Introduction

The BC9000XLT is a sophisticated information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. You can use it at home as a base unit, or install in your vehicle as a mobile unit.

The BC9000XLT can store frequencies such as, police, fire/emergency, marine, air, weather, and other broadcasts into 20 banks of 25 channels each. The new Rotary Tuner feature enables rapid and easy selection of channels and frequencies. And with AUTO STORE, you can automatically program any channel.

With the BC9000XLT, you can scan all 500 channels with Turbo Scan. In the Search Mode, you can choose super fast Turbo Search. In addition, the BC9000XLT has AUTO SORT – an automatic frequency sorting feature for faster scanning within each bank.
