About Scanning

Scanning

Options

Scanning is easy and fun with the UBC144XL T 16-Channel Base Scanner. You can scan in 2 ways:

. Scan channels you have programmed

. Scan pre-programmed weather channels.

 

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most 2-way

 

communications (see "Types of Communication" below) do

 

not transmit continuously. The UBC144XL T scans

 

programmed channels at the rate of about 15 channels per

 

second until it locates an active frequency. When the

 

scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that

 

channel as long as the transmission continues. When the

 

transmission ends, the scanner stays on the channel for

 

2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If

 

no responding transmission is detected, the scanning cycle

 

resumes until another transmission is received.
