Menu Description and Numeric Keypad Equivalents
Below are the menu screens and a brief description or purpose of the feature.
1:SYSTEM DATA
1:DIMMER
Allows you to change the brightness of the display.
2:SCREEN MASK
Screen Mask allows you to limit what appears on the display to the alpha tags that
you have set for a channel along with a few function icons. Screen Mask removes
the frequency, receiving mode, tone data, signal strength bars, and the trunking
repeater activity indicators. This mode is particularly useful in public safety vehicles
where “information overload” is already a problem. Screen Mask does not work in
Search mode.
3:KEY BEEP
Use this function to turn off the keypad acknowledgement beep. The default setting
is on.
4:ENTER LOCK
Use Enter Lock to prevent accidental re-programming of channels and talkgroups
entered into memory. The default setting is off.
5:PC CONTROL
Use this function to set the transfer speed (baud rate) at which your personal
computer (PC) communicates with the scanner when downloading information into
your scanner using the third party software. See page 55 for details.
6:CLONE
You can clone all the programming, including frequencies, talkgroups and alpha
tags as well as bank settings and other parameters from one UBC780XLT to
another.
7:SMART SCAN
Not applicable.
8:DATA SKIP
A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the
UBC780XLT will occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions.
You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search.
9:SQUELCH MODE
The Squelch Mode allows you to set, at your option, whether the scanner will stop
on all active transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only respond to
transmissions with a pre-set sub-audible tone. This applies to both conventional
search and scan modes.The options are as follows:
1. CSQ - The default setting is CSQ (carrier squelch). In this mode the scanner
will stop on any transmission on a programmed frequency (Squelch mode does
not apply to trunking).
2. Tone SQ - In Tone Squelch mode, if you have set a subaudible tone (CTCSS or
DCS) for a frequency, the scanner will only stop on that frequency if the
transmission includes the prescribed tone.
