enough to eliminate the static...turn the squelch counterclockwise until you hear loud static, then turn Clockwise just enough to silence static...
Let us know if you still have trouble.

If you want police "ten codes" you can get a list online via a google search. IF you want radio frequencies for your local police, fire, ambulance etc, you can enter a google search for "radio frequencies" and the name of your county, state, city.. it will give you a list of frequencies ...print the list and then enter them into your scanner.
keep for reference..

you need to know the frequency you want to listen in on like local fire police and sheriff and ambulance channels you can go to bear-cat web site and they have a company there that will give you the scanner frequencies in your area code so you can store then to listen to them, you can also get the Freq. for the 1.2 million UN peace keepers in the U.S. as well. However you need to im put the frequencies manually and you need the manual so go to the web site for the uniden it's http://www.uniden.com and read how to store the freq. codes in the scanner. it will tell you how many you can store I think it's up to 10.

Here is the manual:

it's illegal, and there is no mods

www.uniden.com This is a good place to start. You can usually view or download the owner's manual in pdf format. Good luck.

if it has a wx or weather button press that to see if the scanner is working ok, if you get the weather radio ok then you can get your local freqencies at www.radioreference.com click database, then your state, then your county and a list will come up of your local frequencies.

Yes, lock out the frequency, or wait until digital broadcast comes int effect. DTV will be effective in 2009 where all television broadcasts must be done by cable or satellite. This means no antenna broadcasts.

Should have a button that reads "PROGRAM". Push it first, then enter your frequency (example 154.55). Then push button marked "ENTER".
Depending on the frequency range that you entered it will take it or state Error. Let me know how you do.

Check Batt, and adapter connections. Remove Batt's then try only adapter. if it works your ok. or the other way. remove electric and try batt. if it works yours ok. if all fails...buy new radio, Seriously.
their a dime a dozen these days. Oh might try turning on off knob real fast, could be dirt in the pot.

The scanner was probably turned off and it forgot what frequencies were programed into it. Older scanners have a problem with retaining their memory when they are shut off. Most of the older scanners have a memory back-up battery that helps the scanner retain its memory. Check and see if this battery is still good. As for your frequencies, you'll have to reprogram the scanner. To put it in technical terms, some older scanners have what is called RAM (Regency Alterable Memory) and ROM (Regency Organized Memory), when you turn off you scanner, this memory is erased, along with your programmed channels. Be sure not to turn off your scanner unless you're willing to reprogram the scanner.
