Introduction 

The 

BC80XLT 

is a new state-of-the-art radio with scanning capabilities. 

Store frequencies into 5 banks of 10 channels each. 

 

What is Scanning? 

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications 
(listed on this page) do not transmit continuously. The 

BC80XLT 

scans 

programmed channels until it finds an active frequency.  Scanning stops on 
an active frequency, and remains on that channel as long as the 
transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle 
resumes until another transmission is received.  While the 

BC8OXLT 

scans 

channels, it is in Scan mode. When you stop scanning with 

“MANUAL”

 it is in 

Manual mode. 

What is Searching? 

The 

BC80XLT 

can search 11 bands to find active frequencies. This gives 

you the opportunity to find new frequencies that have not been programmed. 
While the 

BC80XLT 

searches for active frequencies, it is in Search mode. 

When you stop the search with 

“HOLD”

 it is in Search Hold mode.
