BCT15X/UBC3500XLT/UBC800XLT Programmer Screen at a Glance
Summary: An orientation to the BCT15X/UBC3500XLT/UBC800XLT Programmer window – what’s on screen, and where the rest of this guide covers each part.
Before You See This Screen
This window only opens for a profile that already exists and has Enable Programming ticked. If you haven’t set one up yet:
- Open Connect Settings.
- Create (or select) a profile with Scanner System set to Uniden and Scanner Type set to your model – BCT15X, UBC3500XLT, or UBC800XLT – and choose the correct COM port.
- Tick Enable Programming for that profile.
- Open Programmer, select that profile from the list, and click Open Editor – this brings you to the screen described below.
See BCT15X/UBC3500XLT/UBC800XLT Programmer – Overview & Getting Connected for the full connection walkthrough, and Model Differences – BCT15X, UBC3500XLT & UBC800XLT if you want to know what’s different about your specific model before you start.
The Screen Itself
The window is split into two columns – action panels on the left, your System/Group/Channel hierarchy on the right.
Left column:
- Scanner Actions – Read from Scanner and Send to Scanner. See Reading, Backing Up & Restoring and Writing to Your Scanner.
- Bank Actions – the Data source dropdown with New System and Add To buttons, plus a Postcode / Marine / Quick Fill row with its own Clear All button alongside it. See Filling Systems & Groups.
- Backup and Restore – an Auto backup before sending checkbox, Save, Open Folder, and your existing backups listed with Restore and Delete next to each. See Reading, Backing Up & Restoring.
Right column – your programming hierarchy:
Three stacked, resizable panels, each with its own Add and Delete buttons:
- Systems – the top level, each with a Name, Type, Quick Key, Lockout, Hold Time and Delay Time.
- Groups – belonging to whichever System is selected above.
- Channels – belonging to whichever Group is selected, with frequency, modulation, tone and more.
Selecting an item at one level filters what’s shown below it. See Editing, Sorting & Deleting for the full rundown of working with this hierarchy. As with Squawker PC’s other scanner guides, the window locks with a progress overlay during a Read or Send, with no Cancel button – see Writing to Your Scanner before your first write.
