Tone-Out Multi-Channel Monitoring
The scanner can check multiple tone combination pages for channels whose settings are the same. To achieve this, set the channel
to the same frequency, modulation, and attenuation. For example, the scanner checks tone combinations for channel 1 to channel 3
for the following settings
Frequency (MHz) Modulation
Attenuator
Tone A (Hz)
Tone B (Hz)
Ch 1 137.0000
Auto (NFM)
Off
1000.0
2000.0
Ch 2 137.0000
Auto (NFM)
Off
2200.0
3200.0
Ch 3 137.0000

1800.0
2800.0
Ch 5 137.0000

Off
2000.0
3000.0
Ch 6 138.0000
Auto (NFM)

Although set to Auto, if the band default is anything other than FM or NFM, modulation will always be FM.
If you switch to Tone-Out Standby Mode for Multi-Channel Monitoring, the display switches every 2 seconds to show the frequency it
is checking. However, it is, at the same time, checking all frequencies for Tones. If one is detected, it switches to Tone-Out Hold
mode.
Location-Based (GPS) Scanning
The BCD996T can make use of data transmitted from an attached GPS unit that lets the radio automatically enable and disable
systems based on the geographic information you provide such as:
•
Latitude (the center of the range)
•
Longitude (center of the range)
•
Range (the radius of a circle around the latitude and longitude coordinates selected from .5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30,and 50 miles.
