Note: When in Hold mode, you can use the VFO to step up or down through the channels. You can also switch from stepping up/down through channels to stepping up/down through frequencies by pressing the VFO.

RF Attenuation Feature

The UBC785XLT comes with an RF Attenuation feature. If you're near an unusually strong signal source, the signal may overload the scanner. The scanner may stop repeatedly on that signal and miss other transmissions.

The RF Attenuation feature works in all modes and attenuates (reduces) the incoming signal strength to prevent stronger signals from overloading the scanner.

1.Press MENU.

2.For Search mode, select 1: SEARCH OPTION / 2:CHAIN SEARCH /

4:ATTENUATOR by rotating the VFO and pressing E.

For Scan mode, select 2:SCAN OPTION by rotating the VFO and pressing E. Then select the channel number by rotating the VFO and pressing E.

Select 5:ATTENUATOR by rotating the VFO and pressing E.

3.Select 1:ON by rotating the VFO and pressing E.

Note: Attenuation will only be active for the specified channel. In Search mode, it is applied to the Search ranges in all banks.

Remember! You can also use or instead of rotating the VFO. Also instead of pressing E, you can press the VFO control.

Setting the Delay Mode for Frequency

When scan or search stops on a channel, there is a brief pause before resuming. A default delay of 2 seconds is automatically set for each frequency . If you want to change the delay period:

1.Press MENU.

2.For Scan mode, select 2:SCAN OPTION by rotating the VFO and pressing E.
