About Your New UBC 220XLT

The UBC 220XL T is a brand new state-of-the-art information radio with automatic scanning capabalities. It can store frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, air, cellular, amateur, and other communications into 10 banks of 20 channels each. And you can scan all 200 channels at super fast Turbo Scan speed.

With the UBC 220XL T, you can search for frequencies at fast speed. You can also search V.H.F. frequencies at super fast Turbo speed.

What is Scanning?

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously. The UBC 220XL T scans proarammed channels at the rate of nearly 100 channels per second until it finds an active frequency.

Scanning stops on an active frequency, and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received. Or, you can select an optional Delay so the scanner stays on the channel for 2 more seconds after the transmission stops, waiting for another transmission, before resuming scanning.

While the UBC 220XL T is scanning channels, it is in "SCAN

Mode". When you stop the scanning with~, it is in "SCAN HOLD Mode".

What is Searching?

The UBC 220XL T can search each of 10 bands to find active

frequencies. This is different from scanning, because you can search for frequencies that have not been programmed into

your UBC 220XLT. You can choose between two speeds for the search feature. With Turbo Search, a new feature for Uniden scanners, you can search the V.H.F. FM bands at up to 3 times the normal speed.

When the UBC 220XL T is searching for active frequencies, it is in "SEARCH Mode" or "TURBO SEARCH Mode." When you stop the search with (HOLD),it is in "SEARCH HOLD Mode", With both Turbo Scan and Turbo Search, your UBC 220XLT is truly a Twin Turbo Scanner.
