Input:
Question: The disc included in the Scanner package. Is it a CD or DVD? I take it that this disc is the instruction manual. True?
Document: (Except for a piece of junk useless PDF file included on a CD - WORTHLESS!). To set up, program, etc this scanner you will need to do some research on the web. There are some great websites (like Radio Reference Wiki) that have great instructions on how to program and use this scanner. But apparently Uniden didn't bother to write a user manual to help its customers.Second negative is the PC sync cable (for programming the scanner from your computer).
As others have said, the unit comes nicely packaged; the included computer cable is obsolete; the owner's manual is on a CD and arranged in an HTML format which defies printing. No hard copy is available and the Uniden Rep I spoke to couldn't have cared less. If you don't know anything about scanners you had better enjoy puzzles or browsing for information on your computer. I've never seen anything so poorly thought out - No glossary or Index. Mobile? Not without a laptop computer to go with it!
I have no idea if it works, or how it works. There is no paperwork, AT ALL included. They include a CD, so you have to find a computer with a CD ROM or scour the internet for it I guess.Also, it comes with a serial cable. Seriously. Haven't seen a serial port on a computer in about in 10 years!And this is just the beginning.
)- NO Software is included for programming- Very poor documentation (on CD)- STEEP learning curve for Programming/Operation- Not very user friendlyWould I recommend it to friends?Maybe...Pretty much I would not except to those I know have the tolerancefor the aggravation that will come with it. (All the rest I'd Highly recommend the BC125AT)
Had the scanner about a week now. It is a great piece of engineering. It will do far more than I'll ever need it to do. I do not regret the purchase at all. In fact, I'd do it again.However, I do have two gripes. First, it does not come with a manual. No excuse for this. It comes with a CD with a generic manual on it in wiki form. It's about as useful as a dried up dog turd.
Uniden BCT15X BearTracker Mobile Tracking Scanner with GPS Support (Black)This product has no manual with it and none on their website. CD that comes with it is not very helpful. Got the brush-off from their tech support people. Not a plug & play product. Only for advanced users, not for old timers that didn't grow up with computers. I have had several scanners in the past and never had a problem with them.
Scanner appears to be well built and has many features. The biggest draw back is the CD supplied with the scanner which has the manual on it, but it sends you to a web site manual. Manual has no reasoning to it with no step by step instructions so has yet I have not been able to get the scanner to start scanning. It also can be configured with a PC, but no software is comes with the scanner you have to go out and purchase the software.
this is not a scanner for the newbie (I am not) It is a great radio once one figures it out. The enclosed CD manual, as others have mentioned, is useless unless you are a scanner genius (I am not) however do not fret as there is a great website online that sorts things out in a way that makes it possible to understand this complex radio  Go to "Easier To Read BCT-15X Manual" and you will get this scanner up and running within an hour or so.
Downloaded and Installed the FreeScan software, Went to the Radio Reference website, copy pasted the Freq/Talkgroups into Freescan and was listening by 8pm.This Scanner sounds great too, so much better than my Old handheld Radio Shack Pro-92, which since FCC Rebanding the trunking hasn't worked. The BCT15X Audio is loud and clear, scanning is quick, display looks great.The only thing I don't like about this scanner is that there is not a printed manual with it, just the PDF file on the CD.
All was good except no inbox manual was found as in the item being bought. A DVD with a manual was in but I found a complete online manual as just May 4. 2013
Answer: CD.  Manual as a text file.  Horrible.  Better ones online.  Google it.
