Locked out channels are skipped (or ignored) during scanning.
If a system, site, or channel group is locked, all channels belonging to it will be skipped during scanning.
Temporary Lockout
Sites, Systems, Channels, or Frequencies temporarily locked out are automatically unlocked when power is
cycled.
Quick Keys
You can assign an SQK (System/Site/Search Quick Key) from 0-99.
You can assign a GQK (channel Group Quick Key) from 0-9.
Quick keys can be rapidly enabled/disabled from the keypad during scanning.
Startup Configuration
You can assign a startup configuration key to a system or search range so that it can be automatically
locked out or unlocked during power up.
Channel Alert
You can set a separate audible/visual alert for each channel.
Alpha Tagging
You can assign an alphanumeric name to each System, Site, Channel Group, Channel, Location, Custom
search range, SAME group, and Tone-Out. You can use 16 characters per tag.
Duplicate Input Alert
The scanner will alert you if an entered alpha tag, frequency, etc has already been used in the same
system.
Number Tag
You can assign a unique number tag from 0-999 to each system and to each channel within a system. This
tag allows you to rapidly tune to a specific channel.
Trunk Tracking
The scanner can track the following types of trunked systems:
xMotorola Type I 800
xMotorola Type II 800, 900, UHF, VHF
xMotorola Rebanded
xEDACS Wide, Narrow, SCAT
xEDACS ESK (No ProVoice Decoding)
xLTR
xAPCO P25 Standard, P25 One-Frequency

Multi-Site System
All trunked systems can have more than one site. All sites in the system share the same Channel Groups
and Channels.
Control Channel Only
Trunk Tracking can be achieved by entering only the control channels for Motorola and P25 systems.
P25 One-Frequency Trunking
The scanner can follow individual talk groups on P25 single-frequency systems that use both NAC and
d'/s for squelch control and user identification. ID Search and ID Store are available, just like on trunked
systems.
Priority ID Scanning
Trunked channels can be assigned priority. When the scanner is monitoring the control channel, channels
you tag as priority are given a higher priority over non-priority channels when they become active.
Preemptive Priority ID Scanning
For Motorola systems that have channel priority active on the system, if you flag a channel as priority and
the system also has that TGID identified as a priority channel, the scanner will preempt any current
transmission if the TGID becomes active.
Trunking Activity Indicators
The scanner shows all trunked activity when you hold on the control channel.
Custom Search
You can program up to 10 custom search ranges and either search them exclusively or include these
searches when scanning.
Quick Search
If you hold on a conventional channel, you can start searching from the current frequency. If you hold on a
trunked channel, you can quickly switch to ID Search mode.
Frequency Autostore
The scanner can automatically store frequencies found during a search.
Search Speed / Turbo Search
x100 Steps/Second in search mode (max, except for 5 kHz steps)
x300 Steps/Second in search mode (max, 5 kHz steps)
xTurbo mode automatically applies to 5 kHz step searches.

Friday, November 07, 2008
12
Search Lockout
You can lock out up to 500 frequencies.
xThe limit of temporary L/O frequencies: 250
xThe limit of permanent L/O frequencies: 250
xLocked out frequencies will be skipped in Search Mode or Close Call Mode.
xYou can review all locked out frequencies in Menu Mode.
Search Key
Search keys are short cuts to start searching for a single search range.
There are 3 search keys (sr1 to sr3).
Service Search
You can search preset frequencies typically used by specific agencies or groups.
The kind of Service Search is as follows: Public Safety, News, HAM Radio, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio,
FRS/GMRS/MURS, Racing, FM Broadcast, Military Air, Special
Broadcast Screen
Allows the scanner to ignore hits on Pager, FM, UHF TV, VHF TV, NOAA WX and custom band frequencies.
Attenuator
You can attenuate the incoming signal for channels that get interference from strong signal sources.
You can set a global attenuator to apply attenuation to all reception.
Code Search
Rapid search for the CTCSS/DCS used during a transmission.
The scanner does not detect or decode P25 signals if you are operating CTCSS/DCS Search.
P25 NAC
P25 Network Access Code (NAC) is used to provide selective squelch operation on channels. The scanner
can also search for the NAC code that is being used on a P25 digital channel.
Volume Offset
Adjust the volume level for any channel from -3 to +3 steps to balance audio level.
IF Exchange
Switches the current frequency to use a different IF (intermediate frequency) for receiving radio signals to
avoid interference.

Friday, November 07, 2008
13
Dropout Delay
Controls whether the scanner pauses at the end of a transmission to wait for a reply.
You can set the Delay time for each System. All Channels in the System share the same delay setting. You
can also set the Delay time for Search, Close Call and Tone-Out.
You can set the minus delay time. In that case, the scanner only stops on transmissions for the set
duration, then automatically resumes.
Weather and SAME Alert
The scanner can alert to Weather Alert Tone, all FIPS or selected FIPS.
Close Call®Frequency Capture
The scanner can immediately detect and lock onto a transmission above threshold signal strength.
Close Call Temporary Store
The scanner scans the last 10 frequencies captured by Close Call so that you can continue to receive the
signal even after the signal is not strong enough to trigger a Close Call hit..
Tone-Out Sequential Decode
Lets you set the scanner to act as a two-tone pager for fire tone-out standby. If you do not know the tones
being used, the scanner can detect the tones when it receives a page.
Location-Based Scanning*
The scanner can automatically lock and unlock systems, sites and channel groups based on your current
location as provided by an external GPS unit (not included).
Location Alert System*
The scanner alerts you when you approached a stored location.
Navigation Modes*
Indicate the Direction / Distance / Time to Goal for locations you set.
GPS Compatibility*
Compatible GPS units output location data that conforms to NMEA-0183 v3.01. The scanner uses the GGA
and RMC sentences as defined by that specification. Note that this standard specifies an RS232 serial
connection. GPS units that have USB connectivity are not compatible with this scanner.
Wired Cloning
You can clone all programmed data, including Memory Architecture, Menu settings and other parameters
from one BCD396XT to another BCD396XT connected with RS232C cable.
Band Scope
Band Scope Mode searches a frequency range and displays a graphic of the signal level in real time.
In Band Scope Hold Mode, the user can monitor the frequency displayed.
