To start scanning, press any bank key: [POLICE],
[FIRE/EMS], [AIR/MRN], [WX], [CB], or [PRIVATE] keys.
When the BC350C is scanning, you can see the "SCAN"
message moving across the display. Scanning stops on any
active channel automatically and displays its frequency,
except those channels programmed with L/O (Lock Out).
Scanning resumes when you press the bank key or
[UP] key.
To stop scanning at any time, press
[HOLD]. When you press
[HOLD], you are in the Scan/Hold Mode. The scanner
remains on the displayed channel until you press the bank
key again to resume scanning. (Or, you can press
[SEARCH]
to start searching.)
In the Scan/Hold Mode, each time you press
[UP] or
[DOWN], you step up or down one channel at a time (one
frequency step each for the AIR bank). To rapidly step
through that bank, press and hold
[UP] or [DOWN]. In the
Scan/Hold Mode, you do not skip a locked out (L/O) channel
using
[UP] or [DOWN].
While scanning and the scanner stops on an active channel
that you do not want to monitor, but you do not want to lock
out, you can simply press the bank key:
[PRIVATE],
[POLICE], [FIRE/EMS], [WX], or [CB] again or [UP].
Notes: • To resume scanning while in the Marine or Aircraft
mode, you can only press
[UP]. Pressing the bank
key again will switch you from Marine to Air or Air
to Marine.
• Before you can scan the Private bank, you must
program the channels.
Weather Channel Scan
The BC350C allows you to search for your local NOAA
weather channel.
Press
[WX] to find the active weather channel in your area
from 10 pre-programmed channels. To exit Weather Mode,
press any other bank key or
[SEARCH].
It is possible that your area is covered by more than one
weather station.
When you press [
WX], the BC350C will find an active broad-
cast immediately. If the broadcast sounds weak and distant,
press
[WX] again to look for a closer station.
