Feature Highlights Twin Turbo Scan/Search – This lightning-fast technology enables the BC 9000 XLT to scan up to 100 channels per second and search up to 300 steps per second (in 5kHz steps). Because the frequency coverage is so large (see ÉSpecifications,Ê page 53, for band listing), a very fast scanning system is essential. That is why we com[...]

Variable Frequency Steps (Increments) —In the search or Manual Mode, lets you change the steps between frequencies. Channel/Frequency Lockout —Lets you temporarily remove channels or frequencies from the scanning or search cycle. Signal Attenuation —Reduces the scanner’s sensitivity for unusually strong signals often found on the WFM (wide [...]

Getting Started Base Installation 1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC 13.8V 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 imp[...]

What is Scanning? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously. The BC 9000 XLT scans programmed channels at the rate of up to 100 channels per second until it finds an active frequency. Scanning stops on an active frequency, and remains on that channel as long as the transmission [...]

Banks and Channels BC 9000 XLT Banks and channels are the way stored frequencies are organized in your scanner. A channel is a memory location where you store a frequency. The channels in the BC 9000 XLT are numbered 1 - 500. A bank is a group of channels. The BC 9000 XLT has 20 banks with 25 channels in each. The banks are useful for storing simil[...]

2. Think of the Squelch Control as a gate. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise. This raises the “Squelch Gate” so high that no signals can get through. 3. Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise until you hear a hiss. This lowers the “Squelch Gate” so that everything gets through ... noise, weak signals, and strong signals. 4. Turn SQUELCH back counte[...]
