# Bearcat 101 Scanner Program

Marty has had a lot of interest in his BC-101 program (see ad in previous QZX) and sent the program to QZX for publication. He says the Bearcat 101 is a more sensitive receiver than most, but is harder to use. It can be programmed for an extremely wide range of frequencies, but won’t work much outside the spec. frequencies without re-tuning.
