Uniden BC796D APC0 25 manual

Page 10

In addition, here are a few more of the many features your scanner has. To get the most from your scanner, be sure to review this entire manual.

APCO Project 25 Phase 1 Compatible – works on the latest 9600 bps systems, including systems that use C4FM and CQPSK modulation.*

Four-line,16-character, Alpha Display – makes it easy for you to see who is talking by displaying the assigned text tag instead of just a frequency or talkgroup ID number.

Automatic Digital Detect – allows the scanner to switch to digital voice decoding when it detects valid APCO 25 data without any special programming.

1000 Channels – lets you store frequencies in 10 banks of 100 channels each.

1000 Talkgroup ID’s – lets you store 10 groups of 10 ID’s each per bank.

Multi-System Tracking – scans conventional and trunking systems at the same time.

Included PC Programming Software and Cable – makes programming your scanner much easier. Full-featured software included (no registration needed).

10 Priority Channels – switches to the channel you assign as priority if there is activity, so you won’t miss a thing.

Priority Talkgroups – increases the priority of selected talkgroups so the scanner is more likely to switch to them if there is activity.

Priority Plus Scanning – lets you scan only those channels you have selected as priority channels.

CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes – prevents interference from stations not using the mode you select; search mode displays the CTCSS or DCS tone being used by the received station.

Preprogrammed Service Search – makes it easy to find interesting frequencies used by public safety, news media, TV broadcast, weather, amateur radio, FRS, GMRS, special low power, railroad, aircraft, marine, and racing services.

Data Skip – automatically skips frequencies that have a constant-level transmission such as used on data channels for some systems, paging systems, and internally generated birdies.

SAME Weather Alert with FIPS – lets you set your scanner to listen for a SAME event code from the local weather service; sounds an alert and displays the text description for any alert received. FIPS programming lets you restrict the alerts to one county.

Turbo Search – searches for activity on frequencies at up to 300 steps per second (in the 5 kHz step ranges).

Scanner Clone Mode – lets you connect your scanner directly to another scanner to clone all channels and settings.

*Note: Performance on digital systems can vary due to signal quality, multipath interference, and cellular interference. Unlike analog trunking, where you can hear the audio with some interference mixed in, interference in a digital system completely blocks the signal. If you do not get good digital reception, try adjusting your location or your antenna until reception improves.
