Introduction The BC80XLT is a new state-of-the-art radio with scanning capabilities. Store frequencies into 5 banks of 10 channels each. What is Scanning? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed on this page) do not transmit continuously. The BC80XLT scans programmed channels until it finds an active frequency. Scanning stops on an active frequency, and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues.
Feature Highlights 50 Channels — Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode. 29 MHz-956 MHz — Search these frequency ranges with your scanner. (The frequency coverage is not totally continuous from 29 MHz to 956 MHz.) 5 Priority Channels — Assign one Priority channel in each bank. Keep track of the activity on most important channel(s) while monitoring others. Manual Channel Access — Go directly to any channel.
