Feature Highlights

General

Close Call™ RF Capture Technology — Lets the scanner detect and automatically tune to nearby radio transmissions. See “ Using the Close Call Feature” on Page100 for more information.

Close Call Do-Not-Disturb— When set, the scanner makes periodic Close Call checks whenever the scanner is not receiving audio in another mode. This eliminates the annoying breaks in conversation while still allowing for Close Call functionality.

Close Call Temporary Store — Temporarily saves the last 10 Close Call hits and includes them when scanning.

Dynamically Allocated Channel Memory — Your scanner’s 6,000 channels are organized so that it more closely matches how radio systems actually work, making it easier to program and use your scanner and determine how much memory you have used and how much you have left.

Preprogrammed Systems — Your UBCD996T may come pre-programmed with local systems (for Australian and NZ Emergency Services for example) as a complementary start.

100 Quick Keys — You can set the scanner so you can quickly select systems and groups by using the keypad. This makes it easy to listen to or quickly lock out those systems or groups you don’t want to scan.

9 Service Searches - frequencies are preset in separate Police, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio, UHF CB Radio, Racing, TV Broadcast, and FM Broadcast searches, to make it easy to search and scan for specific transmissions.

“Soft” Search Keys — Lets you quickly search specified ranges.

Channel Lockout — You can lock out any system, group, frequency, or channel while scanning. If you lock out a system or group, any channels belonging to that system or group are also locked out.

Frequency Lockout — You can lock out up to 500 frequencies (250 permanently locked out + 250 temporarily locked out). The scanner skips locked-out frequencies while using the Close Call™ feature or while searching.

CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes — Prevent interference from stations not using the tone code you select.

Analog and Digital Audio AGC — Helps automatically balance the volume level between different radio systems.
