UBCD396XT

When searching in a band that has a mix of analog and digital signals (i.e., where the Audio Mode is set to All), it is possible to have false decode problems that results in digital noise at the beginning of transmissions. To prevent this, a user- configurable P25 wait time (from 0 to 1000 ms) has been added.

During the wait time, the scanner evaluates the received signal; if it detects P25 data, the scanner opens squelch immediately. If it does not detect any P25 data, the scanner opens squelch as soon as the wait time expires.

Note: Any analog transmissions on this channel will lose the first part of the transmission, up to the wait time you set here.

Select the number of milliseconds (after the start of a transmission) the scanner should wait while checking for P25 data. Choose a number from 0 through 1000 ms in 100 ms increments. The scanner only applies the wait time when Tone/Code Search in Srch/CloCall Opt is set to Off.

Start a search of the 10 custom search ranges.

Edit Custom

This menu lets you program the ten custom search ranges. Select the custom search you want to edit from the list, then set the following options:

Edit Name

Enter a name or edit the existing one. Names can be 16 characters long, and they can contain upper and lower case letters, punctuation, and spaces. Turn the SELECTVOLUME- SQUELCH knob on the handheld scanners or the SCROLL / FUNCTION knob on mobile scanners to choose the character you want, then press 6 (right cursor) to move the cursor to the next character.

Edit Srch Limit

Change the range of frequencies covered by this custom search. The scanner prompts you to input the lower frequency limit and then the upper frequency limit.
