RF Attenuation Feature
The UBC780XLT comes with an RF Attenuation feature. If you're near an unusually strong
signal source, the signal may overload the scanner. The scanner may stop repeatedly on
that signal and miss other transmissions.
The RF Attenuation feature works in all modes and attenuates (reduces) the incoming signal
strength to prevent stronger signals from overloading the scanner.
The RF attenuation is set at the menu mode.
