What is Searching?

The BC350C can search each of its 13 bands to find active frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into your scanner’s channels. The scanner automatically chooses between two speeds (Search and Turbo Search) while searching. During Search Mode the scanner will search 100 frequencies per second, while in Turbo Search Mode the scanner can achieve up to 300 frequencies per second in the 5 kHz step band.
