Feature Highlights
Close CallTM RF Capture Technology - you can set the scanner so it detects and provides information about nearby radio transmissions. See Close CallTM RF Capture Technology on Page 37 for more information. Pager Screen - lets you set the scanner so it does not detect pager frequencies during Close Call search. Chain Search - lets you enter personal search bands in 10 locations and search all locations in a chain of frequency bands. Triple-Conversion Circuitry - virtually eliminates any interference from IF (intermediate frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency. Channel-Storage Banks - the scanner has 10 banks. You can store up to 20 frequencies into each bank (for a total of 200 frequencies), so you can more easily identify calls. Two-Second Scan Delay - delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel. Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching. Priority Channels - lets you program one channel in each bank (10 in all) and then have the scanner check that channel every 2 seconds while it scans the bank, so you do not miss transmissions on those channels. Six Service Banks - frequencies are preset in separate police, Fire/emergency, aircraft, ham,
marine, and weather banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of calls. Key Lock - lets you lock the scanner's keys to help prevent accidental changes to the scanner's programming. PC Programming - lets you quickly program the scanner using your PC and optional software. Direct Access - lets you directly access any channel. Display Backlight - makes the scanner easy to read in low-light situations. Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector - provides adequate reception in strong signal areas and is designed to help prevent antenna breakage. Or, you can connect an external antenna for better reception. Memory Backup - keeps the frequencies stored in memory for an extended time if the scanner loses power. Two Power Options - let you power the scanner using internal batteries or external AC power using the included AC adapter. Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you perform an operation correctly, and an error tone if you make an error. Battery Low Alert - warns you when battery power gets low.

About This Manual

The screen displays used in this manual are representations of what might appear when you use your scanner. Since what you see depends on the frequencies for your area and the settings you select, you might notice some differences between what is in this manual and what appears on your scanner.

Understanding Scanning

To get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the basic functions available. If you are new to scanning, be sure to read Understanding Scanning on Page 14 for a quick background on the technology behind the hobby. The first thing youll need to do is install batteries in the scanner. Then you need to connect the included antenna to the scanner. See Using Internal Batteries on Page 19 and Connecting the Antenna on Page 23 if you need any help doing this.
This section provides you with background on how scanning works. You dont really need to know all of this to use your scanner, but some background knowledge will help you get the most from your BC95XLT.

What is Scanning?

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most twoway communications do not transmit continuously. Your BC95XLT scans programmed channels until it finds an active frequency, then stops on that frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until the scanner receives another transmission.

What is Searching?

The BC95XLT can search for active frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into the scanner. When you select frequency bands to search, the scanner searches for any active frequency within the lower and upper limits you specify. When the scanner finds an active
Feature Highlights Understanding Scanning
frequency, it stops on that frequency as long as the transmission lasts. If you think the frequency is interesting, you can program it into one of the banks. If not, you can continue to search.

Conventional Scanning

Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept. Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned a single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater systems). Any time one of them transmits, their transmission always goes out on the same frequency. Up until the late 1980s this was the primary way that radio systems operated. Even today, there are many 2-way radio users who operate using a conventional system: Aircraft Amateur radio FRS/GMRS users Broadcast AM/FM/TV stations Many business radio users

When you want to store a conventional system, all you need to know is the frequencies they operate on. When you are scanning a conventional system, the scanner stops very briefly on each channel to see if there is activity. If there isnt, the scanner quickly moves to the next channel. If there is, then the scanner pauses on the transmission until it is over.

Simplex Operation

Simplex systems use a single frequency for both transmit and receive. Most radios using this type of operation are limited to line-of-sight operation. This type of radio is frequently used at construction job sites, and with inexpensive consumer radios such as
Understanding Highlights Feature Scanning
GMRS/FRS radios. The range is typically 1-8 miles, depending upon the terrain and many other factors.

Repeater Operation

Repeater systems use two frequencies: one transmits from the radio to a central repeater; the other transmits from the repeater to other radios in the system. With a repeater-based system, the repeater is located on top of a tall building or on a radio tower that provides great visibility to the area of operation. When a user transmits (on an input frequency), the signal is picked up by the repeater and retransmitted (on an output frequency). The users radios always listen for activity on the output frequency and transmit on the input frequency. Since the repeater is located very high, there is a very large line of sight. Typical repeater systems provide coverage out to about a 25-mile radius from the repeater location.
Where To Obtain More Information
By itself, this manual really only provides part of what you need to know to have fun scanning how to program and use the scanner.
Information On The Internet
The Internet is a great source for current frequencies and information about scanning. Many web sites have lists of frequencies for your area. You can use a search engine to find and use them.

Setting Up Your Scanner

These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner: If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing the height or angle of the telescoping antenna. To improve the scanners reception, use an optional external antenna designed for multiband coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna at a local electronics store). If the optional antenna has no cable, use 50-70 ohm coaxial cable for lead-in. A mating plug might be necessary for the optional antennas. Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance for private listening. Read the precautions on the inside front cover of this Owners Manual. Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom. Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.

Using Internal Batteries

You can power your scanner using two alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries (not supplied).
Using Non-Rechargeable Batteries
1. Make sure the power is turned off. 2. Slide the battery compartment cover. 3. Before you install alkaline or any other nonrechargeable batteries, use a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen to set REG. ALK. BATT./ NI-MH BATT. inside the compartment to REG. ALK. BATT.
Set REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT. to NI-MH BATT. only if you are using rechargeable batteries. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or burst if you try to recharge them. 4. Install two batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
Cautions: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

5. Replace the cover.

6. When flashes and the scanner beeps every 15 seconds, replace both batteries.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use two rechargeable batteries to power your scanner. Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries, you must charge them. The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you recharge Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries while they are in the scanner. To charge the batteries, set REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT. inside the battery compartment to NI-MH BATT., install the batteries in the scanner, and connect an external AC adapter to
the scanner's DC 6V jack (see Using AC Power on Page 23).
Do not connect either adapter to the scanner if nonrechargeable batteries (such as alkaline batteries) are installed in the scanner and REG. ALK. BATT./ NI-MH BATT. is set to NI-MH BATT., or if you are unsure of the switchs position. Non-rechargeable batteries will get hot and can even burst if you try to recharge them. Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries for the first time, charge them for 14 hours to bring them to a full charge. Discharged batteries take about 14 hours to fully recharge. Notes: Ni-MH batteries last longer and deliver more power if you occasionally let them fully discharge. To do this, simply use the scanner until it beeps every 15 seconds and flashes. To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge them in an area where the temperature is above 113F (45C) or below 40F (4C). For longer operation, you can also use highcapacity Ni-MH batteries to power the scanner. This type of battery takes longer to recharge. You can get high-capacity Ni-MH batteries at your local electronics store.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V, 500 mA AC adapter. To use the scanner on AC power, plug the AC adapter into DC 6V on the side of the scanner then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet. If rechargeable batteries are installed and REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT. is set to NI-MH BATT., the adapter powers the scanner and recharges the installed batteries at the same time.

Connecting the Antenna

To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connector on the top of your scanner, align the slots around the antenna's connector with the tabs on the scanner's BNC connector. Then slide the antenna's connector down over the scanner's connector and rotate the antenna connector's outer ring clockwise until it locks into place.

A Look At The Keypad

Your scanner's keys have various functions labeled on the key tops and below the keys. To select the function labeled on a key, simply press the key. To select the function labeled below a key, first press Func then release it. f appears on the display. Then press the next key in the function key sequence while f appears. f appears or disappears as you press Func.

Understanding Banks

Service Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to the weather, ham, marine, aircraft, police, and fire services.

Channel-Storage Banks

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, the 200 channels are divided into 10 channel-storage banks. Each bank has 20 channels. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those for the police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft. For example, the police department might use four frequencies in your town while the fire department uses an additional four. You could program the four police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank 1), and program the fire department frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in bank 2).

Operation

Operation The Scanner and Turning On Setting Squelch
Note: Make sure the scanner's antenna is connected before you turn it on. 1. Turn Squelch fully counterclockwise. 2. Press and hold for about 2 seconds to turn the scanner on, then turn Volume clockwise until you hear a hissing sound. 3. If the scanner is scanning, press Hold to stop scanning, then turn Squelch clockwise until the hissing stops.
Storing Known Frequencies Into Channels
1. Press Hold. Then enter the channel number where you want to store a frequency, then press Func and Pgm. The channel number appears. 2. Use the number keys and to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store. 3. Press E to store the frequency into the channel. Notes: If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 2, Error appears and the scanner beeps three times. Enter a valid frequency. The scanner automatically rounds the entered number to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter 151.473 (MHz), your scanner accepts it as 151.475. When you enter a frequency into a channel, the scanner automatically turns on the delay function and DLY appears. When delay is turned on, the scanner automatically pauses scanning
2 seconds after the end of a transmission before scanning proceeds to the next channel. To turn the function off or on, press Func + Dly. If you enter a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere, the scanner sounds an error tone and displays the channel that was duplicated. If you entered the frequency by mistake, press then enter the correct frequency. To enter the frequency anyway, press E to accept.
4. To program the next channel in sequence, press Func + E then repeat Steps 2 and 3.
Searching For and Temporarily Storing Active Frequencies

If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, use a search (except weather service search) to find a transmission. Note: When the scanner starts searching, it automatically turns on the delay function. To turn delay on or off, press Func + Dly.

Service Search

You can search for weather, ham, marine, aircraft, police, or fire transmissions without knowing the specific frequencies used in your area. The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to these services. To use this feature, press Func and Svc. SRCH appears and the scanner searches starting with the weather service bank. To select a different service bank, repeatedly press Func and Svc. Service mode appears on the display. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press Hold to stop searching and listen to the transmission. Hold appears. In this mode, you can
press Func + frequencies.

or Func +

To release the hold and continue searching, press Hold. Or, if you did not press Hold, simply press or Func + to continue searching. Func + Note: Because there are many different frequencies allocated to fire and police departments, it can take several minutes to search all the service frequencies.
Storing Frequencies into Channels During Service Search
You can store frequencies you found during service search or service search hold mode into channels. 1. Press Func and Pgm during service search or service search hold mode. The frequency and the lowest blank channel alternately appear. 2. Press E to store the frequency into the blank channel. If you want to select another channel, or Func + before you press press Func + E. You can also use the 0-9 key to select the bank. If you entered a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere, the scanner sounds an error tone and displays the channel that was duplicated. If you entered the frequency by mistake, press then enter the correct frequency. To enter the frequency anyway, press E to accept.
Scanning the Stored Channels
To begin scanning channels, press Scan. The scanner scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks. (See Locking Out Channels on Page 49 and Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off on Page 48). When the scanner finds a
transmission, it stops on it. When the transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning. Notes: If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan. If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak transmissions, turn Squelch clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak or distant station, turn Squelch counterclockwise. To ensure proper scanning, adjust Squelch until the audio mutes.

Manually Selecting a Channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details - even though there might be periods of silence - or if you want to monitor a specific channel. To manually select a channel, press Hold, enter the channel number then press Hold again. Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you want to listen to, press Hold once. (Repeatedly pressing Hold at this time causes the scanner to step through the channels.) Press Scan to resume automatic scanning.

Special Features

SpecialCallTM RF Capture Technology Close Features
Your scanner's Close Call feature lets you set the scanner so it detects then displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission. Close Call RF capture works great for finding frequencies at venues such as malls and sporting events. You can set the scanner so Close Call detection works "in the background" while you are scanning other frequencies, turn off normal scanning while Close Call is working, or turn off the Close Call feature and use the scanner normally. You can set the scanner so it alerts you when the Close Call feature detects a frequency. You can also set the frequency band where you want the scanner to look for transmissions. Unlike searching, which requires the scanner to tune to a frequency to check for a transmission, Close Call RF capture directly detects the presence of a strong, nearby signal and instantly tunes to the sources frequency. Notes: Close Call RF capture works well for locating the source of strong local transmissions such as mobile and handheld two-way radios in areas with no other strong transmission sources. However, if you are in an area with many transmission sources (such as pager radio transmitters, multi-use radio towers, traffic control devices, etc.), Close Call RF capture might not find the transmission you are searching for, or it might find a transmission other than the one you are searching for. Close Call RF capture cannot detect satellite dishes or any transmitter with a frequency above or below the frequency ranges listed under Setting the Close Call Options on Page 38.
Close Call works better with some types of transmissions than others. It might not correctly display frequency information for transmitters using a highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio beam antenna), if there are many transmitters operating at the same time in the same area, or if the transmitter is a broadcast television station.
Setting the Close Call Options
1. Press Func then press and hold C for 2 seconds. One of the following Close Call options appears. C-C.bnd: Lets you select the Close Call band. C-C.ALt: Lets you select the Close Call alert settings. C-C.PS: Lets you turn Pager Screen on or off. Pager Screen lets you set the scanner so it does not detect pager frequencies. C-C.dnd: This prevents breakings in audio during Close Call checks. 2. Repeatedly press or you want, then press E. to select the option

If you selected C-C.bnd, one of the following band names appears. bnd Lo: VHF Low Band (25.0000 - 54.0000 MHz) bnd Air: AIR Low Band (108.0000 - 136.9875 MHz) bnd Hi: VHF High Band (137.0000 - 174.0000 MHz) bnd UHF: UHF Band (406.0000 - 512.0000 MHz)
bnd 800: 800MHz Band (806.0000 - 956.0000 MHz) If you selected C-C.Alt, skip to Step 5. If you selected C-C.PS, skip to Step 7. If you selected C-C.dnd, skip to Step 9. 3. Repeatedly press or until the band you want to search appears, then press E to select it. Otherwise, press if you do not want to select it. The scanner displays the following options. Lo On or Lo OFF: Lets you select the VHF Lo frequency band. Air On or Air OFF: Lets you select the Air frequency band. Hi On or Hi OFF: Lets you select the VHF Hi frequency band. UHF On or UHF OFF: Lets you select the UHF frequency band. 800 On or 800 OFF: Lets you select the 800 MHz frequency band. 4. Repeatedly press or until the option you want appears, then press E to select it. Otherwise, press if you do not want to select it. Then skip to Step 11. 5. Press E while C-C.Alt appears. One of the following alert options appears. ALt bEEP: The scanner beeps when a Close Call signal is detected. ALt Light: The scanner flashes the display backlight when a Close Call signal is detected.
ALt bP-Lt: The scanner flashes the display backlight and beeps when a Close Call signal is detected. ALt OFF: The scanner does not provide any alert when a Close Call signal is detected. 6. Repeatedly press or until the option you want appears, then press E to select it. Otherwise, press if you do not want to select it. Then skip to Step 11. 7. Press E while C-C.PS appears. One of the following Pager Screen options appears. PS On: The scanner ignores hits on common pager frequencies. PS OFF: The scanner alerts you when it receives hits on common pager frequencies. 8. Repeatedly press or until the option you want appears, then press E to select it. Otherwise press if you do not want to select it. Then skip to Step 11. 9. Press E while C-C.dnd appears. One of the following Dont Disturb options appear: dnd ON: The scanner checks for a Close Call signal every 2 seconds only if the scanner is not stopped on a transmission. dnd OFF: The scanner checks for a Close Call signal every 2 seconds even if the scanner is stopped on a transmission.
10. Repeatedly press or until the option you want appears, then press E to select. 11. When you select the option, press Scan to start Close Call search. Otherwise, to continue normal scanning, repeatedly press Func until f disappears then press Scan.
Using Close Call RF Capture
To turn on the Close Call feature, press Func + C once except in WX search, band select, or program mode. C appears. Every 2 seconds, the scanner checks for frequencies in the range you specified in Setting the Close Call Options on Page 38, if it isnot already stopped on a transmission. Notes: Set the squelch tight (where only strong signals are received) while using Close Call. To continue scanning normally while the Close Call feature is working, simply press Scan twice.

Storing Frequencies Found During Direct Entry Search into Channel Memory
Follow these steps to store frequencies received during direct entry search mode or direct entry search hold mode. 1. Press Func + Pgm in direct entry search mode or direct entry search hold mode. The frequency and lowest blank channel alternate on the display.
2. Press E to store the frequency into the blank channel. To select another channel, repeatedly press Func + or Func + to select the blank channel you want, then press E. You can also use the 0-9 keys to select the bank. If you enter a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere, the scanner sounds an error tone and displays the channel that was duplicated. If you entered the frequency by mistake, press. To enter the frequency anyway, press E to accept. The scanner moves to program mode after you stored the frequency.

Search Skip Memory

You can skip up to 50 specified frequencies during a search. This lets you avoid unwanted frequencies or those already stored in a channel. Notes: You cannot skip frequencies during WX service search. Search skip frequencies are shared by service search, direct entry search, chain search, and Close Call modes. If skip frequencies are sent in certain mode, the frequencies are also skipped in other search modes and Close Call mode.
To skip a frequency, press Func and L/O when the scanner stops on the frequency during a search or a search hold. The scanner stores the frequency in memory and automatically resumes the search if it is not in hold. Follow these steps to clear a single frequency from skip memory so the scanner stops on it during a search.
1. Press Hold to stop the search. 2. Press Func + or Func + frequency. L/O appears. to select the
3. Press Func + L/O. L/O disappears. To clear all the skip frequencies at once while searching or search hold, press Func then press and hold L/O until the scanner beeps. Notes: If you selected all frequencies to be skipped within the search range, the scanner beeps 3 times and does not search. If you select more than 50 frequencies to skip, each new frequency replaces a frequency previously stored, beginning with the first stored frequency. Press Func + or Func + to select a skipped frequency while HOLD appears. L/O appears when you select a skipped frequency.
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific channel, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. The scanner continues to monitor the channel frequency for an additional 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching. The scanner automatically sets a delay when you store frequencies into channels or when you search frequencies. When the delay feature is on, DLY appears. If it is off, follow one of these steps to program a delay depending on how the scanner is operating,.
