Dropout Delay; Weather And Same Alert; Close Call ® Frequency Capture; Close Call Temporary Store - Uniden BCD996XT User Manual

Dropout Delay

Controls whether the scanner pauses at the end of a transmission to wait for a reply.
You can set the Delay time for each System. All Channels in the System share the same delay setting. You
can also set the Delay time for Search, Close Call and Tone-Out.
You can set the minus delay time. In that case, the scanner only stops on transmissions for the set
duration, then automatically resumes.

Weather and SAME Alert

The scanner can alert to Weather Alert Tone, all FIPS or selected FIPS.
Close Call ® Frequency Capture
The scanner can immediately detect and lock onto a transmission above threshold signal strength.

Close Call Temporary Store

The scanner scans the last 10 frequencies captured by Close Call so that you can continue to receive the
signal even after the signal is not strong enough to trigger a Close Call hit..

Tone-Out Sequential Decode

Lets you set the scanner to act as a two-tone pager for fire tone-out standby. If you do not know the tones
being used, the scanner can detect the tones when it receives a page.

Location-Based Scanning*

The scanner can automatically lock and unlock systems, sites and channel groups based on your current
location as provided by an external GPS unit (not included).

Location Alert System*

The scanner alerts you when you approached a stored location.

Navigation Modes*

Indicate the Direction / Distance / Time to Goal for locations you set.

GPS Compatibility*

Compatible GPS units output location data that conforms to NMEA-0183 v3.01. The scanner uses the GGA
and RMC sentences as defined by that specification. Note that this standard specifies an RS232 serial
connection. GPS units that have USB connectivity are not compatible with this scanner.

Wired Cloning

You can clone all programmed data, including Memory Architecture, Menu settings and other parameters
from one BCD396XT to another BCD396XT connected with RS232C cable.

Band Scope

Band Scope Mode searches a frequency range and displays a graphic of the signal level in real time.
In Band Scope Hold Mode, the user can monitor the frequency displayed.
