Is this a Regency ACT-c403? If so, it is not programmable. It uses crystals to receive the frequencies. This type of antique scanner would be fun for us "old guys" to own, but has no real value. It is something I call bragging rights to own older radios, etc. Fun to talk about over coffee.
Here is a list:

You did not mention which set you have, so look for a small switch (usually on the back of the set) or go into the menu and set the TV to the "broadcast" or "tv" mode. If the set is in the "cable" mode, you will not get any UHF channels above 13.

Hi george - You can get the manual in sections that will tell you what you need to know plus you'll have it for reference. It's the way Radio Shack posts them. It's at this link:

Or you can go to this site and send an email and they will email you the manual:

If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If you need more help just add a comment and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks.

I'm not too sure about this particular model, but other Regency variations require you to push the "Manual" button, enter the channel number you want to set (usually 01-09 for single digits) and then enter the frequency you want. On some you may need to enter the frequency first and then the channel number.

If your tv tuner on vhf only goes to channel 13 you will not recieve uhf channels if you are hooked to cable tv. You can do a search for mid band to uhf converters (converts uhf to vhf).We used to use them in the early 80's. Even if you can find one it will only go to channel 22.
