Introduction
Introduction
Your UBC57XLT Scanner comes with a
flexible antenna and the owner's guide.
Batteries are required to operate (not
included). An optional earphone may also
be used.
The 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.
You can program five different search
bands. Simply select a chain search
location, define the search range, and
begin your search. 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.
