Uniden BC780XLT manual Scan & Search Icons

TRUNK SEARCH: This mode works similarly to TRUNK SCAN. If the scanner finds any (non-locked-out) ID when it checks the control channel, you will hear it. You will then hear any replies that follow within two seconds (or whatever delay you may have set). After that the scanner will move on and not continuously search the system for additional IDs (on busy systems you would never leave the system if this were the case). Note that if you press the SRCH key while monitoring one ID, the radio will check if any other IDs are active (it will disregard the ID you just left), and if none are active, it will move on.

LIMIT/ ▼ KEY: If you wish to exit a trunked system without waiting for the currently active talkgroup to finish its communication, press the LIMIT/▼ key. This is particularly helpful on very busy systems where many talkgroups are active and activity is frequent and long- lasting. Pressing this key will move the scanner on to the conventional frequencies in the same bank or the next bank.

SCAN & SEARCH Icons

For the first time on a Uniden scanner, you will see both the SCAN and the SEARCH icons active at the same time. This indicates that the radio is scanning conventional banks and Trunk searching trunking banks. When the radio is trunking, only the SEARCH icon will be lit. Note that to start a conventional search, you must place the radio into conventional manual mode and then press the SEARCH key.
