What is Scanning?

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications do not transmit continuously. The UBC785XLT scans the Frequencies you have programmed into the Scanner’s channels you program until it finds an active frequency.

Scanning stops on an active frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received.

What is Searching?

The UBC785XLT can search each of its 22 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 while searching. Turbo Search can search the VHF FM bands at up to 300 steps per second (while 5 kHz only).
