Band Search

The BC350C can search up to 13 separate frequency bands to help you discover new and exciting frequencies in your area.

To start searching, press [SEARCH].

Searching starts from the frequency most recently used. Press [UP] or [DOWN] to change the searching direction. Searching stops on any active frequency automatically and displays its frequency. When the conversation stops on the active frequency, the scanner will resume searching for another active channel.

If you want to monitor a specific conversation, press [HOLD] to place the scanner in Hold Mode. The scanner will remain on the frequency displayed until you press [SEARCH] or [BAND] to resume searching.

In the Hold Mode, each time you press [DOWN] or [UP], you step up or down one frequency at a time. To rapidly step through frequencies press and hold the [DOWN] or [UP].

Displaying the Band Range

To display the frequency band

range, press [BAND]. Each time you press [DOWN] or [UP] / [BAND], you step up or down

one band range at a time. Searching begins automatically 3 seconds after the band range is displayed (or you can press [SEARCH] to start searching).

Frequency Lockout

If the scanner keeps stopping on a particular frequency due to noise or too frequent transmissions, you may want to lockout that frequency while searching.

To skip over a frequency, wait until the scanner stops at that frequency. Then press [L/O]. The scanner immediately resumes searching because the locked out frequency is no longer in the searching sequence.

Note: You can program up to 40 L/O frequencies. The 41st L/O frequency entered causes the 1st locked out frequency to become unlocked.
