[. . . ] Programming Mode Screen When you enter the Programming Mode, "CH" blinks next to the frequency on the display. You can now select a bank to place the frequency in. 16 UB317Z (BC3000XLT) 0916 9/16/03 12:43 PM Page 17 Scanning Overview You can scan in one of three ways: 1. Service Bank Scanning Press one of the six service bank keys, [POLICE], [FIRE/EMS], [AIR/MRN], [WX], or [CB] to find an active frequency. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner will stop and stay on that frequency as long as that transmission lasts. If that frequency is interesting to you, press [HOLD] to hold the frequency in the display. Then program it into one of the programmable banks (Private, Police or Fire/EMS). If you do not want to program that frequency, press [SEARCH] or just wait untill the transmission ends. The search resumes automatically 2 seconds after the last transmission and looks for more active frequencies. PRIVATE Bank Scanning If you have programmed frequencies into this bank, press [PRIVATE] to scan only those that you have programmed in this bank. Note: Before you can scan the Private bank, you must program frequencies into the channels. · Before you can scan the Private bank, you must program the channels. Weather Channel Scan The BC3000XLT allows you to search for your local NOAA weather channel. Press [WX] to find the active weather channel in your area from 10 pre-programmed channels. It is possible that your area is covered by more than one weather station. When you press [WX], the BC3000XLT will find an active broadcast immediately. If the broadcast sounds weak and distant, press [WX] again to look for a closer station. 19 UB317Z (BC3000XLT) 0916 9/16/03 12:43 PM Page 20 Notes: · All weather channels transmit continuous broadcasts. Once the Weather scan stops on a transmission, it will remain on that channel. In some parts of the country, you may not be able to monitor weather broadcasts, such as in low-lying areas. · It is not recommended to program a weather frequency into any banks. Because weather channels transmit continuously, the scanner will stop on that channel, disrupting the scanning cycle. The Weather Scan feature was provided specifically to avoid this occurrence. Channel Lock Out · If the scanner stops on a particular channel due to noise or frequent un-wanted transmissions, you may want to keep that channel from being scanned.
