Recording Transmissions

You can set any channel for recording while scanning. Then, if your scanner stops on a channel you have designated for recording, the connected tape recorder begins to record the audio.

However, before you can use this feature, you must connect a tape recorder to your scanner. For information about attaching a recorder to your scanner, see “Using An Optional Tape Recorder” on Page 16.

To program a channel for tape recording:

1.Use the keypad or rotary tuner to select the channel you want to record.

2.Press LINE. LINE appears indicating that the channel will be recorded if you connected a tape recorder to your scanner.

3.Repeat these steps to select other channels for recording.

To record a channel, press SCAN. When your scanner stops on a channel and LINE appears, the channel is recorded.

To turn the record feature off for a channel:

1.Use the keypad or rotary tuner to select the channel you do not want to record any- more.

2.Press LINE. LINE turns off and the channel is not recorded.

Data Skip

A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the BC898T will stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during searches. Repeatedly press DATA until DATA appears (to activate the data skip feature) or until DATA disappears (to deactivate the data skip feature).

When data skip is active, your scanner might pause momentarily on an unwanted signal but will resume searching in 2 or 3 seconds.

Frequency Skip

If a particular channel continues to interrupt search scanning, you can set your scanner so it skips the frequency. To skip a frequency, press L/O.

Note: You can program up to 100 skip frequencies. If you try to program more than 100 skip frequencies, additional frequencies you program cause the first skipped frequency to unlock.
