I was so disappointed with this scanner. You have to buy a $30 cable to hook it to a PC for programming and a $40 software package. Some folks say they found a way to program theirs, but mine went back in the box only to find out I exceded the time limit to return it. I plan on taking it out back one day when I'm really angry and beat it to pieces with a hammer. I suggest you return yours if it's not too late and get a real scanner that is easy to program.

>Function>Program>ENTER CODE>ProgramMake sure you are on the bank you want! Especially if you use the scan feature which scans selected banks by pressing the bank number in scan mode. Banks go from 1-20, 21-40, 41-60, and so on. The first number in each sequence(ie. 1-20) is the priority channel for the bank. For Example, 1 is the priority Channel of bank 1, the sequence of 1-20. Remember to unlock that frequency channel if you want it to come through on the scan feature.>Function>LOCK ICON

I used the manual that came with and it was very straightforward and easy..If you don't have the manual you can find it online to download..

Leslie,I've had many scanners over the years and was able to program them all after reading the manual carefully although I did find that the BC 95XLT manual to be a little more confusing and had to read it through a few times with the scanner in front of me before I was able to program most of the functions that were important to me but I still havn't programed in the "Close Call Radio Capture" Just sit down with the radio in front of you and read the manual carefully taking one programing step at a time.

hi Leslie - Actually after owning many different scanners, this one is the easiest to program manually, also i have this software >> http://www.blackbagsoftware.com/bc95xlt/index.htmlBut i find its actually easier to program it manually thru the keypad then connecting to a computer, and using the software, plus you need to buy the software and the usb cable to interface with your computer another 30 bucks.Choice is yours ... either way .. its very easy.Hope this helps you ... ive been using this scanner for awhile anfd i prefer it to my other more expensive ones.Dave hi Leslie - Actually after owning many different scanners, this one is the easiest to program manually, also i have this software >> http://www.blackbagsoftware.com/bc95xlt/index.htmlBut i find its actually easier to program it manually thru the keypad then connecting to a computer, and using the software, plus you need to buy the software and the usb cable to interface with your computer another 30 bucks.Choice is yours ... either way .. its very easy.Hope this helps you ... ive been using this scanner for awhile anfd i prefer it to my other... » Read More hi Leslie - Actually after owning many different scanners, this one is the easiest to program manually, also i have this software >> http://www.blackbagsoftware.com/bc95xlt/index.htmlBut i find its actually easier to program it manually thru the keypad then connecting to a computer, and using the software, plus you need to buy the software and the usb cable to interface with your computer another 30 bucks.Choice is yours ... either way .. its very easy.Hope this helps you ... ive been using this scanner for awhile anfd i prefer it to my other more expensive ones.Dave « Show Less

It comes with everything you need to make it work. That includes program, SD card, power/programming cable, and manual. It doesn't come with SD card slot, so you will need that to program the scanner from your computer. I would suggest you get two things to support your ease of programming. One, a micro SD card with an adapter card, and two, a micro SD card with a USB/SD adapter. One last thing. You are limited only by the size of the SD card you use, the frequencies you're interested in, and the fact that the scanner is analog only. If stay within those parameters, the scanner is awesome.

There is a code in the book that came with it, that you scan. You have to enter program mode first, then scan the code. I'm not sure which one it is, but you can try several options until it works.

There is nothing wrong with the scanner. It is your printer. Set it at a better resolution. Or try wipe the front of cartiage clean.

You need to install the Twain driver and unless you use other software then you can use the software that came with the scanner. The driver should have been supplied on a CD or you can download it for the model scanner.

So, this is all I get when I scan....no directions, no idea what to do! Suggestions?:F1-F10=Options, Use ARROW KEYS to Toggle/Move, ESC=Exit

The device is programmed. If you want to change the scan settings the barcode "Reset configuration". For regular input to your application scan the barcode: Out Mode - Keyboard Wedge. That enter the scan barcode information to Excel, Word, etc.

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

All this scanner does is convert the barcode into a string of numbers, there is no software in it, it works the way a keyboard types numbers in. It will only work on a device with a USB port such as a computer.

I used a program called arc 500, the program was designed to work with the pro 106 scanner as well as other radio shack scanners. I bought it from radio shack and it came with drivers and a cable. after installation it offers a couple of free samples and then it wants to charge you around 60.00 dollars.

I don't know, I don't use the software. Software comes with the scanner, you might try that first and see how that works for you.

I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately the scanner hasn't worked so I am not using it.

No, not even close. The best thing you can do for your sanity (and any family members around you) is to go to www.radioreference.com, get a premium membership for $20 and use FreeScan (Free) to program your scanner. If you don't do this I promise you , you will NEVER get that time spent back in your life struggling with manual programming. We're talking $20 to program, and reprogram the scanner an UNLIMITED number of times. Best money EVER spent.

You have to plug it into your computer or it won't work, you can save it on your computer but cannot save it to the scanner.

I don't really remember how I did it, but I am using it by scanning directly to our program. I think there should be the small manual book that you can scan some UPC to control how you use this handheld either scanning directly or storing inside itself. Try and let me know.

You need an OCR program to do that , it`s not a scanner issue , it`s a software you need to use
