Basic Concept of scanning: Unlike standard AM
or FM radio stations, most two way
communications do not transmit
continuously.Your BCD396XT scans
programmed channels until it finds an active
frequency, then stops on that frequency and
remains on that channel as long as the
transmission continues. When the transmission
ends the scanning cycle resumes until the
scanner receives another transmission!
o L/O = lockout key!
o Backlight/power [B/P] key !
Each key has a second function printed in black next to the key!
The second function is enabled by press/release (pressing and
releasing) [Func] then pressing the desired key!
Essential controls for basic operation!
Turning the scanner off/on...press/hold [B/P] key!
Volume control...press/release SC then rotate SC control to desired
volume setting displayed onscreen.!
Squelch control!
Squelch excludes undesired lower-power input signals that may
be present at or near the frequency of the desired signal.
Squelch is a noise gate that only allows signals at a specified
strength over a specified threshold to be played through the
speaker(wikiped)!
To set the squelch level press/release [Func], press/release SC,
then rotate SC to desired squelch level!
