Feature Highlights

￿ Pre-programmed frequencies specific to each Australian state and New Zealand ￿ Pre-programmed Trunked frequencies

￿ Close Cal™RF Capture Technology

You can set the scanner so it detects and provides information about nearby radio transmissions.

￿ Pre-programmed Service Scanning by the following service banks; - Police

- Rail Roads

- Aircraft (except Aeronautic radio Navigation (108-117.9875MHz) - Marine Band

- UHF CB Radio

- AM CB Radio

￿ 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.

￿ 12 Bands – Includes 12 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-1300 MHz – Indicates the range of frequencies that can be searched within the bands of your scanner.

Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous.

￿ 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 UBCT8 Scanning software running on your PC.
