Scanning Overview
The BC278CLT has 100 memory channels. Each can be programmed to store one frequency
within the band of frequency coverage. (For a listing of frequency ranges and bands, see
Technical Specifications on page 38.)
When you press SCAN, the BC278CLT scans each programmed frequency for activity
(skipping channels that are locked out) at the rate of up to 25 channels per second. As the unit
scans, the word SCAN moves across the display and the bank number flashes.
When the scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as long as the
transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes. If you are in
the delay mode, the scanner stays on the channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding
transmission. If no responding transmission is detected, the scanning cycle resumes.
