8:RECORD

You can flag any channel for recording using this menu function. Use your own recording device plugged into the jack on the back of the scanner.

3:SYSTEM OPTION

1:DIMMER

Allows you to change the brightness of the display.

2:SCREEN MASK

Screen Mask allows you to limit what appears on the display to the alpha tags that you have set for a channel along with a few function icons. Screen Mask removes the frequency, receiving mode tone data and signal strength bars. This mode is particularly useful in public safety vehicles where "information overload" is already a problem. Screen Mask does not work in Search mode.

3:KEY BEEP

Use this function to turn OFF the keypad acknowledgement beep. The default setting is ON.

4:ENTER LOCK

Use Enter Lock to prevent accidental re-programming of channels, tone (CTCSS/DCS) and talk groups entered into memory. The default setting is OFF.

5:PC CONTROL

Use this function to set the transfer speed (baud rate) at which your personal computer (PC) communicates with the scanner when downloading information into your scanner using Uniden E-Scanner software. See page 40 for details.

6:CLONE

You can clone all the programming, including frequencies and alpha tags as well as bank settings and other parameters from another UBC785XLT.

7:DATA SKIP

A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the UBCD785D will occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search.

8:SQ MODE

The SQ Mode allows you to set at your option, whether the scanner will stop on all active transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only respond to transmissions with a pre-set subaudible tone. This applies to both Conventional Search and Scan modes. The options are as follows:
