Basic Operation T urn the Scanner On Turn the VOL control clockwise out of the detent position. The scanner automatically starts scanning. Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner initially, you may not receive any signals. Once you set the squelch and program some frequencies, you will be hearing conversations regularly.
Next you must program some frequencies (page 24). It is recommended that you read the next part "Understanding the Menu System" because it will assist you in accessing and understanding many of the features.
20 Menu Description and Numeric Keypad Equivalents Below are the Menu screens and a brief description or purpose of the feature. 1:SEARCH OPTION 1:AIR STEP You can select the air band step 12.5kHz or 8.33 kHz. 2:CHAIN SEARCH 1:CHAIN SEARCH You need to turn Chain Search feature to ON if you use the Chain Search feature.
Note : Through the System Menu you can set the radio to operate in Tone Search mode during Search as well. In this mode, the radio will automatically determine the active subaudible tone on any frequency received during the search.
8:RECORD You can flag any channel for recording using this menu function. Use your own recording device plugged into the jack on the back of the scanner.
1. CSQ - The default setting is CSQ (carrier squelch). In this mode the scanner will stop on any transmission on a programmed frequency. 2. TONE SQ - In Tone Squelch mode, if you have set a subaudible tone for a frequency, the scanner will only stop on that frequency if the transmission includes the prescribed tone.
Programming Before the UBC785XLT can begin conventional scanning, you must program a frequency into at least one channel. Repeat this procedure for each channel you want to program. Storing Frequencies into Channels in Menu Mode 1. Prepare frequencies you received from your dealer or from various sources on the internet.
