Changing the Frequency Step
2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. → 6:STEPS
The channel frequency step option controls the frequency step size used when you manually tune up or down from the frequency stored in the channel. Your BC296D is preprogrammed with the most common steps sizes for each band, so you seldom need to change this setting.
1:5KHz
Use 5 kHz steps
2:6.25KHz
Use 6.25 kHz steps
3:7.5KHz
Use 7.5 kHz steps
4:10KHz
Use 10 kHz steps
5:12.5KHz
Use 12.5 kHz steps
6:25KHz
Use 25 kHz steps
7:50KHz
Use 50 kHz steps
8:100KHz
Use 100 kHz steps
9:AUTO
Automatically set the step size based on the band
Setting the Modulation Mode
2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. → 7:MODE
Radio transmissions are modulated in several different ways. The BC296D is able to demodulate the most common transmission types. Your scanner has the most common modulation mode preset for each band, so you seldom have to change this option. However there are occasional services that use a modulation mode that is not standard for that band.
