How do you manually program frequencies into the private list?

yea that one is a little hard to operate....you want to put your frequencies into your private bank...what you do to program it is to go to your search mode hit program and then your search.and when you are searching and you find your frequencie that you want you put your scanner on hold this is manual mode. and push your private button and hit enter and your frequency is in there...and Barbara i will try to help you with this....

With all due respect, I suggest reading the user manual that came with your scanner. The user manual is the best reference material there is. for this product. If you need frequencies go to www.radioreference.com

With the scanner powered ON, press the PRIVATE key to scan frequencies programmed into the PRIVATE bank and ignore everything else. Need the manual for your scanner? You can download and print it, at no cost, here:

Yes, once you have programmed/transferred frequencies into the PRIVATE bank, with the scanner powered ON, press the PRIVATE key to start scanning. Need the manual for your scanner? You can download and print it, at no cost, here:

The BC350C is a factory pre-programmed scanner, so you cannot program it in the standard manner - entering frequencies via the keyboard. You can, however, transfer a displayed frequency from the SCAN or SEARCH mode into the PRIVATE bank. Details for doing this are in the factory manual that you can download and print, at no cost, here:

Turn on the radio
Press the "band" button
Keep pressing the "band" button until you come within the parameters of the frequency that you want
Let the radio scan until it gets close to the actual frequency that you're looking for
Press the "hold" button and use the arrow "up" or "down" button till you lock in the correct frequency
Once you have the frequency locked in, press the "program" button
Press the "private" button
The unused channel will be flashing
Press the "program" button, this locks the frequency into that channel
Continue this process until all of the frequencies are loaded into the radio

Sorry, but the BC350C will only allow you to scan or search one band at a time. As you identify active frequencies in the different bands though, you can transfer (program) up to 50 frequencies into the PRIVATE band, and then scan the combined list. Need more info on your scanner? If you don't already have it, you can download/print the BC350C operating manual here:

You didn't mention whether you have a BC350A or a BC350C, so here are links to the owners manuals for both. They go into detail on programming frequencies into the "PRIVATE" bank.
