About Your New UBC60XLT

The UBC60XL T is a brand new state-of-the-art information

radio with automatic scanning capabilities. It can store

frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, amateur,

and other communications into 10 channels.

Feature Highlights

10Channels Program onefrequency in each channel. You

must have at least one channel programmed to use this

scanner.

8 Bands, 66 MHz -512 MHz Scanthese frequency ranges

with your scanner. (Note: Thefrequency coverage is not

totally continuous from 66.0 MHzto 512 MHz.)

Weather Channels Useyour scanner as a weather

information radio. (WeatherService is currently not available in

Australia)

Memory Backup Frequenciesprogrammed inthe channels

are retained in memory for at least 1day, and typically 3 days,

when batteries are removedfrom the scanner.

What is Scanning?

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way

communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously.

The UBC60XL T scans programmed channels at the rate of

nearly 10 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 scanner stays on the channel for 2

more seconds after the transmission stops, waiting for another

transmission. The scanning cycle then resumes until another

transmission is received.

While the UBC60XL T is scanning channels, it is in "SCAN

Mode". When you stopthe scanning with CMAD, it is in

"MANUAL Mode".
