Scanner Master’s programming services are an affordable way to receive a customized, pre-programmed scanner right out-of-the-box. Whether you would like your scanner to receive communications locally or throughout the country as you travel, Scanner Master is your one-stop-shop for police scanners customized for your needs, even if you did not purchase the scanner from Scanner Master.

Our experts offer a complete programming solution to our customers. Radio programming includes all frequencies for each county selected, alpha tag descriptions, trunking systems, talkgroup IDs, and PL tone codes for radios that accept these parameters for no additional charge.

Whether you're new to scanners or you're purchasing a scanner as a gift, or you wish to purchase a more advanced scanner for yourself, programming a scanner can be a daunting task for all but the most patient and software-literate people.

Scanner Programming and Set-up & Optimize Times
Please allow for 5-10 business days on average for this service. Often we are able to move the programming up to 2 to 3 business days, but the amount of time needed depends on the volume of programming orders that come in at any given time. Around holidays, particularly Christmas, lead times can sometimes extend slightly further.
