10 Feature Highlights Feature Highlight s General Close Call TM RF Capture T echnology - you can set the scanner so it detects and pr ovides information about nearby radio transm issions. See “Using the Close Call Feature” on Page 7 2 for more information.
11 Feature Highlights Attenuator – Y ou can set the scanner ’s attenu ator to reduce the input strength of st rong signals by about 18 dB received by the scanner . Repeater Reverse – Y ou can set the scanner so it switches to the input frequency on a conventional repeater system.
12 Feature Highlights Custom Search – Let s you program up to 10 custom search ranges. Y ou can search any of these range s simultaneously . CTCSS/DCS Search – Lets the scanner search for CTCSS or DCS tones. Y ou can identify up to 50 CTCSS tones and 104 DCS tones.
13 Feature Highlights PC Control and Cloning PC Control – Y ou can transfer programm ing data to and from your scanner and your personal co mputer , and control the scanner using a co mputer . This helps you find frequencies listed on the Internet and load th em into the scanner .
14 Feature Highlights T o get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the bas ic functions available. If you are new to scanning, be sure to read “Underst anding Scanning” on Page 15 for a quick background on the technology .
15 Understanding Scanning Underst anding Scanning This section provides you with background on how scanning works. Y ou don’t really need to know all of this to use your scanner , but some background knowledge will help you get the most from your USC230.
16 Understanding Scanning for any active frequency within the lower and upper limit s you specify . When the scanner finds an active frequency , it stops on th at frequency as long as the transmission lasts. If you think the frequen cy is interesting, you can program it into the scanner ’s memory .
17 Understanding Scanning Y ou ca n search for t he following CTC SS frequencies an d DCS codes. CTCSS Frequencies (Hz) DCS Codes (O ctal) 67.0 69.3 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.4 88.5 91.5 94.8 97.4 100.0 103.5 107.2 1 10.9 1 14.8 1 18.8 123.0 127.3 131.
18 Understanding Scanning Using the Scanner at the Racetrack Keeping up with the action at the racetrack is easy and fun. Y ou can hear drivers communicating with their pit crews, of ficials co mmunicati ng with drivers and cre ws, and track workers communicatin g with everybody .
19 Understanding Scanning When you want to store a conventio nal system, all you need to know is the frequencies they opera te on. When you are scanning a conven tional system, the scanner stop s very briefly on each channel to see if there is activity .
20 Understanding Scanning Information On The Internet The Internet is a g reat source for current frequencies an d information about scanning. Many web sites have lists of frequencies for your area.
