Introduction
_—___—————————————‘
The BCGOXLT-1 Scanner is a sophisticated information
radio that allows you to monitor 10 different frequency
bands and the NOAA weather information broadcaster It is
a state-ot‘the-an radio with scanning capabilities, and it
can save up to 30 different frequencies in memory,
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications do not transmit continuously The
BCBOXLT-1 scans programmed channels until it iinds an
active frequency.
Scanning stops on an active frequency and remains on
that channel as long as the transmission continues. When
the transmission ends. the scanning cycle resumes until
another transmission is received
What is Chain Searching?
You can program five different personal search bands in
your new scanner. You simply select a Chain Search
location. define the search range, and begin your search.
The scanner looks for active communications in the range
you‘ve specified. so you can locate frequencies in your
area which may not be listed in your Betty Bearcar Starter
Frequency Guide.
You can set your scanner to search up to all five Chain
Search bands at once. or you can turn off those search
bands you don’t want. This gives you complete control of
the search function.
