About Your New UBC 2500XLT
The UBC 2500XLT is a brand new state-of-the-art information
radio with automatic scanning capabilities. Itcan store
frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, air,
weather frequencies, and otherbroadcasts into20 banks of 20
channels each. The new Rotary Tuner feature enables rapid
and easy selection of channels andfrequencies. And with
AUTO
STORE, you can automatically program any channel.
With the UBC 2500XL T, you can scan all 400 channels at
selectable speeds, including the super fast Turbo Scan. In
addition, the UBC 2500XLT has an automatic frequency-
sorting capability for faster scanning within each bank.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously.
The UBC 2500XL T scans programmed channels at the rate of
nearly 100 channels per second (in Turbo Scan Mode), 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. An optional Delay can be set so that
the scanner stays on the channel for 2 more seconds, waiting
for another transmission before resuming scanning.
