Programmable

Hand-Held

Scanner

Your UBC57XLT Scanner comes with a flexible antenna and the owner's guide. Batteries are required to operate (not included). An optional earphone may also be used.

UBC 61 XLT

WhatProgrammableHandis Scanning? -HeldScanner The UBC57XLT scans programmed channels until it finds an active frequency.

Introduction

Scanning stops on an active frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received.

What is Chain Searching?

You can program five different search bands. Simply select a chain search location, define the search range, and begin your search. You can set your scanner to search up to all five chain search bands at once, or you can turn off those search bands you don’t want.
