Searching for Active Frequencies
Searching for Active Frequencies
Many people enjoy searching for the unknown frequencies that are in use in their
area but are not posted to any site or in any publication. The UBC330CRS has
two ways to search: Limit searching that searches between two set frequencies
and Service Searching that searches for specific types of services.
Using Limit Search
Programming an Upper/Lower Limit
Follow these steps to program an Upper and Lower limit for the limit search:
1. Press
SEARCH
then
HOLD
. The scanner holds on the current search
frequency.
2. Enter one of the range limits, then press
E/PGM
.
Press
s
or
t
then enter the other range limit , and press
E/PGM
.
Searching the Selected Range
After entering the limits (or use the default limits), press
SEARCH
. The scanner
starts searching from the lower range up to the higher range.
To change the direction of the search, press
s
or
t
.
Using Service Search
You can select any of Police, Marine, Rail Road, AM-CB and UHF-CB channels
for active frequencies in your area.
Selecting a Service to Search
Press
SVC
to enter the service search mode, then press the button
corresponding to the service you want to search. When the scanner
stops on a transmission, you can force it to resume searching by pressing
s
or
t
.
Setting Channel Delay
You can set the scanner to pause for 2 seconds at the end of a transmission on
a memory. This is useful to help prevent missed replies. Delay is turned on by
default when you program a memory. To turn Delay off (or back on), first, select
the channel. Then, press
DELAY
.
The scanner turns on the
DELAY
icon for memories that have been programmed
with delay.
