Basic Operation

Note: Fold out the Front Cover to see the Controls and

Indicators while reading this Guide.

Turn the Scanner On

Turn the

VOLUME

control clockwise out of the detent

position. bc245 flashes twice in the display. The scanner

automatically starts scanning.

Setting the Squelch

To set the squelch, you must be in the Manual mode, and

you should not be receiving a signal on your scanner.

1. Press until you do

not hear a signal.

2. Make sure that the

VOLUME is set to a

comfortable listening

level.

3. Think of the Squelch Control as a gate. Turn

SQUELCH fully counter-clockwise. This raises the

“Squelch Gate” so high that only very strong signals

can get through.

Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise until you hear a hiss.

This lowers the “Squelch Gate” so that everything

gets through—noise, weak signals, and strong

signals.
