hi select a bank ,Press Hold. Then enter the channel number
where you want to store a frequency, then press
Func and Pgm. The channel number appears.
2. Use the number keys and to enter the
frequency (including the decimal point) you want
to store.
3. Press E to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
• If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 2,
Error appears and the scanner beeps three
times. Enter a valid frequency.
• The scanner automatically rounds the entered
number to the nearest valid frequency.
For example, if you enter 151.473 (MHz), your
scanner accepts it as 151.475.
• When you enter a frequency into a channel, the
scanner automatically turns on the delay
function and DLY appears. When delay is turned
on, the scanner automatically pauses scanning
First, be sure that the frequency that you're trying to enter is withjin the scanner's tuning range. The ERROR message will appear if you enter an invalid frequency.
Second, follow this sequence to program a known frequency: - Power the scanner ON. - Press HOLD. - Enter the number of the channel you wish to program. - Press the Func and Pgm keys (channel number will display). - Enter the frequency, including the decimal point. - Press E to enter your information into the scanner's memory.

You should be able to store it for many years. I would put a box of baking soda opened inside to absorb any smells. Also maybe put a couple mothballs behind the rear acess cover to prevent mice from getting in thier and chewing up the wiring or insulation. Here is a link for removing the rear cover if needed. http://appliancehelponline.com/referbackpanel.html
To program any known frequency into your BC72XLT, power the scanner ON, and then:
1. Press Hold. Then enter the channel number where you want to store a frequency, then press Func and Pgm. The channel number appears. 2. Use the number keys and to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store. 3. Press E to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes: • If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 2, Error appears and the scanner beeps three times. Enter a valid frequency. • The scanner automatically rounds the entered number to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter 151.473 (MHz), your scanner accepts it as 151.475. • When you enter a frequency into a channel, the scanner automatically turns on the delay function and DLY appears. When delay is turned on, the scanner automatically pauses scanning 2 seconds after the end of a transmission before scanning proceeds to the next channel. To turn the function off or on, press Func + Dly. • If you enter a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere, the scanner sounds an error tone and displays the channel that was duplicated. If you entered the frequency by mistake, press then enter the correct frequency. To enter the frequency anyway, press E to accept.
4. To program the next channel in sequence, press E then repeat Steps 2 and 3.
