About Your New SportCat
The SportCat™ is a state-of-the-art information radio with
automatic scanning capabilities. It can store frequencies
such as sporting events, police, fire/emergency, and other
communications into 10 banks of 20 channels each. And
you can scan all 200 channels at super fast Turbo Scan
speed.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously.
The SportCat scans programmed channels at the rate of
nearly 100 CH 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. Or, you can select an
optional delay so the scanner stays on the channel for 2
more seconds after the transmission stops, waiting for
another transmission, before resuming scanning.
While the SportCat is scanning channels, it is in “SCAN
Mode”. When you stop the scanning with
, it is in
“MANUAL Mode”.
What is Searching?
The SportCat can search each of 12 preprogrammed
bands to find active frequencies. This is different from
scanning, because you can search for frequencies that
have not been programmed into your SportCat. You can
also search within the range of frequencies you have
programmed before. You can set the direction of searching
as well as the speed. The Turbo Search feature, new for
Uniden scanners, can search VHF bands at up to 3 times
the normal speed.
When the SportCat is searching for active frequencies, it is
in “TURBO SEARCH Mode” or “TWIN TURBO SEARCH
Mode”. When you stop the search with
, it is in
“SEARCH HOLD Mode”.
