    Important Notice • The installation, possession, or use of this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require a permit in certain states, cities, and/or local jurisdictions. Your local law enforcement officials should be able to provide you with information regarding the laws in your community.

  • Page 11: Terminology

    What is Searching? The UBC3300XLT can search each of its 22 bands to find active frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into your Scanner’s channels.
  • Page 12 This type of scanning is difficult and frustrating. TrunkTracker III changes this! Not only does your new UBC3300XLT scan channels like a conventional scanner, it actually follows the users of a trunked radio system. Once you know a talkgroups ID, you won’t miss any of the action.

  • Page 19: Basic Operation

    Basic Operation Turn the Scanner On Turn the VOLUME control clockwise out of the detent position. The scanner automatically starts scanning. Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner initially, you may not receive any signals. Once you set the squelch and program some frequencies, you will begin hearing conversations regularly.You can select the type of the frequency when you turn the unit ON.

    Next you must program some frequencies (page 26). It is recommended that you read the next part "Understanding the Menu System" because it will assist you in accessing and understanding many of the features.

    I-Call (Motorola/EDACS) I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard by other system users. Your UBC3300XLT can receive these transmissions. How you receive I-Calls depends on whether you are in Search or Scan mode. During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not a talkgroup.

  • Page 62: Multi-Track

    Note: Motorola I-CALL tracking performance may vary between systems. Multi-Track The UBC3300XLT allows you to track more than one system at a time. Here are some highlights of this feature: ❖ You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at one time.
  • Page 63 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 SCAN.

  • Page 64: Edacs Reception

    Notice how the dotted line shows talkgroup 02-023 moving from channel to channel. Your UBC3300XLT can clearly and automatically follow this talkgroup, or any other, as you select. EDACS systems are organized in a logical way that keeps related talkgroups together.

    AFS talkgroups are used in all EDACS reception -- in ID Search, ID Lockout and ID Scan Scan Lists. The powerful AFS Partial Entry feature designed into the UBC3300XLT lets you use either a complete talkgroup code, or just the most significant part.

  • Page 68: Ltr Reception

    ® Reception Tracking ® ® (Logic Trunked Radio) systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or private communications service providers, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair services. These systems encode all trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.

  • Page 69: Motorola Reception

    Motorola Reception Motorola Tracking There are really two types of Motorola trunking systems. These are usually referred to as Type I and Type II systems. Type I only occurs on some 800 MHz systems. All VHF, UHF and 900 MHz trunking systems use Type II. One important distinction between these two systems is the amount of data transmitted by each radio when its push-to- talk button (PTT) is pressed.

  • Page 73: Toggling The Status Bit

    An emergency call will occur on a unique talkgroup from its primary assignment, for example. Because the UBC3300XLT defaults to Status-Bit ON mode, you never need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have programmed talkgroup 33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group, you will hear it on 33264.

    Disconnect Tone Detect Option (End Code) When this function is disabled, the radio looks for squelch before returning to the Control Channel instead of waiting for the Disconnect Tone.
