•
Trunk Tracking – Follow VHF High Band UHF 800MHz trunked public safety and public
service systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used.
•
Multi-Track – Track more than one trunking system at a time. Scan conventional and
trunked systems at the same time.
•
250 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one
channel programmed to use the Scan mode.
•
13 Bands – Includes 13 bands, with aircraft and 800 MHz.
•
5 Banks – 5 banks with 50 channels each are useful for storing similar frequencies to
maintain faster scanning cycles or for storing all the frequencies of a trunked system.
•
25 MHz-956 MHz – Indicates the range of frequencies that can be searched within the
bands of your scanner.
Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous and excludes the cellelar telephone
Band.
•
5 Priority Channels – You can assign one priority channel in each bank. Assigning a
priority channel allows you to track activity on your most important channel(s) while
monitoring other channels for transmissions. You can also assign trunking priority
talkgroups.
• Data Skip – Allows your scanner to skip unwanted data transmissions and reduces
birdies.
•
Direct Channel Access – Go directly to any channel without entering programming mode.
•
Turbo Search – Increases the search speed to 300 steps per second. This applies only to
transmission bands with 5 kHz steps.
•
PC Programmable – Allows you to easily program all frequencies and Trunking Talk
Groups into your BCT8 through Uniden BCT8 Scanning software running on your PC.
