About Your New SportCat
The SportCat™ is a brand new state-of-the-art information
radio with automatic scanning capabilities. It can store
frequencies such as sporting events, police,
fire/emergency, and other communications into 10 banks of
10 channels each. And you can scan all 100 channels at
super fast Turbo Scan speed.
With the SportCat, you can do a fast search for active
frequencies on all 12 preprogrammed bands. In the v.h.f.
bands (29-54MHz and 137-174MHz) you can also use
super fast Turbo Search.
The SportCat also has Direct Channel Access for the first
10 channels. This provides quick and easy access to 10
different frequencies so you can keep up with the progress
and control of sporting events.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications (listed below) do not transmit
continuously. The SportCat scans programmed channels
at the rate of nearly 100 channels per second 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. Or, you can select an
optional Delay so the scanner stays on the channel for 2
more seconds after the transmission stops, waiting for
another transmission, before resuming scanning.
While the SportCat is scanning channels it is in “SCAN
Mode”. When you stop the scanning with
H
, it is in
“SCAN HOLD Mode”.
What is Searching?
The SportCat can search each of 12 preprogrammed
bands to find active frequencies. This is different from
scanning, because you can search for frequencies that
have not been programmed into your SportCat. You can
set the direction of searching as well as the speed. The
Turbo Search feature, new for Uniden scanners, can
search v.h.f. bands at up to 3 times the normal speed.
