User manual UNIDEN BC 9000XLT

[. . . ] 53 1 Introduction The BC9000XLT is a sophisticated information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. You can use it at home as a base unit, or install in your vehicle as a mobile unit. The BC9000XLT can store frequencies such as, police, fire/emergency, marine, air, weather, and other broadcasts into 20 banks of 25 channels each. The new Rotary Tuner feature enables rapid and easy selection of channels and frequencies. [. . . ] You can lock out that channel when you are more interested in the other channels for the current scanning session. When you lock out a channel, it is temporarily excluded from scanning, but it remains programmed so that you can easily unlock it for scanning later.

It is best to select a narrow range, so that you have a better chance of finding all the active channels. Use Search if you don't have a frequency directory handy, or if new stations have been added since the directory was published.
