About Your New UBC60XLT
The UBC60XLT is a brand new state-of-the-art information
radio with automatic scanning capabilities. It can store
frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, amateur,
and other communications into 10 channels.
Feature Highlights
10 Channels Program one frequency in each channel. You
must have at least one channel programmed to use this
scanner.
8 Bands, 66 MHz - 512 MHz Scan these frequency ranges
with your scanner. (Note: The frequency coverage is not
totally continuous from 66.0 MHz to 512 MHz.)
Weather Channels Use your scanner as a weather
information radio. (Weather Service is currently not available in
Australia)
Memory Backup Frequencies programmed in the channels
are retained in memory for at least 1 day, and typically 3 days,
when batteries are removed from the scanner.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously.
The UBC60XLT scans programmed channels at the rate of
nearly 10 channels 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 scanner stays on the channel for 2
more seconds after the transmission stops, waiting for another
transmission. The scanning cycle then resumes until another
transmission is received.
While the UBC60XLT is scanning channels, it is in "SCAN
Mode”. When you stop the scanning with (MAN ), it is in
“MANUAL Mode".
