Reverse Mode
This key will allow the user to observe the reverse frequency of the repeater. While pressing
/RVRS
, the standard pair frequency will be displayed. For a list of the standard pair
frequencies, refer to the table “Reverse List” in the Appendix. If the frequency that you have
chosen does not have an offset frequency, the second line will indicate the error and display
NO REVERSE. This feature does not work in the WX Search mode.
Mute On/Off
To manually turn on the Mute function, press and hold
MUTE
for more than 1 second until the
MUTE ON is displayed.You will not hear any audio. This feature does not function in the WX
alert mode, because the audio is already muted. To turn it off, press
MUTE
again.
Record On/Off
It is possible for you to record every one of the 500 channels or every ID that you have
programmed. (up to 1000 IDs). Once you have determined the channels or talkgroups that
you want to record, you must mark them to be recorded. Through the menu system, set the
RECORD ON for each channel, ID, or talkgroup using the 2:CHANNEL DATA ,
3:TRUNK DATA, or 4:SEARCH EVENT menu screens. The audio signal from the
TAPE OUT Jack on the rear of the scanner will be turned on for each one that was marked.
When this feature is set on, the “LINE” icon appears in the display.(Refer to page 11)
Channel Step Selection
You can set channel steps, 5 kHz - 100 kHz or Auto, in Manual mode or Chain search mode.
The default receive mode should be the proper mode setting in almost all cases. You may
wish to set some VHF channels for NFM mode, depending on any adjacent channel
interference problems. Note that WFM is typically only used for broadcast frequencies, such
as TV audio or FM radio.
See “STEPS” in Menu Description for details.
Receiving Mode Selection
You can also set the receiving mode, AM or FM etc., in Manual mode or Chain search mode.
See “MODE” in Menu Description for details.
Frequency and Channel Tuning with the VFO Control
The VFO knob can be used for changing frequencies or changing memory channels (for
conventional channels or talkgroup ID Scan Lists).
1. The default setting is Channel. The
CHAN
icon appears in the display in this setting. In
Manual mode, turn the VFO control to the right (to step up through channels) or to the
left (to step down through channels. If you are in Trunk Manual mode, you will step
through Scan List memory locations (whether the
CHAN
or the
FREQ
icon is active).
2. To change the default setting to Frequency, press the VFO/SELECT control in Manual
mode. The icon will change to
FREQ
. Now turn the VFO to the right to step up through
frequencies sequentially or to the left to step down through frequencies. To change the
step, you will need to go into the Channel Data Menu and adjust the step for the desired
memory location.

Care and Maintenance
General Use
• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
• Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss.
• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. The display shows 000.0000 in all
channels when there has been a memory loss.
• Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry, unless you
have turned off the KEY BEEP in the menu system.
Location
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
• If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it or its antenna away
from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation, may provide better reception.
Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
Cleaning
• Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
• Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent. To prevent scratches, do not use
abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD window.
• Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Repairs
• Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user serviceable parts. Contact the
Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a qualified repair technician.
Birdies
• All radios can receive birdies (undesired signals). If your scanner stops during Scan mode
and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generated
signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.
Press
L/O
to lockout the channel, and then press
SCAN
to resume scanning.

Glossary of Terms
Glossary of terms
.
Alpha tag - This term refers to an alphanumeric text tag that you can enter to describe the
individual frequencies that you have programmed. Rather than having to associate a
specific frequency to the individuals that are using it, you can enter the actual name of the
group. This will eliminate the need for memorizing the group’s frequency.
Attenuator - This scanner comes with a feature to attenuate or reduce the signal strength.
The built-in attenuator can be turned on specific frequencies to prevent strong signals from
overloading the scanner input, possibly damaging the scanner or missing other
transmissions due to the repeated stopping on the stronger signal.
Clone - This term identifies the ability to set up a duplicate scanner. This function allows you
to clone all the programming information, including frequencies, talkgroups and alpha tags
as well as bank settings and other parameters from one BC780XLT to another.
Control Channel - A Control Channel is the frequency within a trunking system that runs
the system. On Control Channels (sometimes called Data Channels) you will hear a
buzzsaw sound. For the most part, it is the sound of the system’s central computer
directing talkgroups to particular voice (working) frequencies within the system.
CTCSS - Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System- refers to a system where the radio
receivers are equipped with tone responsive devices which allow audio signals to appear
at the audio output, select voice processing such as scrambling or control repeater
functions only when a carrier modulated with a specific tone is received. This method may
be used to restrict access to the repeater or receiver, or reduce interference where several
stations with output frequencies in close proximity of each other make it difficult to hear the
conversation you are interested in. With CTCSS squelching, you can eliminate the
possibility of hearing unwanted conversations by selecting one of the 38 standard
subaudible tones. You will only hear those transmissions that have been programmed on
specific frequencies with the specific subaudible tone that you have selected.
DCS - (Digital Controlled Squelch) refers to a system where the radio receivers are
equipped with data burst responsive devices which allow audio signals to appear at the
audio output, select voice processing such as scrambling or control repeater functions only
when a carrier modulated with specific data burst is received. This method may be used to
restrict access to the repeater or receiver, or reduce interference where several stations
with output frequencies in close proximity of each other make it difficult to hear the
conversation you are interested in. With DCS squelching, you can eliminate the possibility
of hearing unwanted conversations by selecting one of the 104 standard data burst
subaudible tones. You will only hear those transmissions that have been programmed on
specific frequencies with the specific subaudible tone that you have selected.
bc780xlt glossary.qxd 10/08/2000 4:52 PM Page 74
75
Enter Lock - This is the term used for locking the keypad. This prevents accidental
re-programming of channels and talkgroups entered into memory. The default setting is off.
When ENTER LOCK is enabled, the following functions will be disable:
• Enter or modify the Channel frequency
• Enter or modify the Tone information
• Enter or modify the Trunking ID. ( this can be modified through the menu screen.)
FIPS codes - For the purpose of broadcasting weather information, the NWS (National
Weather Service) has divided the United States into regions by state and county (or
parish, where applicable) then assigned a 6 digit FIPS code to identify each county or
parish. The first digit represents the county subdivision, the next two represents the state,
and the last three digits represent the county or parish. Your scanner can receive all SAME
alert signals broadcasted within about a 50-mile radius of where you install it. So if you
only want to hear the counties that are nearest to your area, you can choose specifically
the FIPS code of areas that you want. This lets you avoid hearing warnings that apply to
an area within a 50-mile radius but not necessarily in your county or parish.
I-Call - Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one unit (such
as a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within her group (all the patrol vehicles on
the east side of town, for example). The units within this group comprise what is typically
known as a talkgroup. There are some communications which are direct unit-to-unit
conversations where one individual converses with another individual. The call is initiated
by a radio and is directed to another single radio. Within the system, no one outside of
these two users hears the conversation. This call is referred to as I-Call.
Key Beep - This is another term for the tone you hear as a keypad acknowledgement beep.
The default setting is on. If you have turned the Key Beep off, you now have a silent
keypad. You will not hear a tone each time you press a key.
NWR S.A.M.E. Weather Alert - In 1994, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) began broadcasting coded signals called FIPS (Federal Information
Processing System) codes along with the standard weather broadcasts for stations in your
area. These codes identify an emergency and the specific geographic area (such as your
county) affected by the emergency. The scanner was developed with SAME (Specific Area
Messaging Encoding) technology. This allows you scanner to receive, interpret, and
display the information about the codes so you can determine if the emergency might
affect you area.Each FIPS code identifies a specific geographic area ( defined by the
National Weather Service) so your scanner sounds an alert only when a weather
emergency is declared in those locations. This helps you more efficiently track the weather
conditions in and around your area.
PC Control - This term is associated with the ability to program frequencies and other
useful information via a computer by means of the Uniden national database or third party
software. You can change the transfer speed on the scanner needed to be compatible with
your PC. (See page 65)
Scan List - When you designate a bank to be a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10
Scan Lists, which are simply list of your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so
you can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk bank. These lists are designed to help you
organize the trunking system users into categories.
bc780xlt glossary.qxd 10/08/2000 4:52 PM Page 75
76
Screen mask - Screen Mask reduces the amount of information that appears on the
display. Alpha tags that you have set for a channel along with a few function icons will
appear only on the display. This mode is particularly useful in public safety vehicles where
that are already overloaded with information. Screen Mask does not work in Search mode.
SmartScan - This term identifies the ability to download frequencies and other useful
information for any area of the 50 states from the Uniden national database via an external
modem or the internal modem on your personal computer (PC). This can be accomplished
by means of the free downloadable software when using the PC or the direct dial method
when using an external modem. See page 59 for details.
Status Bit - This term refers to Motorola Type II systems. There is a method by which
special types of communications utilize unique talk group numbers. For example, if all
emergency calls are set to occur on a specific talk group number then you will not miss
the transmission even if you have not programmed all the talk group numbers. With the
Status Bit on and you have programmed the unique number, then you don’t have to worry
what the rest of the groups numbers are. The topic of interest will be picked up.
Talkgroup - A group of users within a trunked system that communicate with one another.

User Defined Fleet Maps
Type I Programming Information
When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the IDs is divided into 8
equal sized blocks, numbered 07. When you program your scanner to track a Type I system,
you must select a size code for each of these blocks. When you have assigned a size code
to all 8 blocks, you'll have defined the Fleet Map for the system you're tracking. Each size
code determines the number of Fleets, Subfleets, and IDs each block will have. For example,
a size code of “4” has one Fleet, which is divided into 16 separate Subfleets, and it has a
total of 512 individual IDs.
When a block is assigned a size code, the Fleet or Fleets created within the block are
assigned a Type I ID. The way these IDs display on your scanner depend on the block
number and the blocks size code. When a Type I ID displays, the left most digit represents
the block which contains the ID. The next two or three digits identify which Fleet is active,
and the last digit(s) identifies the Subfleet.
The details concerning how the size codes are selected by a Type I System designer are
highly dependent on the specific needs of the systems users. Some organizations may want
many subfleets with only a few radios each, while another organization may want only a few
subfleets with many radios each.Your task is to program your fleet map with the same size
code assignments as the trunked system. If you do this accurately, you'll track all the Fleet-
Subfleet combinations used by the system. In other words, you'll hear complete
communications while monitoring a trunked system.
If you don't already know the size codes used, you'll have to guess at them. But since you
don't have to figure out all the blocks at once, this isn't as hard as it seems. Select a size
code for a block, and then press
SCAN
. Now listen to the communications. If you decide you
are receiving most of the replies to the conversations with IDs assigned to the block you just
programmed, then you've probably selected the right size code and can work on the next
block of the map.
Finally, for most public safety systems there are some size codes which are more common.
SIZE CODE 3 and SIZE CODE 4 are probably the most common, followed by SIZE CODE
10, SIZE CODE 11, and SIZE CODE 12.

Fleet Map Size Codes
Size Code Restrictions
If you select size code 12, 13, or 14, there are some restrictions as to which blocks can be
used for these codes.
• SIZE CODE 12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4, or 6.
• SIZE CODE 13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4.
• SIZE CODE 14 can only be assigned to Block 0.
Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will be prompted for the next available
block when programming a Fleet Map. For example, if you assign Block 0 as an SIZE CODE
12, you will be prompted for Block 2, the next block available, instead of Block 1. And if you
assign Block 0 as an SIZE CODE 14, you would not see another prompt because it uses all
available blocks.
