Multi-Track
The UBCT8 allows you to track more than one system at a time. Here are some highlights of
this feature:
You can actually track up to 5 trunking systems at one time.
You can trunk scan, or search and scan conventional frequencies at the same time.
You can program conventional frequencies in the same bank as trunking systems.
After the scanner finishes checking a trunked system for activity, it will conventionally
scan the other frequencies in the bank (remember, only trunking frequencies are
programmed in Trunk mode).
To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select the banks you wish to be active,
and then press . The scanner will instantly begin scanning. You can switch to Search
mode and the scanner will search for any active ID’s on the system.
To switch ID Scan or ID Search, press or in the trunked system.
When more than one trunk system is active (for example two or more trunked systems or a
trunked system and one or more conventional frequencies), the radio jumps between
systems/frequencies as follows:
The scanner moves to a trunked system and looks for IDs in your
Scan List(s) for up to 1 second. If it finds no activity on your programmed
talkgroups, it moves on to conventional channels in the same bank or to the next
active bank.
If the scanner finds a talkgroup in one of your active Scan Lists, you
will begin to hear that communication and the scanner will of course display the
proper talkgroup number. When the communication ends, the scanner will wait for 2
seconds for any further replies and, if none, the scanner will move to the
conventional channels in the same bank or to the next bank.
The scanner will not look for any other IDs within the same trunked system (as this
would slow the scan process). If you press the key while you are listening to one
ID, the scanner will check to see if another ID in your Scan List is active. It will
disregard the ID to which you were just monitoring.
This mode works similarly to Trunk Scan. If the scanner finds any (non-
locked- out) ID when it checks the control channel, you will hear it. You will then hear any
replies that follow within 2 seconds. After that the scanner will move on and not
continuously search the system for additional IDs (on busy systems you would never leave
the system if this were the case). If you press the key while monitoring one ID, the radio
will check if any other IDs are active (it will disregard the ID you just left), and if none are
active, it will move on.
