Introduction
The BC45XLT Scanner is a sophisticated information radio that
allows you to monitor 10 different frequency bands and the
NOAA weather information broadcasts. It is a state-of-the-art
radio with scanning capabilities, and it can save up to 20
different frequencies in memory.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications do not transmit continuously. The BC45XLT
scans programmed channels until it finds 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 Bearcat 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 do
not want. This gives you complete control of the search
function.
