Scanning Overview

The UBC144XLT has 16 memory channels, each of which can be programmed to store 1 frequency within the band of frequency coverage. (For a listing of frequency ranges and bands, see "Technical Specifications" on page 16.)

When you press C. SCAN),each of the programmed frequencies is scanned for an active frequency (channels that are locked out are skipped) at the rate of about 15 channels per second.

When the scanning stops on an active frequency,

it remains on that channel as long

 

as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanner will remain

on the same channel for 2 more seconds, waiting

for a responding

transmission. If

there is n() responding transmission within 2 seconds, the scanning

cycle resumes.
