Can't Get Bearcat 248clt scanner to Squlech - Radio Communications

If it is a new scanner and I were having that problem I would use the warrenty and send it back to them to repair . Now if you did anything to it they will still repair it but you will be charged.

It works the same as all the old scanners a 178 manual will do also here is a link, just click on the blue user manual like under second pic.

Hello, the good news, though, is that all Uniden/Bearcat scanners in the 14X series are nearly identical in features and operation, so you can follow the link below to download/print the manual for the BC148XLT:

You need adobe reader to read the content.

Good luck

Your can download and print the manual for your scanner, at no cost, here:

The actual setting will vary according to the strength of the signals you're receiving, so it may require adjustment as you move around. With the unit scanning, turn the squelch down slowly until scanning stops and you hear a hissing noise. They slowly bring the level up until scanning resumes.

hello there: here is a link for you that will help out ok

Hi, Is you CB gear grounded to an "earth" ground? Also try moving the scanner around, away from the CB coax, as your probably getting stray RF from there. I've run 100watt with my scanner 5ft. away from it and no problems for the last 6 years,,
You are using good quality coax, aren't you? Cheap coax leaks like a soaker hose. Hope this helps you,, Mechanic
