BC346XT
The Complete Reference
This document provides a complete reference to all menus, functions, and
features of the BC346XT Handheld Trunk Tracker Scanner from Uniden. It
is based on the Operation Specification that is used both as a guide to the
software engineers for creating the scanner’s user interface and as a
repository for the “final say” on how every feature and function is
implemented.
Some proprietary information has been removed, formatting has been
modified, and extensive editing has been performed to make the text
more readable. However, you will almost certainly find a handful of odd
turns of phrases.
Mostly, though, we hope that this reference work can help you better
understand and use your BC346XT. This document isn’t intended to be a
guide for how to use your scanner…you’ll find that information in the
Owner’s Manual…but rather a reference for all the things that the scanner
does. Combined with the Owner’s Manual and the great resources
available to scanner users online, you now have more information than
ever on every facet of your scanner.

Locked out channels are skipped (or ignored) during scanning.
If a system, site, or channel group is locked, all channels belonging to it will be skipped during scanning.
Temporary Lockout
Sites, Systems, Channels, or Frequencies temporarily locked out are automatically unlocked when power is
cycled.
Quick Keys
You can assign an SQK (System/Site/Search Quick Key) from 0-99.
You can assign a GQK (channel Group Quick Key) from 0-9.
Quick keys can be rapidly enabled/disabled from the keypad during scanning.
Startup Configuration
You can assign a startup configuration key to a system or search range so that it can be automatically
locked out or unlocked during power up.
Channel Alert
You can set a separate audible/visual alert for each channel.
Alpha Tagging
You can assign an alphanumeric name to each System, Site, Channel Group, Channel, Location, Custom
search range, SAME group, and Tone-Out. You can use 16 characters per tag.
Duplicate Input Alert
The scanner will alert you if an entered alpha tag, frequency, etc has already been used in the same
system.
Number Tag
You can assign a unique number tag from 0-999 to each system and to each channel within a system. This
tag allows you to rapidly tune to a specific channel.
Trunk Tracking
The scanner can track the following types of trunked systems:
Motorola Type I 800
Motorola Type II 800, 900, UHF, VHF
Motorola Rebanded
EDACS Wide, Narrow, SCAT
EDACS ESK (No ProVoice Decoding)

Thursday, November 20, 2008
11
Multi-Site System
All trunked systems can have more than one site. All sites in the system share the same Channel Groups
and Channels.
Control Channel Only
Trunk Tracking can be achieved by entering only the control channels for Motorola systems.
Priority ID Scanning
Trunked channels can be assigned priority. When the scanner is monitoring the control channel, channels
you tag as priority are given a higher priority over non-priority channels when they become active.
Preemptive Priority ID Scanning
For Motorola systems that have channel priority active on the system, if you flag a channel as priority and
the system also has that TGID identified as a priority channel, the scanner will preempt any current
transmission if the TGID becomes active.
Trunking Activity Indicators
The scanner shows all trunked activity when you hold on the control channel.
Custom Search
You can program up to 10 custom search ranges and either search them exclusively or include these
searches when scanning.
Quick Search
If you hold on a conventional channel, you can start searching from the current frequency. If you hold on a
trunked channel, you can quickly switch to ID Search mode.
Frequency Autostore
The scanner can automatically store frequencies found during a search.
Search Speed / Turbo Search
100 Steps/Second in search mode (max, except for 5 kHz steps)
300 Steps/Second in search mode (max, 5 kHz steps)
Turbo mode automatically applies to 5 kHz step searches.
Search Lockout
You can lock out up to 500 frequencies.
The limit of temporary L/O frequencies: 250
The limit of permanent L/O frequencies: 250
Locked out frequencies will be skipped in Search Mode or Close Call Mode.
You can review all locked out frequencies in Menu Mode.
Thursday, November 20, 2008
12
Search Key
Search keys are short cuts to start searching for a single search range.
There are 3 search keys (sr1 to sr3).
Service Search
You can search preset frequencies typically used by specific agencies or groups.
The kind of Service Search is as follows: Public Safety, News, HAM Radio, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio,
FRS/GMRS/MURS, Racing, FM Broadcast, Special
Broadcast Screen
Allows the scanner to ignore hits on Pager, FM, UHF TV, VHF TV, NOAA WX and custom band frequencies.
Attenuator
You can attenuate the incoming signal for channels that get interference from strong signal sources.
You can set a global attenuator to apply attenuation to all reception.
Code Search
Rapid search for the CTCSS/DCS used during a transmission.
Volume Offset
Adjust the volume level for any channel from -3 to +3 steps to balance audio level.
IF Exchange
Switches the current frequency to use a different IF (intermediate frequency) for receiving radio signals to
avoid interference.
Dropout Delay
Controls whether the scanner pauses at the end of a transmission to wait for a reply.
You can set the Delay time for each System. All Channels in the System share the same delay setting. You
can also set the Delay time for Search, Close Call and Tone-Out.
You can set the minus delay time. In that case, the scanner only stops on transmissions for the set
duration, then automatically resumes.
Weather and SAME Alert
The scanner can alert to Weather Alert Tone, all FIPS or selected FIPS.
Close Call® Frequency Capture
The scanner can immediately detect and lock onto a transmission above threshold signal strength.
Thursday, November 20, 2008
13
Close Call Temporary Store
The scanner scans the last 10 frequencies captured by Close Call so that you can continue to receive the
signal even after the signal is not strong enough to trigger a Close Call hit..
Tone-Out Sequential Decode
Lets you set the scanner to act as a two-tone pager for fire tone-out standby. If you do not know the tones
being used, the scanner can detect the tones when it receives a page.
Location-Based Scanning*
The scanner can automatically lock and unlock systems, sites and channel groups based on your current
location as provided by an external GPS unit (not included).
Location Alert System*
The scanner alerts you when you approached a stored location.
Navigation Modes*
Indicate the Direction / Distance / Time to Goal for locations you set.
GPS Compatibility*
Compatible GPS units output location data that conforms to NMEA-0183 v3.01. The scanner uses the GGA
and RMC sentences as defined by that specification. Note that this standard specifies an RS232 serial
connection. GPS units that have USB connectivity are not compatible with this scanner.
Wired Cloning
You can clone all programmed data, including Memory Architecture, Menu settings and other parameters
from one BC346XT to another BC346XT connected with RS232C cable.
Band Scope
Band Scope Mode searches a frequency range and displays a graphic of the signal level in real time.
In Band Scope Hold Mode, the user can monitor the frequency displayed.
PC Control
You can download information into the scanner and control the scanner via your personal computer.
LCD and Keypad Backlight
The Display Keypad backlight is orange.
The backlight can be adjusted to 3 different brightness levels
Alert Tone Level
This feature lets you adjust the volume level of the following tones: Key Beep, Emergency Alert, Channel
Alert, Close Call Alert, Tone-Out detection Alert, Battery Low Alert and Location Alert.
Thursday, November 20, 2008
14
Battery Low Alert
When the battery voltage becomes low, the icon will blink and a Battery Low Tone will be generated
every 15 seconds. This alert level is set at the same level as the key beep volume level.
Battery Save
You can turn on/off this function by Menu Operation.
This works when there is no transmission over 1 minute in the following modes. This feature turns off RF
power for 1 second and turns on it 300 ms to extend the battery life.
Scan Hold Mode at a Channel of conventional System (without Priority Scan)
Any Search Hold Mode
Key Lock
This feature disables the keypad and scroll to prevent any accidental input.
Key Safe Mode
This mode helps keep novice users from accidentally changing parameters or modes.
Some keys don't work in this mode.

Once a search range is selected by pressing [E / yes / gps], any time a frequency in that search range goes
active, the scanner checks to see if that frequency has been previously stored in that System. If so, it
resumes searching. Otherwise, it stores the frequency into the Group named "Found Channels" (the
scanner automatically creates this group if it does not exist). Then it resumes searching.
Note: If all frequencies of the selected search are locked out, the scanner displays "All Locked!" on Second
line and it cannot start storing operation. Then it goes to End State. (See: End Conditions)
During Search and Store for a conventional System, "SEARCH AND STORE" scrolls on the second line.
“System Name” and “Search Range Name” are alternately displayed on first line.
If the scanner finds a frequency, it performs duplication check in the System and displays "Memory Check"
on second line. And while storing the frequency to Memory, it displays "Storing" on second line.

Scanning Order
First, systems belonging to Quick Key 1 are scanned. Then systems that belong to Quick Key
2,…,9,0,11,…19,10,21,……,99,90 are scanned in order. Systems with no Quick Key are scanned last.
When the scanning of all systems ends, the scanner starts Service Search for any unlocked/enabled
searches. The scanner searches Public Safety, News, . . . , and Special in turn.
When Service Search ends, it starts Custom Search. The scanner searches Custom Search from range 1 to
10 in turn.
After Custom Search ends, the scanner scans a system that is named “Close Call Hits*”
*This is a system where the scanner automatically stores the frequencies found by Close Call.
(See CC Hit with Scan for details. )
If “Close Call Hits” system has no frequencies, the scanner does not scan this system. After the scanner
finishes scanning “Close Call Hits” system, the scanner scans from top system again.
You can change the scanning direction by turning [Scroll Control].
The scanning order of the systems / sites belonging to the same Quick Key is the order registered to that
Quick Key. The scanning order of the systems / sites belonging to no Quick Key is the order set to none.
When a system / site is created, the scanner automatically sets the Quick Key to none. So, if you do not
change the Quick Key setting, the scanning order will be the order of system / site creation.
The scanning order of groups in a conventional system also depends in the order set to any Group Quick
Key or none. Groups with no Group Quick Key set are scanned in the order of group creation.
The scanning order of Channels in a conventional system’s channel group depends in the order of Channel
creation.
However, locked out or disabled items* are not scanned.
*Locked out or disabled items means locked out System / Sites, locked out Channel Groups, locked out
Channels, disabled System/Site Quick Keys and disabled Group Quick Keys.

Scanning Operation
Quick Key Operation
For Conventional Systems, the SQK is set at the system level. However, for trunked systems, the SQK is set
at the site level instead of the system level.
In the display, enabled SQKs show their number; disabled SQKs show “*”; SQKs with no system assigned
show "-".
During scanning, you can enable or disable single digit SQKs by pressing the corresponding [1 - 9, 0] key.
For two-digit SQK’s first press [. / no / pri], then enter the two digits to enable or disable that SQK.
Systems belonging to disable SQKs are not scanned.
*You cannot enable or disable an SQK if no system or site is assigned to it.
*The displayed GQKs (channel Group Quick Keys) show the status of GQKs for the system currently being
scanned.
For example, the scanner displays as follows if the SQKs “3”, “4”, “6”, and “9” are disabled.
The details of scanning depend on whether the System is a conventional System or a trunked System.
The SQK’s Ten’s blinks when you press [. / no / pri] (until you enter the SQK’s first digit).
If you do not press a digit within 2 seconds of pressing [. / no / pri], the entry times out and nothing is
changed.

Scan for Conventional Systems
In conventional scanning, the scanner steps through each unlocked channel. If there is activity on the
channel, the scanner monitors activity until the transmission ends.
While monitoring the transmission, the first line alternates between the current system name and current
group name every 1 second. The second line displays the current channel name.
The Quick Keys for the current system and channel group blink. Furthermore, the attenuation setting,
modulation and CTCSS/DCS data of the current channel are displayed.
Even if the transmission ends, the scanner holds on the channel for the duration of the system delay time.
After the system delay time elapses, if there is no transmission the scanner resumes scanning.
*If CTCSS/DCS is applied to a channel, the received signal must match for the scanner to hold on the
transmission. (Not for AM, WFM or FMB modulation.)
The scanner continuously scans each system for the duration of the system’s system hold time setting.
However, the scanner scans all unlocked channels at least 1 time, even if this takes longer than the set
time.
The scanner will advance to the next system once the scanner scans all unlocked channels and the system
hold time has elapsed.
Scan for Trunked Systems
In trunked scanning, the scanner holds on the control channel (C-Ch) and decodes the TGIDs as they
become active.
*If C-Ch Only is set to on at Set C-Ch Only for the site, trunking is performed using control channel data
only. A voice channel (V-Ch) does not have to be programmed into memory. (Motorola Systems only)
While scanning, press Function then [Scan / srch] to toggle between ID Scan and ID Search. You can also
change this mode through the Menu. (See: ID Scan/Search.)
ID Search :
If a TGID does not match any locked out TGID, the scanner goes to the V-Ch and monitors the transmission
until it ends.

ID Scan :
If a TGID matches a TGID stored in an unlocked channel, the scanner goes to the V-Ch and monitors the
transmission until it ends.
While monitoring a TGID already stored into the Memory, the first line of the display alternates between
the current site name and current channel group name every 1 second, and second line displays the
current channel name. The Quick Key numbers for the current site and group blinks.
While monitoring a TGID not stored into the Memory, the first line displays current site name, and the
second line displays the current TGID. The current Site and Group Quick Keys blink.
While monitoring the TGID:
Press [Scan / srch] or turn [Scroll Control] to return to the C-Ch. Then the scanner waits for a moment on
the C-Ch to see if another TGID is active. If the scanner finds another TGID, it monitors the found TGID. But
if there is only the TGID that was being monitored just before, it monitors that TGID again.
Press [L/O] to lock out the TGID and store it to the list of ID Lockouts of the system (See: Clr All L/O IDs).
This lock out information is common to every site in the system. Then the scanner returns to the C-Ch.
If the transmission ends, it returns to the C-Ch and exclusively listens for the last-active TGID until the site
delay time expires.
After the system delay time elapses, the scanner checks to see if the Site Hold time has elapsed. If so, the
scanner advances to the next System or Site. If the Site Hold Time has not elapsed, the scanner continues
to monitor the C-Ch for TGID activity.
Lockout Operation
You can lock out each site but cannot lock out the system to which the site belongs.
In Trunked Systems (except EDACS SCAT system), one system can have multiple sites and those sites share
the same TalkGroup IDs.
If you lock out a TGID, the TGID is locked out for all sites in the system.

PRIORITY SCAN
There are two kinds of Priority Scan. (See: Set Priority)
Refer to Set Priority for setting Priority Channels.
Priority Scan
This works in Scan Mode or Scan Hold Mode when the Priority Scan setting is on. In this condition, " PRI"
icon appears.
PRI
System 1 C
SCAN ↑
S0: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
GRP 1 - - - 5 - - - - -
When the scanner is scanning a conventional system, it interrupts every 2 seconds to check Priority
Channels (P-Ch) of all unlocked conventional Systems for activity. If there are many P-Chs, Priority Scan
interrupts normal scanning for a long time.
Although any conventional frequency can be set as a priority channel, the scanner is unable to scan over
100 channels at once. If there are more than 100 unlocked priority channels, the first 100 channels will be
scanned for priority scanning but others won’t.
The priority for P-Channels is determined by System and Group Quick Key settings.
The highest priority is for P-Channels to which the SQK and GQK are "1". And the lowest priority is for P-
Channels to which the SQK is “90” and GQK is “0”.
Priority for P-Channels in the same channel group follows the order in which the channels were created.
If there are no Priority Channels or all Priority Channels are locked out, the scanner displays "Priority Scan
No Channel" and sounds an Error Tone. The scanner cannot work the Priority Scan. The scanner restarts
normal scanning when you press any key. Priority Scan is set to off automatically.

the "PRI" icon blinks and the scanner scans only Priority Channels.
If there is no Priority Channel or all Priority Channels are locked out, the scanner displays "Priority Scan No

PRIORITY ID SCAN
Refer to Set Priority to set Priority Channels. Refer to Priority ID Scan for activation of Priority ID Scan.
Priority ID Scan
Priority ID Scan works in ID Scan/Search Mode or ID Scan/Search Hold Mode when the Priority ID Scan
setting is on.
This works on Motorola and EDACS (Wide, Narrow), and LTR Systems.
This function is very similar to conventional priority although there is no “interrupt” during the
transmission. Priorities are checked in between transmissions, when the scanner is receiving the control
channel, as during the channel delay period.
Motorola system can receive priority IDs while the scanner is on the voice channel. However, for this to
work, the channel must also be assigned as a priority channel by the radio system (otherwise, the TGID will
never be sent on the voice channel’s low-speed data).

The scanner can only look for priority channels on the trunked system it is currently scanning and only
responds if the priority channel is unlocked..
The within the system, channels in channel groups with GQK 1 are treated with highest priority, followed
by 2, 3, … 9, 0.

If at least one of Tone A and Tone B have a programmed tone, the scanner goes to Tone-Out Standby.
While monitoring the Tone-Out frequency, the speaker is muted until matching Tones are detected.
For two-tone pages, enter a value for Tone A and Tone B.
For single-tone pages (alert by a single short tone), enter the tone value for Tone A and "0" for
Tone B.
For group tones (alert by a single long tone), enter "0" for Tone A and the tone value for Tone B.
When you set a tone value for Tone A and Tone B, if a transmission is detected, the scanner checks
whether the tone is corresponding to Tone A.
If the first tone matches Tone A, the scanner confirms that the tone is present for more than 250ms.
Then the second tone is confirmed whether it detects second tone less than 500ms.
If the second tone matches Tone B and the tone is present for more than 100ms, the scanner opens
squelch and activates the alert tone and alert light that you set for this tone set. Then the scanner goes to

Tone-Out Search Mode
When both Tone A and Tone B are set to 0.0Hz, this channel will be treated as a Tone-Out Search channel.
The scanner starts the Tone-Out Search. During monitoring the Tone-Out frequency, the speaker is muted
until Tones are detected.
In Tone-Out Search mode, if a transmission is detected, the scanner starts to check for two-tone pages,
single-tone pages and group tones.
For two-tone pages, Tone A must be present for more than 250ms, Tone B must be present for more than
100ms, and the time gap between Tone A and Tone B must less than 500ms.
For single-tone pages, the Tone must be present between 1.25-3.75 seconds.
For group tones, Tone must be present for more than 3.75 seconds.
If one kind of these tones is detected, the scanner begins to check whether it has been registered in
another tone-out channel with the same setting for frequency, Modulation and Attenuator. If it has been
registered, the scanner goes to Tone-Out Hold Mode with the registered channel number. If not, the
scanner goes to Tone-Out Hold Mode with the current Tone-Out search channel number.
Note: A Tone-Out Search channel is not treated as Multi-Channel even it has the same setting of
frequency, Modulation and Attenuator with other channels.
When in Tone-Out Search Mode, scanner will not switch the channel display each 2 seconds for the Multi-
Channel.

FLEET MAP
The range of TGIDs is from 0 to 65535. This range is split into 8 equal blocks, and each Block is set to one of
15 Size Codes.
The range of TGID 0 - 65535
Block 0 0 - 8191
Block 1 8192 - 16383
Block 2 16384 - 24575
Block 3 24576 - 32767
Block 4 32768 - 40959
Block 5 40960 - 49151
Block 6 49152 - 57343
Block 7 57344 - 65535
Size Code from 0 to 11 uses 1 Block, 12+ occupies multiple blocks.
"Size Code 12" occupies 2 Blocks and this can be set to even Block numbers. If you try to set this to an odd
Block number, it is set to the previous Block number.
The Block after the one you set to "Size Code 12" is also treated as "Size Code 12". This number does not
appear in the Block selection.
For example, if you try to set Size Code 12 to Block 3, it is set to Block 2. Then the Block 3 is skipped because
Block 2 is set to "Size Code 12". Block 2 and Block 3 are treated as "Size Code 12". Then the scanner
advances to Block 4 to select its Size Code.
"Size Code 13" occupies 4 Blocks and this can be set only for Block 0 or Block 4. If you try to set this to Block
number 1 - 3, it is set to Block 0. And if you try to set this to Block number 5 - 7, it is set to Block 4.
When you set a block to "Size Code 13", the following three blocks are also be treated as "Size Code 13".
The "Size Code 14" occupies all 8 Blocks. So, this Size Code can only be set for Block 0. If you try to set this
to another Block, it is set to Block 0. Then only the Block 0 is displayed. All Blocks are treated as "Size Code
14".
If you change a Size Code from these 3 Codes to a Size Code which occupies a fewer number of Block, the
scanner sets the other Blocks to "Size Code 0".
For example, if you changes the Block 0 from "Size Code 13" to "Size Code 5", the setting of Blocks are:
Block 0 = Size Code 5, Block 1 - 3 = Size Code 0.

Details of each Size Code are as follows.

Response format
NOTE
1. Commands are required to wait a response from the scanner, then, next command is accepted.
2. All memory access commands are acceptable in only Program Mode.
Use PRG command to enter Program Mode, and EPG command to exit.
3. Error messages aren’t described for each command, but the scanner returns error message to the controller as
follows.
1) Command format error / Value error : ERR[\r]
2) The command is invalid at the time : NG[\r]
3) Framing error : FER[\r]
4) Overrun error : ORER[\r]
4. [\r] means "to hit the Enter key" or "to send the Return code".
5. Several commands or responses with long format are described like multi-line because of the page width but
their formats are only single line, actually.
In set command, only "," parameters are not changed.
6. The set command is aborted if any format error is detected.
7. [INDEX] or [xxx_INDEX] is the index of internal memory chain.
Dynamic Memory Allocation Structure always uses it as a handle to access data and to trace
forward/reverse or up/down index.
The range of the index is from 1 to maximum memory block (about 45000).
8. [FRQ], [BASEx] and [LIMIT_x] are frequency format.
It is showed by 8 digit number without decimal point.
The order of the digits is from 1 GHz digit to 100 Hz digit.
ex. 08510125 means 851.0125MHz
9. [TGID] shows TGID format. The formats depend on Trunked System Type.
See another Appendix to get further information.
10. [NAME] shows each custom name. If you set only a space character, the name will return to default
name.
11. [LATITUDE] shows North or South Latitude.
The data shows “DDMMSSssL” at DMS Format.
DD : Degree ( 00 - 90 : Double figure fixation )
MM : Minute ( 00 - 59 : Double figure fixation )
SSss : Second ( SS : 00 - 59 : Double figure fixation )
