Terminology What are Highway Patrol Alerts? Most highway patrol vehicles on the road today are equipped with a secondary radio system known as a “mobile extender” or “vehicular repeater.” Whenever the dispatcher transmits to any vehicle in the district, “mobile extender” in every car within the district is activated. Using a constant PRIORITY check of specific frequencies in each state, the BCT8 recognizes and alerts you to transmissions from “mobile extender” radios as well as from car-to-car,

In a trunked radio system the frequencies are shared among the police and fire departments and a computer systematically assigns available frequencies when they are needed for communications. Sharing of the available public service frequencies, or trunking, allows cities, counties, or other agencies to accommodate hundreds of users with relatively few frequencies. Following a conversation on a trunked system using a scanner is difficult, if not impossible. Because when there's a short break duri

Where to Obtain More Information Before you can scan the PRIVATE bank, you must program frequencies into the scanner’s channels. The Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new scanner. However, this is not a complete list of frequencies for your area. To obtain frequency information for your area, contact one of the following: • Scanner Master 1 (800) Scanner (7226634) (Hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time Monday

Installing the BCT8 For Home Use (Desktop Installation) 1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC 12V jack on the rear panel. 2. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 3. Plug the Telescoping Antenna into the ANT connector. Extend the antenna to its full height. For frequencies higher than 406 MHz, shortening the antenna may improve the reception. 4. Use the desktop stand for a better viewing and operating angle. Helpful Hints • If strong interference or electrica

Applying Power for Vehicle Installation You can power your scanner using the supplied DC cigarette lighter power cord or an DC power cord. DC power Installation To power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket), you need a cigarette-lighter adapter. To connect an DC cigarette-lighter power cable, insert its barrel plug into the DC 12V jack on the rear of the scanner, then plug the power cable into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. Note: If you us

12V Applying Power Using Standard AC Power To power the scanner from an AC outlet, use the provided AC adapter with a 5.5 mm outer diameter/2.1mm inner diameter tip. Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 500 mA. The cord connector’s center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 12V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi- cations could damage the scanner or the adapter. • Always connect the AC adapter t

Scanning Overview You can scan in one of four ways: 1. Highway Patrol Scanning When you select a state you want to scan in Highway Patrol mode, you can scan pre-programmed Highway Patrol frequencies. 2. Service Scanning Press SVC to select one of the nine services to find an active frequency. 3. Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is different from scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper limits of the band. When an act

How Squelch Works Think of “SQUELCH” as a gate. If the gate is too low (squelch Strong Signals too low), everything (all noise as well as signals) gets through. Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise If the gate is set too high (squelch too high), nothing gets Strong Signals through. Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise If the gate is set just right (squelch set properly), just the desired Strong Signals signals get through. Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise Setting the Squelch 1.
