•Trunk Tracking – Follow VHF High Band UHF 800MHz trunked public safety and public service systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used.

•Multi-Track– Track more than one trunking system at a time. Scan conventional and trunked systems at the same time.

•250 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode.

•13 Bands – Includes 13 bands, with aircraft and 800 MHz.

•5 Banks – 5 banks with 50 channels each are useful for storing similar frequencies to maintain faster scanning cycles or for storing all the frequencies of a trunked system.

•25 MHz-956 MHz – Indicates the range of frequencies that can be searched within the bands of your scanner.

Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous and excludes the cellelar telephone Band.

•5 Priority Channels – You can assign one priority channel in each bank. Assigning a priority channel allows you to track activity on your most important channel(s) while monitoring other channels for transmissions. You can also assign trunking priority talkgroups.

•Data Skip – Allows your scanner to skip unwanted data transmissions and reduces birdies.

•Direct Channel Access – Go directly to any channel without entering programming mode.

•Turbo Search – Increases the search speed to 300 steps per second. This applies only to transmission bands with 5 kHz steps.

•PC Programmable – Allows you to easily program all frequencies and Trunking Talk Groups into your BCT8 through Uniden BCT8 Scanning software running on your PC.
