Uniden BC296D Owner's Manual page 10

In addition, here are a few more of the many features your
scanner has. To get the most from your scanner, be sure to
review this entire manual.
• APCO Project 25 Phase 1 Compatible – works on the
latest 9600 bps systems, including systems that use C4FM
and CQPSK modulation.*
• Four-line, 16-character, Alpha Display – makes it easy for
you to see who is talking by displaying the assigned text tag
instead of just a frequency or talkgroup ID number.
• Automatic Digital Detect – allows the scanner to switch to
digital voice decoding when it detects valid APCO 25 data
without any special programming.
• 1000 Channels – lets you store frequencies in 10 banks of
100 channels each.
• 1000 Talkgroup ID's – lets you store 10 groups of 10 ID's
each per bank.
• Multi-System Tracking – scans conventional and trunking
systems at the same time.
• Included PC Programming Software and Cable – makes
programming your scanner much easier. Full-featured
software included (no registration needed).
• 10 Priority Channels – switches to the channel you assign
as priority if there is activity, so you won't miss a thing.
• Priority Talkgroups – increases the priority of selected
talkgroups so the scanner is more likely to switch to them if
there is activity.
• Priority Plus Scanning – lets you scan only those
channels you have selected as priority channels.
• CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes – prevents interference
from stations not using the mode you select; search mode
displays the CTCSS or DCS tone being used by the
received station.
• Preprogrammed Service Search – makes it easy to find
interesting frequencies used by public safety, news media,
TV broadcast, weather, amateur radio, FRS, GMRS, special
low power, railroad, aircraft, marine, and racing services.
• Data Skip – automatically skips frequencies that have a
constant-level transmission such as used on data channels
for some systems, paging systems, and internally generated
birdies.
*Note: Performance on digital systems can vary due to signal quality,
multipath interference, and cellular interference. Unlike analog
trunking, where you can hear the audio with some interference mixed
in, interference in a digital system completely blocks the signal. If you
do not get good digital reception, try adjusting your location or your
antenna until reception improves.
