headset.
Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from
the speaker before plugging in the monaural earphone or
headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort
or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly becomes
too loud because of the volume control or squelch control
setting. This might be particularly true of the type of
earphone that is placed in the ear canal.

SCANNING BASICS
This section provides a background on how scanning works.
You don’t really need to know all of this to use your scanner,
but some background knowledge will help you get the most
from your UBC75XLT.
WHAT IS SCANNING?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications do not transmit continuously. Your
UBC75XLT scans programmed channels until it nds 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 it
receives another transmission on a programmed channel.
WHAT IS SEARCHING?
The UBC75XLT searches for active frequencies. This is
dierent from scanning because you are searching for
frequencies that have not been programmed into the
scanner. When you select frequency bands to search, the
scanner searches for any active frequency within the lower
and upper limits you specify for that band. When the scanner
nds an active frequency, it stops on that frequency as
long as the transmission lasts. If you think the frequency is
interesting, you can program it into one of the bands. If not,
you can continue to search.

Conventional Scanning
Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept. Each
group of users in a conventional system is assigned a single
frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for
repeater systems). Any time one of them transmits, their
transmission always goes out on the same frequency. Up
until the late 1980’s this was the primary way that radio
systems operated.
Even today, there are many 2-way radio users who operate
using a conventional system:
• Aircraft
• Amateur radio
• PMR users
• Marine radio
• Many business radio users
When you want to store a conventional system, all you need
to know are the frequencies they operate on. When you
are scanning a conventional system, the scanner stops very
briey on each channel to see if there is activity. If there isn’t,
the scanner quickly moves to the next channel. If there is,
then the scanner pauses on the transmission until it is over.
Simplex Operation
Simplex systems use a single frequency for both transmit
and receive. Most radios using this type of operation
are limited to line-of-sight operation. This type of radio
is frequently used at construction job sites and with
inexpensive consumer radios such as PMR radios. The range
is typically 1-12 kilometers, depending upon the terrain and
many other factors.

15
Repeater Operation
Repeater systems use two frequencies: one transmits from
the radio to a central repeater; the other transmits from the
repeater to other radios in the system. With a repeater-based
system, the repeater is located on top of a tall building or
on a radio tower that provides great visibility to the area of
operation. When a user transmits (on an input frequency),
the signal is picked up by the repeater and retransmitted
(on an output frequency). The user’s radios always listen for
activity on the output frequency and transmit on the input
frequency. Since the repeater is located very high, there is
a very large line of sight. Typical repeater systems provide
coverage out to about a 35-kilometers radius from the
repeater location.
WHAT ARE BANKS?
Channel Storage Banks
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you
want to listen to, the 300 channels are divided into 10
channel storage banks containing 30 channels each. You
could use each channel storage bank to group frequencies
by department, location, area of interest, or any other way
you prefer. You can listen to any or all of the banks by using
the number keys to turn them on or o.
Service Search Bands
The scanner is preprogrammed with many of the frequencies
allocated to Emergency, Freenet, PMR, Marine, Air, CB radio,
and HAM radio. Use the 7 bands allocated for these service

searches just like the channel storage banks, searching the
frequencies using Service Search mode (see page 33).
Custom Search Ranges
Custom Search mode lets you program the upper and lower
limits of search ranges. You can then search these 10 custom
search ranges starting from the lowest frequency to the
highest frequency in the search range you entered. You can
turn o ranges you don’t want to search just like turning o
(disabling) channel storage banks in Scan mode.
Custom search ranges use the same LCD numbers on the
display as the 10 channel storage banks (see page 28).

SETTING UP THE SCANNER
Connect the Antenna
1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the
tabs on the scanner’s BNC connector.
2. Slide the antenna’s connector down over the scanner’s
connector.
3. Rotate the antenna connector’s outer ring clockwise
until it locks into place.
The scanner’s BNC connector makes it easy to connect a
variety of optional antennas, including an external mobile
antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Note: Always use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable to
connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from
the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If it is
less than 50 feet, use RG-58. You can get a BNC adapter at local
electronics stores.

Connect an Optional Earphone/Headphone
For private listening, you can plug a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-
plug earphone or stereo headphones (not supplied) into the
headphone jack on top of your scanner. This automatically
disconnects the internal speaker.
Connecting an Optional Extension Speaker
In a noisy area, an optional extension speaker, positioned in
the right place, might provide more comfortable listening.
Plug the speaker cable’s 3.5-mm mini-plug into your
scanner’s jack. If your speaker’s cable ends in a mono plug,
use a mono-to-stereo adapter to prevent shorting the audio
amplier and reducing volume.
WARNING! If you connect an external speaker to the
scanner’s headphone jack, never connect the audio
output line to a power supply and ground. This might
damage the scanner.
Adjusting the Belt Clip
The factory-attached belt clip makes it easier to carry the
scanner. Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust (loosen) the
mounting screws or remove the belt clip completely.
POWERING THE SCANNER
Use the provided USB cable to connect your scanner to your
computer to charge the Ni-MH batteries on initial installation
and to recharge them. You can also use a power adapter
that provides USB charge power (not included, but available
at many retailers). You can also use alkaline (ALK) non-
rechargeable batteries (not included).
