Beep Alert

The scanner can alert you with three rapid beeps at the beginning of a transmission on an assigned frequency.

Assigning the beep alert to a channel

This alert can be set on/off to every channel (or to every ID memory for Trunking mode).

1.Press MENU.

2.Press ▲ or ▼ to select CH DATA and then press E.

3.Select the channel number to be tagged using ▲ or ▼ and then press E. (You can also enter the channel number in using the keypad or VFO control and then press E.)

4.Press ▲ or ▼ to select BEEP ALERT and then press E.

5.Press ▲ or ▼ to select ON or OFF and then pressing E.

Note: If NOT REGISTER appears, make sure a frequency is stored in the channel.

Programming Tips

•Do not program a weather frequency into one of the channels, since weather channels transmit continuously. Use the Weather Search feature to select the weather information band.

•Group similar services into a bank. For example, program police frequencies in channels 1 through 10 and fire/emergency into channels 51 through 60, and so on.

•Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most important frequency into a Priority channel.

•To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel.

For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through 8, start with Channel 4. After you finish programming a channel, press MAN or HOLD/▲ to go to the next higher channel.

•Write down your programmed channels and frequencies and put in a convenient place in case of accidental reprogramming.

•If you want to download frequencies using the SmartScan feature, go to page 59 in this manual.

•Frequencies are rounded off according to the step of each channel.

•When you are overwriting a tagged channel with a new frequency, the previous alpha tag will be deleted. You must re-enter the alpha tag.

•When programming frequencies, a 2 second delay is set automatically but can be changed in the Channel Data menu.

Deleting a Stored Frequency

To delete a stored frequency:

a.Select a channel.

b.Press 0.

c.Then press E.

Note: Channels with no frequencies are automatically locked out.

BC780XLT specifications

The Uniden BC780XLT is a versatile and popular scanner that has made a name for itself among scanning enthusiasts and professionals alike. Released in the early 2000s, this model is known for its extensive feature set, allowing users to monitor a wide range of frequencies and communications.

One of the primary features of the BC780XLT is its capability to scan multiple frequency bands, including VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz frequencies. This makes it an ideal choice for monitoring public safety communications, utility services, and various other two-way radio frequencies. The scanner operates in an impressive frequency range of 25 MHz to 1.3 GHz, allowing users to enjoy a broad spectrum of signals.

The BC780XLT features TrunkTracker technology, which enables it to follow trunked radio systems. This is crucial for monitoring communications from agencies that operate on these complex frequency systems, like police and fire departments. The scanner can decode both Motorola and EDACS trunked systems, providing extensive coverage of public safety communications.

User-friendly controls and advanced features make the BC780XLT accessible for both beginners and experienced users. The numeric keypad allows for quick entry of frequencies, while the large LCD display provides easy visibility of channel information, including frequency and mode. The 10-channel pre-programmed memory allows users to store their favorite frequencies and easily scan between them.

In addition to its scanning capabilities, the BC780XLT also supports close call technology. This feature allows the scanner to automatically detect nearby signals, instantly alerting users to any active frequencies in their vicinity. This is particularly useful for users in urban areas, where multiple frequencies may be in use simultaneously.

The BC780XLT also has a robust battery-saving feature, making it an excellent option for those who need to scan on the go. This functionality, coupled with its ability to operate on AC or DC power, adds to its versatility, ensuring uninterrupted scanning during extended use or in field operations.

In conclusion, the Uniden BC780XLT Scanner stands out for its comprehensive feature set, including TrunkTracker technology, extensive frequency coverage, and user-friendly design.
