PRECAUTIONS
EARPHONE WARNING!
Be sure to use only a monaural earphone with this scanner. You can also use an
optional stereo headset. Use of an incorrect earphone or mono headset might be
potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but
you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging
in the monaural earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some
discomfort or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud
because of the volume control or squelch control setting. This might be particularly
true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear canal.
WATERPROOF WARNING!
Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the risk of re or
electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
IMPORTANT! This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will not tune
to the radio frequencies assigned by the FCC for cellular telephone usage. The
Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal
crime to intentionally intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to
market this radio when altered to receive them. The installation, possession, or use
of this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require a
permit in certain states, cities, and/or local jurisdictions. Your local law enforcement
ofcials should be able to provide you with information regarding the laws in your
community.
MODIFICATION NOTICE
Changes or modications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or
operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Users Guide, could
void your authority to operate this product.
PART 15 INFORMATION
This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning
receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
scanner generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.
There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the scanner on and off, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
10
suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas causer d’interférences, et (2) l’utilisateur de
l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si les interférences

SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police and
re departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies,
amateur radio services, military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone
and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission
your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions that you should
never intentionally listen to.
These include:
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of
telephone signal transmission)
Pager transmissions
Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject
to nes and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging
the contents of such a conversation unless you have the consent of a party to
the conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner has
been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone transmissions and
the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal
requirement that scanners be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick
up these transmissions. Do not open your scanners case to make any modications
that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or
tampering with your scanners internal components or using it in a way other than
as described in this manual could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or portable use of this scanner
is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in
many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety
ofcials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.

MAIN FEATURES
Trunk Tracker V Operation – follows conversations on analog Motorola, Motorola
Astro 25 (APCO 25), P25 One-Frequency Trunk, EDACS, EDACS SCAT, and LTR
trunked radio systems, including systems in VHF, UHF, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and 900
MHz bands.
APCO 25 Phase I and Phase II Support – allows you to receive transmissions with
these decoding protocols.
Dynamically Allocated Channel Memory – organized into ‘Systems’, ‘Sites’, (within
trunking systems), ‘Groups’ (within systems), and channels (within groups). Up to
500 systems, 1,000 total sites (max 256 per system), 20 groups per system, and
25,000 channels (500 max IDs or 1,000 frequencies per system).
Multi-Site Trunking – lets you program the scanner to share trunked system
IDs across multiple sites without duplicating IDs, and turn each site on and off
independently so that you can select the best site to scan for your area.
Control Channel Only Scanning – allows you to enter just the control channels to
trunktrack a Motorola system and the scanner will nd the voice channels.
System/Channel Number Tagging – number tags allow you to quickly navigate to
a specic system or channel. You can assign number tags to systems, channels,
service searches, and custom search ranges. You can also assign a number tag
to the ‘Close Call’ system created during ‘Close Call Auto Store’ and the temporary
system ‘Close Call Hits’.
Band Scope Mode – band Scope mode is a special type of search mode where the
scanner displays the strength of any signal it nds.
Priority/Priority Plus Scan – priority channels let you keep track of activity on your
most important channels while monitoring other channels for transmissions and you
can scan just the priority channels.
Priority ID Scan – allows you to set priority to talkgroup IDs.
Preemptive Priority – a feature that works on Motorola systems. If the Motorola
system has priority channels, and you assign one of those talkgroups as priority in
the scanner, then when one of those channels becomes active, the scanner will jump
to it even if it is on a different system voice channel (i.e. it preempts your current
reception).
EDACS ESK Support – provides the ability to monitor analog talkgroups on those
systems.
Adjustable Scan/Search Delay/Resume – set a delay up to 30 seconds or a forced
resume up to 10 seconds. (per system or search).
Intermediate Frequency Exchange – changes the IF used for a selected channel/
frequency to help avoid image and other mixer-product interference.
12
Individual Channel Volume Offset – allows you to adjust the volume offset for each
channel.
Control Channel Data Output – allows the analysis of control channel data without
the need to perform invasive modications to the scanner.
Private Systems – lets you ag a system so that it cannot be read out of the
scanner or modied (only with optional software).
Key Safe Mode – lets you hand the scanner to a novice user and prevent
programming from being modied.
Start-up Configuration – you can program each of your conventional systems,
trunked sites, service searches, or custom searches with a ‘Startup Key’ (0-9) so that
when you power up the scanner and press the key number, just those systems/sites/
searches assigned to the key will be enabled for scan (groups are not affected).
Location-Based Scanning - using an optional GPS unit you can scan your systems
based on a set range from your current location.
GPS (Location-Based) Alerts - noties you when you are near an area you have
programmed as a dangerous road, dangerous intersection, or a general point of
interest.

hits in the ‘Hits with Scan’ system.
Fire Tone-Out Standby/Tone Search - lets you set the scanner to alert you if a
two-tone sequential page is transmitted. You can set up to 10 settings (transmit
frequency, tone frequencies) then select one for standby monitoring. The scanner will
also search and display unknown tones.
Frequency/ID Auto Search and Store - the scanner can be set to automatically
store all active frequencies from a service or limit search in a conventional system
you select or automatically store all new talkgroup IDs into a trunked system you
select.
Custom Alerts - you can program your scanner to alert you when, a channel
is received, you receive a Close Call hit, a talkgroup ID is transmitted with an
emergency alert, you get close to a POI (Point of Interest)/Dangerous Road/
Dangerous Crossing, or you receive a Tone-Out hit. For each alert in the scanner,
you can select from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume settings, and 2 blink
patterns.
Repeater Reverse - allows the scanner to try to switch to the repeater if an input
when frequency is found.

UNDERSTANDING DYNAMIC MEMORY
CONVENTIONAL SIMPLEX AND REPEATER SYSTEMS
Simplex systems use a single frequency for both transmit and receive. Most radios
using this type of operation are limited to line-of-sight operation. This type of radio is
frequently used at construction job sites, and with inexpensive consumer radios such
as GMRS/FRS radios. The range is typically 1-8 miles, depending upon the terrain
and many other factors.
Repeater systems use two frequencies: one transmits from the radio to a central
repeater; the other transmits from the repeater to other radios in the system. With a
repeater based system, the repeater is located on top of a tall building or on a radio
tower that provides great visibility to the area of operation. When a user transmits (on
an input frequency), the signal is picked up by the repeater and retransmitted (on an
output frequency). The user’s radios always listen for activity on the output frequency
and transmit on the input frequency. Since the repeater is located very high, there is
a very large line of sight. Typical repeater systems provide coverage out to about a
25-mile radius from the repeater location.
UNDERSTANDING CTCSS/DCS/NAC
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital Coded Squelch
(DCS) are two methods used to prevent interference by other radio communications.
Your scanner can receive transmissions that use these codes (or more commonly
referred to as tone codes).
15
CTCSS and DCS systems all use some form of coded squelch. Coded squelch
techniques involve the transmission of a special ‘code’ signal along with the audio
of a radio transmission. A receiver with coded squelch only activates when the
received signal has the correct ‘code’. This lets many users share a single frequency,
and decreases interference caused by distant transmitters on the same channel. In
all major metropolitan areas of the United States, every available radio channel is
assigned to more than one user. Public safety radio systems on the same frequency
are usually set up at a distance of 40 miles apart, or more. This means that you may
hear transmissions from a distant system when your local system is not transmitting.
By programming the CTCSS tone for a local channel the scanner will not stop on
transmissions from the distant system. With few exceptions, such as the VHF Aircraft
and Marine bands, almost every other VHF or UHF radio system uses some form
of coded squelch. By far, CTCSS is the most popular mode among non-trunked
systems.
NAC, similar to CTCSS/DCS, has a 3 digit hexadecimal code that is broadcast along
with the digital signal being transmitted.
UNDERSTANDING TRUNKING
Trunking systems let a large group of 2-way radio users (or even different groups
of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a set of frequencies. Instead of selecting a
specific frequency for a transmission, the user’s radio selects a programmed trunking
bank in the system when that user presses their PTT (push to talk) button. The
trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and
also sends (on a different frequency called a Data or Control channel) a code that
uniquely identifies that transmission as a talkgroup ID (or just ID.) So when you are
trunktracking a system, you are listening to active IDs transmitting in the system
(each using the first available frequency in the system.) Trunking systems in general
allocate and use fewer frequencies among many different users.
Since the trunking system might send a call and its response on different
frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a conventional
scanner. A trunktracker let you monitor the control channel frequency so you can
hear calls and responses for users and more easily “follow” conversations than with
a conventional scanner.
This trunking scanner tracks the following types of systems:
16
Motorola Type I
Motorola Type II
Motorola Type IIi Hybrid
Motorola Type II Smartnet
Motorola Type II Smartzone
Motorola Type II Smartzone
Omnilink
Motorola Type II VOC
LTR Standard
Project 25 Standard
Motorola X2-TDMA
P25 Phase I and Phase II
EDACS Standard (Wide)
EDACS Narrowband (Narrow)
EDACS Networked (Wide/
Narrow)
EDACS SCAT
EDACS ESK
When you program Motorola/P25 and EDACS system frequencies into the scanner,
one frequency is the control (or data) channel, and the rest are voice frequencies
shared by all the users. There may be 3 or 4 frequencies assigned as (primary or
alternate) control channels but only one control channel will be active at a time.
These scanners will allow you to program just Motorola/P25 control channels into
the trunking system and the voice channels will automatically be found (but not
programmed). EDACS systems need all the frequencies for the system programmed
and with the correct LCN (Logical Channel Number) assigned.
The control channel continually transmits to the field units and has a sound similar to
listening to a boat engine over the phone (in manual mode; you won’t hear this when
you are trunking the system.) This control channel is also a good check to see if you
can trunktrack the system. If you can’t hear a control channel when you step through
the trunking frequencies (in manual mode) or can hear dropouts or interference,
you either are too far away to receive the control channel and the system or there is
some interference source that will inhibit tracking and reception. Motorola systems
are limited to a maximum of 28 frequencies per site. EDACS systems are limited
to 25 frequencies per site. Motorola and EDACS systems can be either analog,
digital, or mixed (digital and analog talkgroups). Mixed Motorola systems should
be programmed as Motorola systems and not P25 digital systems. That way the
talkgroup options will allow you to select if it is a digital or analog.
LTR systems work a little differently. LTR systems typically do not have a dedicated
control channel. This type of system encodes all trunking information as digital
subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. The frequencies also have to
have the LCN (Logical Channel Number) programmed for the scanner to trunktrack
properly. Each repeater has its own controller, and all of these controllers are
synchronized together. Even though each controller monitors its own channel, one
of the channel controllers is assigned to be a master that all controllers report to.
Each of these controllers sends out a data burst approximately every 10 seconds so
that the subscriber units know that the system is there. This data burst is not sent at
the same time by all the channels, but happens randomly throughout all the system
channels. If you listen to the frequencies of an LTR system in manual mode (not
trunking), on every channel in the system you will hear this data burst that will sound
17
like a short blip of static like someone keyed up and unkeyed a radio within about
500 msec. LTR systems are limited to 20 frequencies per system.
UNDERSTANDING MULTI-SITE TRUNKING
Some Motorola and EDACS systems covering a very large geographic area use
multiple antenna sites that each operate on different frequencies and use the same
talkgroup IDs for traffic. Each site has its own set of trunking frequencies and is
monitored like a single system. Each site can have its own quick key, so you can
turn each individual site on or off while you scan. Program your talkgroups into
channel groups within that system and all talkgroups in the system are available to
every site so they don’t have to be reprogrammed for each site. Since all sites share
all the talkgroups within the system, multi-site trunking is much more efficient than
programming each site as a separate system.

PLANNING SYSTEMS, SITES, AND GROUPS
Planning your systems will be very important even if you do have the software.
Number Tags Numbers for system and channel tags can range from 0 to 999.
Systems can have the same number tag but you will get a warning. Same warning
applies to channels. You can assign number tags to channels even if the system
does not have a number tag but, without a system number tag, you can only
navigate to these channels while holding or scanning in that system. See also Using
Number Tags.
If two systems/searches have the same number tag, they will be selected in
sequence (the rst time you select the number tag, the scanner will go to the rst
system/search assigned to that number tag; if you select the same number tag
again, it will go to the 2nd system/search assigned to that number tag, and so on).
The same rule applies to channel number tags (so don’t start at 1 for each channel
group in the system).
Alerts You can program your scanner to alert you when, a channel is received, you
receive a Close Call hit, a talkgroup ID is transmitted with an emergency alert, you
get close to a POI (Point of Interest)/Dangerous Road/Dangerous Crossing, or you
receive a Tone-Out hit. For each alert in the scanner, you can select from 9 different
tone patterns, 15 volume settings, and 2 ash patterns.
41
Startup Keys You can program each of your conventional systems, trunked sites,
service searches, or custom searches with a ‘Startup Key’ (0-9) so that when you
power up the scanner and press the key number, just those systems/sites/searches
assigned to the key will be enabled for scan (groups are not effected). See also
Using Startup Keys.

trunking frequencies now go), create groups in the systems, create channels in the
groups, then program the frequencies or IDs into the channels. Or, you can Quick
store freqs or Quick store IDs (only after you program the trunking system and site).
Trunking IDs only go into trunking system groups and conventional frequencies only
go into conventional system groups. You can only store one trunking system per
‘system’. You can store up to 500 systems, up to 20 groups per system, and up to
1000 frequencies or 500 IDs per group. Total channels are limited to about 25,000.
Also, remember that conventional frequencies and IDs are considered channels.
Note for Private Systems: Using software, you can ag a system so that it cannot
be read out of the scanner, modied, or deleted. There are no settings in the scanner
to do this. You can still use the system as you would normally (system/channel
lockouts/unlock, volume offset, attenuate, etc), but you cannot access it in the menu.
Also, you cannot upload the system back to the scanner and must delete or modify
it with the software.

USING THE BCD325P2 WITH A GPS
LOCATION-BASED SCANNING
You can connect the scanner to an optional GPS device (BC-GPSK using the BC-
UTGC cable) and set the scanner to automatically lock and unlock trunked sites and
channel groups based on the location information and range settings you program
for those sites/groups. This frees you from having to manually enable and disable
sites/groups as you change location. The BCD325P2 uses the data, supplied by an
(optional) attached GPS unit, that lets the radio automatically unlock and lockout
sites/groups based on latitude and longitude. It uses the (programmed) center of the
site/group, and the (programmed) range - the radius of a circle around the latitude
and longitude up to 125 miles from that center.
A good application of this feature would be to set the longitude and latitude for each
multi-site system transmitter as usually you can receive at least a handful in any
given location.
You can nd the physical location of antennas using the databases available at
Radio Reference or the FCC’s Antenna Structure Registration site. Both sites list
the latitude, longitude, and height of the antenna, and both sites can map the exact
location for you. Radio Reference is more user-friendly, so it’s easier to nd what
you’re looking for.
NON RADIO LOCATION-BASED GPS FEATURES
When connected to a GPS, you can program specic location information which will
trigger an alert from the scanner. The scanner becomes an extension of the GPS
device. Even if you don’t use the scanner to scan, you can enhance you GPS unit
with information the scanner provides. The scanner also allows you to program audio
and/or visual alerts for a:
Point of Interest (POI): Stores location and range. If you approach the set
location, the radio sounds an alert up to 4 miles/km from the center.
Dangerous Road/Dangerous Crossing: Stores location, direction of travel, and
speed. If you are traveling at a speed greater than that specied, in the direction
specied, and if you are within range of the set location, the scanner sounds an
alert at 1, .5, and .1 miles/km from the point. These range distances are also
automatic and xed.
You can also temporarily lockout (cancel) any combination of these alerts.
CONNECTING YOUR SCANNER
Connect BC-GPS (receiver) and BC-UTGC (cable) to USB port, following the
instructions provided with them.
66
The scanner displays ‘Searching for Satellite’ in GPS Display Mode until it receives
the signal from the satellite if you have your connections and baud rate set correctly.
The rst time the scanner starts receiving a signal from the GPS, it beeps and briey
displays ‘GPS Connected’ and (temporary) locks and unlocks all sites and groups
that are ‘enabled for scan’, unlocked, and whose quick key is enabled according to
your current location. If you have a lot of data programmed, it might take the scanner
a couple of minutes to complete the process. Once the scanner completes the initial
GPS review, if you move into or out of an area covered by a site/group, the scanner
beeps and displays the name of the site/group and whether it is being locked or
unlocked.
If you cycle power, all sites/groups (enabled for scan) are unlocked until the scanner
reacquires the GPS signal and completes the initial GPS review.
When the scanner does not receive GPS data, the scanner displays “No GPS Input”.

PRIORITY/PRIORITY ID/PRIORITY PLUS SCAN
Priority Scan When scanning a conventional system, scanning is interrupted (based
on the priority check interval setting) to check priority channels for activity. The more
channels you have set to priority, the longer the interruption is. The scanner cannot
scan over 100 priority channels at once. The quick keys for the system(s) and
group(s) containing the priority channel(s) have to be enabled (and unlocked) or the
scanner will display ‘Priority Scan No Channel’.
Priority Plus Scan the scanner only scans priority channels in (unlocked)
conventional systems with system and group quick keys enabled.
The highest priority is for channels in system/site and group quick key 1. The lowest
priority is for channels in system/site quick key 90 and group quick key 0. Priority for
priority channels in the same channel group follows the order in which the channels
were created.
Priority ID Scan this function is similar to conventional priority although there is no
interruption during the transmission. Priority ID Scan is always on for a system if
enabled in the system setting. Priority is checked in between transmissions, when
the scanner is receiving the control channel, and during the channel delay period.
The scanner can only look for priority IDs in the trunked system it is currently
scanning.
Preemptive Priority preemptive priority is a feature that works on Motorola
systems. If the Motorola system has priority channels, and you assign one of those
TGs as priority in the scanner, then when one of those channels becomes active,
the scanner will jump to it even if it is on a different system voice channel (i.e. it
preempts your current reception). This feature relies on the system itself having
talkgroups assigned as priority (so the active channel information is included on
voice channel low-speed data). If a talkgroup you assign as priority is not also a
priority channel on the transmitting system, then the scanner will use standard
trunking priority for the talkgroup.
To Use Priority Scan you must rst set your priority channels.
To Use Priority ID Scan you must also enable Priority ID Scan for each system.
To Edit Priority Scan Options:
1. Press Menu.
2. Scroll to ‘Priority Scan’ and press E/yes.
3. Scroll to the options below and press E/yes.
4. Press Scan/Srch to return to scanning when done with editing.
Set Priority sets the priority mode. You can also toggle these modes by pressing
Func then .no(pri) in scan mode.
1. Scroll to 1 of 3 options and press E/yes.
77
Off - the priority feature is off.
On - the scanner checks conventional priority channels, and priority IDs
within systems that have priority ID enabled.
PRI - appears in the display when you select this mode.
Plus On - the scanner only scans the conventional priority channels.
PRI - ashes in the display when you select this mode.
Set Internval sets how often the scanner checks the priority channels.
1. Scroll to ‘Set Interval’ and press E/yes.
2. Enter the number of seconds (1-10) and press E/yes to save and exit.
MaxCHs/PRI-Scan sets the maximum priority channel numbers that are scanned
during one priority scan interrupt. If there are more priority channels than the value
you select, the channels are divided into more than one group and the scanner
scans each group in turn. For example, if you set the maximum channels to 20 and
there are 100 priority channels, the scanner checks those 100 channels in groups of
20 and takes a total of 5 intervals to complete the priority scan.
1. Scroll to ‘MaxCHs/PRI-Scan’ and press E/yes.
2. Enter the number of number of channels to check (1-100) and press E/yes
to save and exit.
USING STARTUP KEYS
To Use a Startup Key:
1. Turn the scanner off.
2. Press and hold the number key that corresponds to the startup key when you
turn the scanner on.
3. Continue holding the number key until the scanner display shows the number
of the startup key configuration.
When you use startup conguration, the scanner checks all systems, sites, and
search ranges and:
All systems, sites, or search ranges that do not have a startup key assigned
will be scanned the way they were when you last turned off the scanner.
All systems, sites, or search ranges that have a the startup key you pressed
are unlocked.
All systems, sites, or search ranges that have a startup key other than the
one you pressed are locked out.
The scanner remembers the last conguration you used when you power up the
scanner using just the power key.
78
Caution: If you press the wrong key when you press the power key to set your
startup conguration, and that wrong key doesn’t have any systems assigned to that
key, the scanner will lock out all systems that have startup keys.
SCANNING SYSTEMS
With earlier scanners, you selected banks to scan that had channels stored in them.
With this scanner, you select ‘System Quick Keys’ to scan that have ‘Systems’,
‘Sites’, or Custom/Service Searches assigned to them. So, now you turn ‘System/
Site/Search Quick Keys’ on and off and ‘Group Quick Keys’ on and off (within each
‘System’ or ‘Site’). Turning quick keys on and off for systems/groups/sites/searches is
not the same as locking and unlocking systems/sites/searches. You can still do that
separately (if you really want to confuse yourself). See also Using Quick Keys.
First, all (unlocked) systems/sites belonging to Quick Key 1 are scanned. Then
systems/sites that belong to Quick Key 2,…,9,0,11,…19,10,21,……,99,90 are
scanned in order. Systems/sites with the same quick key are scanned in order of
creation. Systems/sites with no quick key are scanned last and in order of creation
(including created ‘Quick Save’ systems).
Groups within the systems/sites are scanned with the same rules.
Conventional channels within the groups are scanned in order of creation.
IDs are not really scanned. The scanner checks for any activity in the trunking
system by monitoring the control channel and and, if any ID becomes active, the
scanner displays it in ‘ID Search’ mode. In ‘ID Scan’ mode, the scanner only display
IDs programmed in to groups.
Then the scanner starts any (unlocked/enabled) service searches, searching them in
the menu order. Then any (unlocked/enabled) custom searches from 1 to 10 in turn.
Then the scanner scans the system called ‘Close Call’. This system is created if
you do a Close Call ‘Auto Store’. If the ‘Close Call’ system has no frequencies, the
scanner does not scan the system.
Then the scanner scans the ‘Close Call Hits’ system (if you have unlocked it; locked
out by default). This is a system that automatically stores the frequencies found by
Close Call. If the ‘Close Call Hits’ system has no frequencies, the scanner does not
scan the system.
Then the scanner starts all over.
Press Scan/Srch. The scanner scans a system for the duration you set using the
‘system hold time’ option. For trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next
system after the hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and the channel
delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all (unlocked) channels
are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.
79
Notes: If no systems are programmed, or all systems (or groups in a system)
are locked out or turned off, ‘Nothing to Scan’ appears. Turn on a system/site
quick key or unlock a system/site to scan. If you turn off all groups in a system
you will not be able to turn any back on and also see ‘Nothing to Scan’. In that
case, while in Scan mode, press and hold Func to lock function mode. Scroll
to the system then press the number of the group quick key(s) you want to
enable. Press Func to start scanning then press Func again to unlock function
mode.
Any conventional system, Close Call system, trunked site, group, service search,
custom search, or ‘Quick Save’ system/group not assigned to a quick key (and/or not
locked out) will be scanned.

BAND SCOPE MODE
88
The Band Scope feature lets you have the scanner provide a visual representation
of radio activity in a frequency band. The screen is arranged with the frequencies
increasing in value from left-to-right, and a signal strength meter for signals. Band
Scope Mode searches a frequency range and displays the signal level in real time.
You can set the center frequency and span of the frequency range. In Hold Mode,
you can monitor the displayed frequency.
The scanner rapidly sweeps between the endpoints of the selected frequency range
and updates each bar segment with the relative signal strength in each pass. You
can use the band scope in normal mode (the bars are all updated with the most
recent signal strength) or ‘Max Hold Mode’ (the bars update only if there is a stronger
signal than one previously stored for the current position).
This feature allows you to get a “picture” of spectrum activity across the selected
range, identify intermittently active frequencies, check antenna performance, check
coax quality, verify coverage areas, and identify interference.
USING BAND SCOPE MODE
To start Band Scope mode Hold on any channel and press Func then 3(Sr 3) to start
Band Scope mode at the frequency you held at. Band Scope mode is assigned to
this Search Key (3) by default.
Search Mode ‘SRCH’ shows in the display and the scanner searches and displays
the signals of the frequency range in real time. The frequency range is shown in
32 bars determined by the center frequency and span. While searching, the center
frequency icon and the bar which shows the current frequency blink. The scanner
starts from the lowest frequency of the frequency range and searches to the highest
frequency of the frequency range. If the scanner nds a transmission, the scanner
displays the strongest and most current signal level in the bar for each frequency in
the range.
Max Hold Search Mode ‘MAX’ shows in the display and will freeze the signal
strength bars at their strongest signals.
89
Hold Mode ‘HOLD’ shows in the display and allows you hold the sweep then scroll

Repeater Find this feature sets whether the scanner tries to tune to a repeater
output frequency when it detects a transmission on a repeater input frequency in
Search and Close Call modes. Since you can normally only hear one side of a
conversation when you listen to an input frequency transmission, turning this feature
on can let you hear both sides of the conversation on the output frequency. If the
scanner detects the transmission on the output frequency, it beeps and ‘Repeater
Found’ appears, and it remains on the output frequency until transmissions end. The
default setting is Off.

P25 Waiting Time basically gives the scanner time to determine if frequencies
have digital or analog transmissions for Quick Search, Close Call, and Band Scope
operations. During this time, the scanner will evaluate the received signal and, if
it detects P25 data, will open squelch immediately. If P25 is not detected before
the delay expires, the scanner will open squelch at the end of this delay. This is to
prevent “false decode” problems (digital noise at the beginning of transmissions).
The default setting is 400 ms.
1. Scroll to ‘P25 Wait Time’ and press E/yes.
2. Set the Wait Time from 0 to 1000 ms and press E/yes.

CLOSE CALL MENU
Your scanner’s Close Call feature lets you set the scanner so it detects, alerts you
to, and displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission. You can set
the scanner so the Close Call feature checks for a Close Call hit every 2 seconds in
the background while you are scanning or searching or use Close Call only mode.
It automatically displays the frequency. ‘Close Call Do-Not-Disturb’ only checks for
Close Call signals when you are not receiving transmissions. You can also set the
frequency band(s) where you want the scanner to look for transmissions. When the
scanner detects a Close Call hit, it alerts you according to the override and alert
settings. You can also set the scanner to Auto Store Close Call hits.
‘Hits with Scan’ is a special system that automatically stores the last 10 Close Call
hits until you cycle power. The system ‘Close Call’ is created when you run a Close
Call Auto Store.
The Close Call feature works well for locating the source of strong local
transmissions such as mobile and handheld two-way radios in areas with no
other strong transmission sources. Several factors affect Close Call performance.
Performance is increased with higher transmit power, receive antenna tuned to
the target band, and a low background RF level. Other than the antenna, you
have no control over these factors, but they explain why performance might vary
by both location and time. The Close Call feature works better with some types of
transmissions than others. It might not correctly display frequency information for
transmitters using a highly directional antenna (such as an amateur radio beam
antenna) or if many transmitters operate at the same time in the same area.
To Edit Close Call Options, press Menu.
1. Scroll to ‘Close Call’ and press E/yes.

Programming SAME Groups SAME (Specic Area Messaging System) is a system
developed by the National Weather Service to reduce the number of alerts received
by consumers by allowing them to hear alerts only for the county(ies) they are
interested in. Each alert contains information about the type and severity of the alert,
as well as the specic geographic locations affected by the alert. In addition, certain
special regions and wildcard settings can be assigned. Your scanner can receive all
SAME alert signals broadcast within about a 50-mile radius of where you use it.
To receive SAME alerts and broadcasts about weather occurring only in particular
counties within that area, you can program up to 5 groups of 8 FIPS codes (40
codes) into the scanners memory. This lets you avoid hearing an alert that applies to
an area within a 50-mile radius but not necessarily to your county or parish.
For the purpose of broadcasting weather information, the NWS has divided the
United States into regions by state and county (or parish, where applicable) then
assigned a 6-digit FIPS code to identify each county or parish. For example, the
code for Tarrant County, Texas, is 048439. The rst digit in a FIPS code identies
the county subdivision, the next two digits identify the state, and the last three digits
identify the county or parish. Most FIPS codes begin with 0, which means the code
represents an entire county. The NWS, however, plans to eventually subdivide some
large counties. When that happens, each subdivision will be assigned a digit from
1-9, resulting in codes such as 148439, 248439, and so on.
To obtain the FIPS code for the location where you installed your scanner call the
NWS toll free at 1-888-697-7263 (follow the instructions you hear).
109
FIPS codes are in the format nSSCCC:
n: A special subcounty designator. For an entire county, use 0.
SS: The state code.
CCC: The county code.

This mode prevents accidental programming changes and prevents anyone from
changing modes. Some keys don’t work in this mode. SQ, Vol/Light, the scroll control
/ , Vol/Light, the scroll control, Function Mode, and Hold all still work in
their primary functions. The scanner only operates in one mode; the mode the
scanner was in when the radio was last turned off. So, if you turned the scanner off
in Close Call mode and turn it back on in Key-Safe mode, that’s the mode you’re
stuck with.
To turn Key-Safe mode on or off press and hold Func then turn on the scanner. The
rst time (only) you turn on the scanner in Key-Safe mode you will see ‘Key Safe
Mode On’.
In the following tables, keys with numbers in each mode refer to the legend below
each chart. Keys (or Function + keys) with an ‘X’ will not work in that mode and will
give you the ‘Key-Safe’ display. Keys with blank cells work as normal for each mode.

Type II Special Status Bits
Type II Motorola Smartnet systems use these status bits for special transmissions
such as emergency, patches, DES/DVP scrambled transmissions, and multiselects.
Motorola trunking radios directly interpret them for their special functions, thus no
difference is noticed by the person with the radio. The scanner however interprets
these special talk group status bits as different talk groups entirely. Below is the
conversion chart for these special status bits.
120
TT ID + # Usage TT ID + # Usage
ID+0 Normal Talkgroup ID+8 DES/DVP Encryption
Talkgroup
ID+1 All Talk troup ID+9 DES All Talkgroup
ID+2 Emergency ID+10 DES Emergency
ID+3 Talkgroup patch to another ID+11 DES Talkgroup patch
ID+4 Emergency Patch ID+12 DES Emergency Patch
ID+5 Emergency Patch ID+13 DES Emergency multi-group
ID+6 Not Assigned ID+14 Not Assigned
ID+7 Multi-select (initiated by
Dispatcher)
ID+15 Multi-select DES TG
Therefore, if a user was transmitting a multi-select call on talkgroup 1808, the
scanner would actually receive those transmissions on 1815. Some common uses of
these status bits are as follows:
When a user hits their emergency button, all conversations on the talkgroup
revert to the emergency status talkgroup (ID+2) until the dispatch clears the
emergency status. Therefore, if someone hit their emergency button and their
radio was on talkgroup 16, all communications would switch to talkgroup 18.
A lot of Fire and EMS departments dispatch tone-outs and alarms as Multi-
select communications (ID+7). Therefore, if your re department dispatch
talkgroup is 1616, and they do dispatch tone-outs and alarms as Multi-
selects, then those communications will be on talkgroup 1623.

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital Coded Squelch
(DCS) are two methods used to prevent interference by other radio communications.
Your scanner can receive transmissions that use these codes.
CTCSS and DCS systems all use some form of coded squelch. Coded squelch
involves the transmission of a special code signal along with the audio of a radio
transmission. A receiver with coded squelch only activates when the received signal
has the correct code. This lets many users share a single frequency, and decreases
interference caused by distant transmitters on the same channel. In all major
metropolitan areas of the United States, every available radio channel is assigned to
more than one user.
CTCSS TONES
The scanner can detect the following 50 CTCSS tones.
67.0Hz 94.8Hz 131.8Hz 171.3Hz 203.5Hz
69.3Hz 97.4Hz 136.5Hz 173.8Hz 206.5Hz
