Chain Search

Use chain search to find active frequencies in your area. You can search up to all five personal bands or turn off those bands you don’t want to hear. This gives you flexibility of searching for any channel between 66 and 512 MHz, as long as they are within the 8 frequency bands covered by the

UBC57XLT.
