the following options can be modified.
1:RANGE

2:STEPS

You can change the Auto receive mode to AM, FM, WFM and NFM.
4:ALPHA TAG
You can name to each channels and banks with up to 16 charactors.
3:DELAY
Set the delay for the search ranges. This applies to all the ranges (See
CHANNEL DATA-STEPS
).
4:ATTENUATOR
If you are near an signal source which emits unusually strong signal, the
scanner may be overloaded with its signal. Once overloaded, the scanner
may keep stopping on that signal and miss other transmissions.
UBC785XLT comes with an RF Attenuation feature. It attenuates (reduces)
the strength of a incoming signal in all modes to prevent stronger signals from
overloading the scanner.
5:TONE DATA
The default mode is
OFF
. This means that you will receive all transmissions
on any frequencies that are active within your search range(s). By selecting
CTCSS (analog) or DCS(digital) subaudible tone you can set the radio to
receive only a particular subaudible tone to be received during your search.
You can also lockout a particular subaudible tone. You may wish to do this if
you want to search a range but not hear transmissions on any frequency that
has a particular subaudible tone.
