Your BC246T scanner is a state-of-the-art scanner radio 
with TrunkTracking™ and automatic scanning 
capabilities. You can store frequencies such as police,

you wherever you go, use it at home as a base unit, or 
install it in your vehicle as a mobile unit. 
You can use the scanner’s scroll control to quickly select 
channels and frequencies, and you can automatically 
program channels in a system using the AutoStore
feature.
