State Scanning
When you activate Close Call your scanner will detect nearby
strong radio frequencies. You may run Close Call in the background of any of the four
options below or on its own.
Press to select one of the six services to find an active
frequency. Police, Railroad and AM CB service frequencies are valid for Australia only.
Aircraft, Marine and UHF CB service frequencies are valid for both Australia and
New Zealand.
If you have programmed frequencies into this bank, press
then or to scan only those that you have programmed in this bank.
You can select Police, Fire and Ambulance frequencies which are
pre-programmed on a Australian state by state (including New Zealand) basis.
2. While the alert tone sounds the display shows 'ubct8'.

Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is different from
scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper
limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner will stop and stay on
that frequency as long as that transmission lasts. If that frequency is interesting to you,
press to hold the frequency on the display. Then program it into the
private bank you want to store. If you do not want to program that frequency, press
or just wait until the transmission ends. The search resumes
automatically 2 seconds after the last transmission and looks for more active
frequencies.
Before you can scan the Private Bank, you must program frequencies into the
channels. To program frequencies, see “Programming Frequencies into Channels”
on page 21.
When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that
channel as long as the transmission continues. When the
transmission ends, the scanner will remain on the same
channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding
transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2
seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.
1. Turn the knob clockwise.
The scanner is turned on: the Alert Light flashes and the Alert
Tone beeps loudly.
The Alert Tone depends on the currently setting selected
(see page 20).
