Tone-Out Multi-Channel Monitoring | Uniden BCD996T specs

After you select an alert pattern, the scanner prompts for the alert level for a received alert. Level options 1 to 15 sets a fixed audio level independent of the main volume setting. AUTO uses the main volume setting for the alerts.

Tone-Out Multi-Channel Monitoring

The scanner can check multiple tone combination pages for channels whose settings are the same. To achieve this, set the channel to the same frequency, modulation, and attenuation. For example, the scanner checks tone combinations for channel 1 to channel 3 for the following settings.

	Frequency (MHz)	Modulation	Attenuator	Tone A (Hz)	Tone B (Hz)
Ch 1	137.0000	Auto (NFM)	Off	1000.0	2000.0

Ch 2	137.0000	Auto (NFM)	Off	2200.0	3200.0

Ch 3	137.0000	Auto (NFM)	Off	1500.0	2500.0

Ch 4	137.0000	NFM	Off	1800.0	2800.0

Ch 5	137.0000	FM	Off	2000.0	3000.0

Ch 6	138.0000	Auto (NFM)	Off	1000.0	2000.0

Although set to Auto, if the band default is anything other than FM or NFM, modulation will always be FM.

If you switch to Tone-Out Standby Mode for Multi-Channel Monitoring, the display switches every 2 seconds to show the frequency it is checking. However, it is, at the same time, checking all frequencies for Tones. If one is detected, it switches to Tone-Out Hold mode.
