Feature Highlights
• Trunk Tracking – Follows VHF High Band, UHF, 800/900MHz trunked public safety and
public service systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used.
• Multi-Track – Track more than one trunking system at a time. Scan conventional and
trunked systems at the same time.
• 500 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one
channel programmed to use the Scan mode.
• 24 Bands, 10 Banks – Includes 24 bands, with Aircraft and 800 MHz.10 banks with 50
channels each are useful for storing similar frequencies to maintain faster scanning cycles
or for storing all the frequencies of a trunked system.
• 25 MHz-1300 MHz – Indicates the range of frequencies that can be searched within the
bands of your scanner.
Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous and excludes the cellular band,
512-806MHz.
• 10 Priority Channels – You can assign one priority channel in each bank. Assigning a
priority channel allows you to keep track of activity on your most important channel(s)
while monitoring other channels for transmissions. You can also assign trunking priority
talkgroups.
• Preprogrammed Service (SVC) Search – Allows you to toggle through preprogrammed
public safety, news media, TV broadcast audio, Ham, CB, FRS, special low power,
railroad, aircraft, marine, and weather frequencies.
• Unique Data Skip – Allows your scanner to skip unwanted data transmissions and
reduces birdies.
• Memory Backup – If the battery completely discharges or if power is disconnected, the
frequencies programmed in your scanner are retained in memory.
• Manual Channel Access – Go directly to any channel.
• Attenuator – Reduces the signal strength on a per frequency basis.
• SmartScanner™ – Automatically program your BC780XLT with all the frequencies and
trunking talkgroups for your local area by accessing our national database with your
personal computer (PC) or just an external modem. (No PC required)
• Turbo Search – Increases the search speed to 300 steps per second. This applies only to
transmission bands with 5 kHz steps.
• Text Tags – You can customize your scanner by storing text tags (up to 16 characters).
• Auto Store – The scanner automatically arranges a memory store for searched frequencies.
• CTCSS/DCS – The scanner can receive and search for subaudible tones.
• NWR-SAME Alert – The scanner is compatible with warning tone and message
transmissions.
• FIPS Code – Six digit FIPS Code (emergency and geographic area code) programmable.
