Scanning Overview

You can scan in one of five ways:
1. Close Call RF Capture When you activate Close Call your scanner will detect nearby

strong radio frequencies. You may run Close Call in the background of any of the four

options below or on its own.

2. Service Scanning Press SVC to select one of the six services to find an active

frequency. Police, Railroad and AM CB service frequencies are valid for Australia only.

Aircraft, Marine and UHF CB service frequencies are valid for both Australia and

New Zealand.

3. Band Search Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is

different from scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the

lower and upper limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner

will stop and stay on that frequency as long as that transmission lasts. If that frequency

is interesting to you, press HOLD/RESUME to hold the frequency on the display. Then

program it into the private bank you want to store. If you do not want to program that

frequency, press HOLD/RESUME or just wait until the transmission ends. The search

resumes automatically 2 seconds after the last transmission and looks for more active

frequencies.

4. Private Scanning If you have programmed frequencies into this bank, press SCAN,

then , , , 4, 5 or to scan only those that you have programmed in this bank.

5. State Scanning You can select Police, Fire and Ambulance frequencies which are

pre-programmed on a Australian state by state (including New Zealand) basis.

Note: Before you can scan the Private Bank, you must program frequencies into the

channels. To program frequencies, see “Programming Frequencies into

Channels” on page 21.

When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that
channel as long as the transmission continues. When the
transmission ends, the scanner will remain on the same
channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding
transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2
seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.

Turn the Scanner On

1. Turn the VOL knob clockwise.

The scanner is turned on: the Alert Light flashes and the Alert

Tone beeps loudly.

Note: The Alert Tone depends on the currently setting selected

(see page 20).

2. While the alert tone sounds the display shows ‘UBCT9’.

When this stops the last setting mode selected before starts.
