Using Turbo Search Turbo Search increases the search speed from 100 frequencies per second to 300 frequencies per second in ranges where the frequencies are spaced 5 kHz apart. Use these keys: While searching, presst. Using Search Delay On some two-way channels there might be short lapses in the signal before a reply. The Search Delay feature causes the scanner to wait two seconds after the end of a transmission before resuming searching, in case there is a reply. Unlike Scan Delay, you don’t have to turn on Search Delay for each frequency in the search range. Search Delay works for the entire frequency range you chose. PressYto turn Search Delay ON. 31 COUNT AUX STATUS SCAN SRCMANUAL AUTO PROG SEND ALPHA HOLD LIMIT MEM SHIFT LINEEXT SP PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA BRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT L/O DELAY ATT 12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E A FB GC HD IE JFREQ CHAN LOCKSQUELCH VOLUME OFF BC XLT9000 TWIN TURBO PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA L/O DELAY ATT Mode Keys SRC NFM 5. 0 KHz MHz 4 6.0150T
Locking Out Frequencies This feature is similar to locking out a programmed channel, except you can only lock out 50 frequencies. Use these keys: While searching pressLwhen the scanner stops on an undesired frequency. Search resumes immediately. Unlocking a Frequency 1. Presshto stop the search. 2. Pressto find the frequency you want to unlock. Or chooseFREQwith the Rotary Tuner Mode Selector and tune in the frequency. 3.

Unlocking All Frequencies 1. Presshto stop the search. 2. Find any locked-out frequency. 3. Press and holdLfor two seconds. You hear a double beep when all frequencies are unlocked. Birdies Birdies are internally generated frequencies that cause the scanner to stop during search. If you have problems with these frequencies, use the lockout features to keep the scanner from stopping.

Additional Scanner Features Use these keys: Scanning Weather Channels The BC9000XLT is not preprogrammed with NOAA Weather frequencies. See the Betty Bearcat Frequency Guide for a list of weather frequencies in your area. Then, see page 11 of this Operating Guide to program the frequencies into the BC9000XLT. Using Data Skip Some frequencies carry un-modulated signals or data signals (such as pager preamble signals or telefax signals). You can set the scanner to continue scanning after a 3-second delay, when it encounter such signals. Pressdto turn Data Skip ON. Note: Data Skipis not available for the AM band and is not active during Priority scan. Note:You can turn Data Skipon or off at any time during scanning, searching and during Auto Store. 34 COUNT AUX STATUS SCAN SRCMANUAL AUTO PROG SEND ALPHA HOLD LIMIT MEM SHIFT LINEEXT SP PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA BRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT L/O DELAY ATT 12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E A FB GC HD IE JFREQ CHAN LOCKSQUELCH VOLUME OFF BC XLT9000 TWIN TURBO SRC AUTOHOLD LIMITPRI TURBO CTCSS DATA L/O DELAY ATT COUNT AUX STATUS PROG SEND ALPHAMEM SHIFT BRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E Status, Search, Mode, Numeric and Special Function Keys
Changing the Frequency Step The frequency step is the minimum space between frequencies in the Manual or Search Mode. Your scanner is pre-programmed with a default frequency step for each of its frequency bands. You can override the default frequency step to search in larger or smaller increments when searching, during Auto Store, or when stepping through frequencies withh,l, or the Rotary Tuner. 1. Presshto stop the search. 2. Pressf. 3. Press the desired step on the numeric keypad. Example:Press). To return to the original frequency step, press?twice. 35 5 . 0KHz ch 230 NFM 48.0000MHz 50 . 0KHz ch230 STEP:50.0KHz 5 0 .0KHz ch 230 NFM 48.0000MHz 5 . 0KHz ch 230 NFM 48.0000MHz
Setting the Signal Mode Your scanner is capable of receiving three signal modes: AM Amplitude Modulation NFM Narrow Frequency Modulation WFM Wide Frequency Modulation Each of the scanner’s frequency bands is pre-programmed with a default signal mode. If you want to override the default signal mode for a particular frequency, use these keys: 1. Pressf. 2. Press the signal mode.

Using Signal Attenuation When theATTLED is on, the incoming signal strength is attenuated (reduced) by about 15 dB. This prevents unusually strong signals from over-loading the scanner. In the Scan Mode, you must individually program each channel you want to use the Signal Attenuation feature. You can use the Signal Attenuation feature in the Manual, Search, or Scan Mode. Use these keys: While Scanning: 1. Pressm. 2. PressT. The display does not change. While Searching, pressT. 37 COUNT AUX STATUS SCAN SRCMANUAL AUTO PROG SEND ALPHA HOLD LIMIT MEM SHIFT LINEEXT SP PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA BRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT L/O DELAY ATT 12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E A FB GC HD IE JFREQ CHAN LOCKSQUELCH VOLUME OFF BC XLT9000 TWIN TURBO PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA L/O DELAY ATTSCANMANUAL Bank D ch 83 855.9125MHz
Preventing Accidental Programming The BC9000XLT has a lock feature to prevent accidental programming entries. To disable thee,P, N, andUkeys, move the rear panel switch to ON. When you presse,P,N, orU, a message appears. Using COUNT to Monitor Channel Activity The Count feature counts the number of times scanning stops on an active channel.
