Thanks for the video. I just got my BC125AT a few weeks ago and am still figuring it out. I don’t know much about it and this helps. Thanks 😊

Good to hear. I know this is 40 minutes long but it should save you hours of searching around.

[@adelacour]

Thanks for such a clear explanation and demo. It make life so much easier.

[@GeneHarm]

That's what I wanted to hear.

Thanks for the video. GMRS can go up to 50 watts (depending on frequency) and use repeaters. I’m in Tucson and when using a repeater with a $30 handheld, can talk with people in California, northern Arizona and New Mexico. PL tones, DCS, CTCSS just limit who you can hear. If others don’t have any tone in use they can hear everyone who’s using tones, but the people with tones won’t hear non-tone users. Check out the RTL-SDR USB dongle. It can pick up analog and digital, FM radio, TV, CB, HAM, FRS, GMRS, satellite. Truly amazing little device.

Well there you go. I'm definitely new to this. Never even heard of FRMS before. Thanks.

Thanks for this intro video. Helpful. My purpose of purchasing this was to listen to police. I didn't get any cops. I googled what cops use and they use frequencies in the 800s. This scanner stops at 500 but is sold as a police scanner. I don't understand that.

[@GeneHarm]

My guess is that the police department in your area has made the switch to digital technology. I believe Uniden does sell a digital scanner that is much more expensive. Railroads haven't gone digital because they need to be unified when passing through one area to the next.

Too much talking about not programming this thing, I kept screaming get on with it already. Had to stop watching and find a video where somebody just tells me how to program it without a life story or a speech about why you might have bought this. Sorry but get on with it already.

[@GeneHarm]

I hear you and I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
