I have a BC101 that has been in storage for about
5yrs now. A while back I wrote a Visual Basic version
that would calculate the switch combos using the
instructions from the manual.

I was never able to get the programming to "take"
when attempting an out of band frequency. In cases
like this, reception on an image frequency was always
quite good.

Beware, there's a voltage regulator bolted to the inside
of the chassis that gets quite hot and has a tendency of
failing. I presume because no heatsink compound was
used during manufacture. You might want to add some to
yours.
