Introduction
The
BC860XLT
is a new state-of-the-art radio with automatic
scanning capabilities. Store frequencies into 10 banks of 10 channels
each. Scan all 100 channels at Turbo Scan speed.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications (listed on the next page) do not transmit continuously.
The
BC860XLT
scans
programmed
channels at the rate of nearly
100 channels per second until it finds an active frequency.
Scanning stops on an active frequency, and remains on that channel
as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends,
the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received.
While the
BC860XLT
scans channels, it is in Scan mode. When
you stop scanning with
, it is in Manual mode.
M
What is Searching?
The
BC860XLT
can search 12 bands to find active frequencies.
This gives you the opportunity to find new frequencies that have not
been programmed.
Choose between two speeds for the search feature: Normal
(100 steps per second) or Turbo Search (300 steps per second).
While the
BC860XLT
searches for active frequencies, it is in Search
mode or Turbo Search mode. When you stop the search with
,
it is in Search Hold mode.
