Uniden BcT7 - Manual (Page 2)

Welcome!
Congratulations on your purchase of the BCT7 Highway
Communications System & Scanning Radio! State-of-the-art
engineering and advanced electronics provide you with a
preprogrammed information radio designed for easy operation and
dependability.
With the
BCT7 Scanning Radio, you can listen to thousands of
Highway Patrol, police, and DOT frequencies, as well as Fire, News,
Weather, CB and Private frequencies you program.
Plus, the new built-in technology sounds an alarm when you are
within an approximate 3 mile radius of a Highway Patrol unit!
Best of all, you don’t have to program any frequencies. Just set the
BCT7 for your state, and the scanner will do the rest. Please read this
Operating Guide thoroughly before attempting to operate the unit.
What are Highway Patrol Warning Alerts?
Most highway patrol vehicles on the road today are equipped with a
secondary radio system known as a “mobile extender” or “vehicular
repeater.” Whenever the dispatcher transmits to any vehicle in the
district,
every “mobile extender” in every car within the district is
activated.
Using a constant PRIORITY check of specific frequencies in each
state, the
BCT7 recognizes and alerts you to transmissions from
“mobile extender” radios as well as from car-to-car, aircraft-to-car and
other special-purpose frequencies. You receive an audible (beep
tone) and visual (flash of warning light) alert whenever you are within
an approximate three mile radius of many Highway Patrol/State Police
units.
