Notes:
•If no systems are programmed, or all systems are locked out, an error message appears. Program a system or select a system to scan.
•When scanning multiple systems, the BCD396T scans systems according to the assigned quick key. Systems assigned to quick key 1 are scanned first, then 2, 3, 4, etc. Systems not assigned to a quick key are scanned last. Within a quick key, systems are scanned in the order they were assigned.
•Within a system, channels are scanned according to the assigned channel group, with the same priority as described above for systems.
•The BCD396T scans a system for the duration you set using the System Hold Time option (see “Setting the System Hold Time” on Page 74). For trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and the channel delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all unlocked channels are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.
Preprogrammed System Tips
All systems preprogrammed into the scanner are assigned to quick key 9. To turn the preprogrammed systems on or off, simply press 9 while scanning.
Notes:
•The systems preprogrammed into the scanner are located primarily in major metropolitan areas. You might not be able to receive one or more of these preprogrammed systems.
•You might hear transmissions on frequencies assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a local system also uses the same frequency.
