Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner initially, you may not receive any signals. To navigate through the Menu screen is really quite simple.
Many of the features of this scanner, can only be accessed by the menu screens. There are several ways to get through the screens. First of all, press MENU to get started. If you are near an unusually strong signal source, the signal may overload the scanner. The scanner may stop repeatedly on that signal and miss other transmissions. Steps are important if you are interested in using the VFO to tune off-frequency from a frequency programmed into memory or if you wish to program a frequency that the default step size will not accept.
Page 25 Within the system, no one outside of these two users hears the conversation. Page 26 You can change to display the talkgroups in decimal mode, but this mode does not provide you with nearly the flexibility that you get with AFS. For details on AFS see pages This means that you will receive all transmissions on any frequencies that are active within your search range s.
Repeat this procedure for each channel you want to program. Storing Frequencies into Channels 1. Select frequencies from your dealer, from various sources on the internet, or from one of the guides listed on page 5.
Press to clear and start again. Storing Text Tags You can customize your scanner by storing text tags for easy identification of banks, channel transmissions, trunking talkgroup IDs, etc. Page Beep Alert Beep Alert The scanner can alert you with three rapid beeps at the beginning of a transmission on an assigned frequency.
Page Scanning 1. After programming frequencies, simply press SCAN to begin scanning. The bank indicators selected for scanning appear in the display, and the bank being currently monitored flashes.
You can deselect banks from active scanning by pressing their number on your keypad. The indicator for each deselected bank turns off, and the banks channels are not scanned.
Lastly to step up through the channels one at a time, repeatedly press MAN. Page Channel Lockout 5. Press L or M to select one of the delay periods provided and then press E. DLY appears on the display unless no delay has been set. The scanner immediately resumes scanning because the locked out channel is no longer in the scanning sequence. Restoring a Locked-out Channel 1. Page Changing The Priority Channel Changing the Priority Channel You cannot eliminate the Priority Channel, but you can change it to any one of the 50 available channels in each bank.
Press MAN. To select a new Priority Channel: a. Enter the channel number. Page Searching Setting a Search Range Note: First you must set the search ranges through the menu screen prior to any searching.
The BCXLT can search up to 10 separate frequency ranges to help you discover new stations in your area. To set a search range, enter into the menu mode. Page Search Hold Feature 3. Press SRCH to resume searching. Data Skip A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search.
To activate the data skip feature, enter into the menu mode. Caution: You must select the channel in which you will store the frequency before entering the search mode. Otherwise, you may erase a stored frequency that you want to keep. Page Service Search The Service Search feature allows you to toggle through the following ten preprogrammed services. The frequencies selected for these services are the most commonly used around the U. These codes specify an emergency and the specific geographic area such as county affected by the emergency.
These systems are described here. Motorola systems are widely used by public safety and business users. Most are on the MHz band, and recent systems are appearing on other bands.
Page Programming And Receiving Trunked Systems Programming and Receiving Trunked Systems Programming Trunking Frequencies The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10 available banks in your scanner.
Remember that you can only store one trunking system in each bank. A tone sounds, and E, M, or L icon appears on the display according to the system selected. In a few keystrokes, you can specify a single talkgroup, a fleet, or an entire agency in all the above modes. You should read the appropriate parts of this guide to understand the formats. The bottom line of the display indicates the Bank and the type of trunked system you are monitoring. You can change this to display a bank tag by using the System Menu.
Regardless of the system, you won't know exactly who you are receiving until you listen for awhile, or refer to frequency guides or internet sites such as www. Page Restoring Locked-Out Ids 2. To exit from this mode, press MENU repeatedly. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite IDs.
Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of IDs for each trunk tracking bank. Press E. Press SCAN to begin scanning the lists you have programmed. During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not a talkgroup.
Here are some highlights of this feature: You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at one time. This indicates that the radio is scanning conventional banks and Trunk searching trunking banks. Page Edacs Reception Notice how the dotted line shows talkgroup moving from channel to channel. EDACS systems are organised in a logical way that keeps related talkgroups together.
Your scanner is designed to take maximum advantage of this organisation to make your scanning easy. The individual talkgroups cannot be shown at this scale because there are over However the chart can show the 16 Agencies in this example. The system is logical and easy to understand. These systems encode all trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.
Type I only occurs on some MHz systems. One important distinction between these two systems is the amount of data transmitted by each radio when its push-to-talk button PTT is pressed. However, if you notice a mix of odd and even user IDs, for example , , , , , etc. Page Programming A Hybrid System 3. Select the size code for the first block using , or VFO.
The next available block displays. Repeat step 3 and 4 until you have selected a size code for each block. Page Toggling The Status Bit On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialised types of communications utilise unique talkgroup numbers.
If you have programmed talkgroup into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group, you will hear it on Voice channel also known as "working channel" frequencies do not have to be programmed into memory. When using this feature, the scanner will display "CC" and channel activity indicator bars will not operate. Page Disconnect Tone Detect Option Disconnect Tone Detect Option End Code When this function is disabled, the radio looks for squelch before returning to the control channel instead of waiting for the disconnect tone.
Only in rare instances will you need to adjust the default settings. The condition to return to control channels depends on whether the signal is present or not. After connecting the two scanners, turn the radios on. Prepare each scanner for clone mode as follows. Press MENU. Page Additional Features Additional Features The following additional features are designed for you to customise your scanner.
Once these features have been turned on or off, they will remain as they are set until you reset them, even if you turn the scanner off and then on again. Dimmer To change brightness of the display: 1.
Page 69 Reverse Mode This key will allow the user to observe the reverse frequency of the repeater. The scanner contains no user serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Centre or take it to a qualified repair technician. If your scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Improper reception. Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adaptor. Scanner will not acquire data channel.
Missing replies to conversations. Channel Activity Indicators are flashing but no sound is heard. Suggestion 1. May not be a system which can be tracked by your scanner. Control Channel - A Control Channel is the frequency within a trunking system that runs the system. Page 75 PC Control - This term is associated with the ability to program frequencies and other useful information via a computer by means of the Uniden national database or third party software. You can change the transfer speed on the scanner needed to be compatible with your PC.
When you program your scanner to track a Type I system, you must select a size code for each of these blocks.

Uniden New Zealand Ltd. Trunking radio systems solve this problem. In a trunked radio system, which contains up to 28 different frequencies, radio users are divided into groups, often called talkgroups, and these talkgroups are assigned specific IDs. When someone in a talkgroup uses their radio, a brief burst of data is broadcasted before each transmission. The trunking system computer uses this data to temporarily assign each radio in a talkgroup to an available frequency.
If the group using a frequency stops broadcasting or pauses between replies for a few seconds, they are removed from the frequency so another talkgroup can use it.
Sharing of the available public service frequencies, or trunking, allows cities, counties, or other agencies to accommodate hundreds of users with relatively few frequencies. Following a conversation on a trunked system using a scanner is difficult, if not impossible.
Not only does your new UBCXLT scan channels like a conventional scanner, it actually follows the users of a trunked radio system. If you're a new scanner enthusiast, you may want to read the first part of this manual and use your scanner in conventional mode before you begin trunk tracking. Understanding scanning fundamentals and its terminology will make trunk tracking much easier. A glossary of other commonly used terms is provided in the back.
But if you're already an experienced scanner operator, you may want to skip to Trunked System on page Scan conventional and trunked systems at the same time.
You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode. Note : The frequency coverage is not continuous and excludes the MHz band. Assigning a priority channel allows you to keep track of activity on your most important channel s while monitoring other channels for transmissions. You can also assign trunking priority talkgroups. This applies only to transmission bands with 5 kHz steps. If any of these items are missing or damaged, immediately contact your place of purchase.
You must install an antenna before you can operate the scanner. You have been provided a standard telescopic antenna that works well with this scanner, but you may want to purchases another type to increase the range. You can purchase a variety of scanner antennas for both mobile and base station available at a local electronics store. Choose the one that best meets your needs. When deciding on a mobile or base station antenna and its location, consider these points.
Once you choose an antenna, follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna. Then route the antenna cable to the scanner. The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or an outdoor base station antenna.
Always use 50 ohm coaxial cable, such as RG or RG-8, to connect an outdoor antenna. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. Follow the Installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the antenna cable to the scanner, then connect it to the ANT. Warning : Use extreme caution when you install or remove an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death.
Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do it yourself. If you have chosen an optional mobile antenna, connect the antenna plug into the ANT connector on the rear of the scanner. For more information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide that came with your antenna. The UBCXLT can be conveniently mounted on a table, bulkhead, overhead, or any other desired location refer to figure below for typical mounting methods.
Caution : Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the desired location before proceeding. Check that free access for mounting and cabling. Before you mount the scanner, make sure you have all the necessary materials.
This unit requires a mounting area of 61mm high by Caution : Be sure to avoid obstructions behind the mounting surface.
Choose a mounting location, then use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions for. In the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the supplied screws. Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting location using the supplied screws and lock washers.
Attach the scanner to the mounting bracket using the supplied mounting knobs. Caution : You must use a power source that supplies Your standard 12V car battery should be sufficient.
The supplied DC power cord meets these specifications. Using a power cord that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor or DC power cord from the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner.
Be sure that the screw is not insulated from the frame by a plastic part. To connect the supplied DC cigarette-lighter power cord, insert its barrel plug into the DC This is normal.
You can place this scanner on a desk, shelf, or table to use it as a base station. Extend the antenna to full vertical position. Adjust the angle for best reception.
To power the scanner from an AC outlet, use the provided AC adaptor with a 5. Caution : You must use only the AC adaptor provided as power source that supplies. Using an adaptor that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor from the AC power before you disconnect it from the scanner. Note : Use only the AC adaptor supplied with your scanner.
In a noisy area, an external speaker available at a local electronics store positioned in the right place might provide more comfortable. For private listening, you can connect an earphone not supplied with a 3. Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of. Once the earphone is connected, it will automatically disconnects the internal speaker. To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.
Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit available through your local electronics store. Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of cables and tape recorders. The LINE icon appears on all channels that have been properly marked.
Do not set the volume on minimum. Make a trial taping to be certain the volume levels are set correctly. The scanner automatically starts scanning. Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner initially, you may not receive any signals. Once you set the squelch and program some frequencies, you will be hearing conversations regularly.
To set the squelch, you must be in the Manual mode, and you should not be receiving a signal on your scanner. Think of the Squelch Control as a gate. Next you must program some frequencies. It is very important for you to understand the Menu screen. To navigate through the Menu screen is really quite simple. Many of the features of this scanner, can only be accessed by the menu screens.
There are several ways to get through the screens. First of all, press MENU to get started. Any time you want to exit this mode or simply quit from where you are, repeatedly press MENU until the scanner returns to the original state. Anytime you are in the Menu Mode, the audio will be muted.
To assist you in understanding the Menu screen, flow charts are provided towards the back of the manual so you can follow along. Two things to remember are scroll through the menu and execute the command. Once you have pressed the E key and executed the final choice for instance, ON or OFF , the display backs up to the previous level of options. Also direct entry of the numbers in the flow chart will get you through the screens, but the other screen options are not visible.
This method should be used only after you have gone through the manual at least once. A tearout shortcut card is provided in the front of the manual to assist you in the direct entry method for commonly used features. Below is the first level of the Menu screen.
These levels are then expanded on the foldout towards the back of the manual. You will find a description section to explain the meanings of these functions on the next few pages. Then, you will be walked through all the steps of programming, scanning, searching, and trunktracking. Screen Mask allows you to limit what appears on the display to the alpha tags that you have set for a channel along with a few function icons. Screen Mask removes the frequency, receiving mode, tone data, signal strength bars, and the trunking repeater activity indicators.
Screen Mask does not work in Search mode. Use this function to turn off the keypad acknowledgement beep. The default setting is on. Use Enter Lock to prevent accidental re-programming of channels and talkgroups entered into memory. The default setting is off. Use this function to set the transfer speed baud rate at which your personal computer PC communicates with the scanner when downloading information into your scanner using the third party software.
See page 55 for details. You can clone all the programming, including frequencies, talkgroups and alpha tags as well as bank settings and other parameters from one UBCXLT to another. A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search. The Squelch Mode allows you to set, at your option, whether the scanner will stop on all active transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only respond to transmissions with a pre-set sub-audible tone.
This applies to both conventional search and scan modes.
