Terminology

What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications do not transmit continuously. The UBC780XLT scans the channels you program until it finds an active frequency. Scanning stops on an active frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received.

What is Searching?

The UBC780XLT can search each of its 24 bands to find active frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into your scanner. The scanner automatically chooses between two speeds while searching. Turbo Search, can search the VHF FM bands at up to 300 channels per second.

What is Trunk Tracking?

Conventional scanning is a simple concept. You enter a radio frequency in your scanners memory which is used by someone you want to monitor. For example, the police in your area may broadcast on 460.500 MHz, the fire department on 154.445 MHz, the highway department on 37.900 MHz, etc. So when your scanner stops on a frequency, you usually know who it is, and more importantly, you can stop on a channel and listen to an entire conversation. This type of scanning is easy and fun. As the demand for public communications has increased, many public radio users don't have enough frequencies to meet their needs, and this has created a serious problem. Trunking radio systems solve this problem. In a trunked radio system, which contains up to 28 different frequencies, radio users are divided into groups, often called talkgroups, and these talkgroups are assigned specific IDs. When someone in a talkgroup uses their radio, a brief burst of data is broadcasted before each transmission. The trunking system computer uses this data to temporarily assign each radio in a talkgroup to an available frequency. If the group using a frequency stops broadcasting or pauses between replies for a few seconds, they are removed from the frequency so another talkgroup can use it. 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 during the conversation you're monitoring, its possible that the talkgroup will be assigned to a completely different frequency in the trunked system. This type of scanning is difficult and frustrating.

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones. Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Set the VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOLUME to a comfortable level. Once you set the VOLUME, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Connecting the Clone Cable
You can transfer the programmed data to and from another UBC780XLT scanner using an RS232C Cable (9 pin to 9 pin) (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanners REMOTE jacks. See Clone Mode on page 56. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit available through your local electronics store.
Connecting the Tape Recorder
You can use a standard tape recorder or a VOX (Voice Operated Control) recorder. To connect the recorder to the scanner, connect a cable with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug from the tape recorders remote jack to the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner. (Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of cables and tape recorders.) Refer to the Record section under Additional Features in the manual. Remember! You must mark a channel, ID, talkgroup, or bank for Recording in order for this feature to work. The LINE icon appears on all channels that have been properly marked. This feature does not work if your scanner is set with

MUTE ON.

The VOLUME control affects the Audio output. Do not set the volume on minimum. Make a trial taping to be certain the volume levels are set correctly.

Basic Operation

Turn the Scanner On
Turn the VOLUME control clockwise out of the detent position. The scanner automatically starts scanning. Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner initially, you may not receive any signals. Once you set the squelch and program some frequencies, you will be hearing conversations regularly.

CHANNELS

Frequency not entered
Frequency Locked Out (L/O)
Still another method of direct access to a specific channel: Press MAN. Press v or w to select the channel. (or press and hold v or w to scroll more quickly.)
Lastly to step up through the channels one at a time, repeatedly press MAN.

RF Attenuation Feature

The UBC780XLT comes with an RF Attenuation feature. If you're near an unusually strong signal source, the signal may overload the scanner. The scanner may stop repeatedly on that signal and miss other transmissions. The RF Attenuation feature works in all modes and attenuates (reduces) the incoming signal strength to prevent stronger signals from overloading the scanner. The RF attenuation is set at the menu mode. 1. Press MENU. 2. For Search mode, press v or w to select SEARCH EVENT and then press E. OR For Scan mode, press v or w to select CH DATA and then press E. Then you must enter your channel data by pressing v , w or direct keypad entry. Then press E. 3. Press v or w to select ATTENUATOR and then press E. 4. Set to ON using v or w and then press E. ATT appears on the display.
Remember! You can also use the VFO control for scrolling. Also instead of pressing E, you can press the VFO/SELECT control or press the SELECT/MUTE key.
Note: Attenuation will only be active for the specified channel. In SEARCH mode, it is applied to the search ranges in all banks.

Setting the Delay Mode

A default delay of 2 seconds is automatically set for each frequency or talkgroup. A different delay can be set for each programmed channel so that when scan or search stops on a channel there is a brief pause before the scanning cycle resumes. To set the delay feature, enter into the menu mode. 1. Press MENU. 2. Press v or w to select CH DATA and then press E. 3. Select the channel number to be delayed using v or w and then press E. 4. Press v or w to select DELAY and then press E.
5. Press v or w to select one of the delay periods provided and then press E. DLY appears on the display unless no delay has been set. 6. For Search mode, select SEARCH EVENT - DELAY, then set the delay period. Note: The delay periods are as follows: None: Delay feature off 1 sec.: Delays for 1 sec. before re-scanning 2 sec.: Delays for 2 sec. before re-scanning 4 sec.: Delays for 4 sec. before re-scanning Infinite: Stays on until SCAN is pressed -2 sec.: Stays for 2 sec. only before re-scanning * -5 sec.: Stays for 5 sec. only before re-scanning * -10 sec.: Stays for 10 sec. only before re-scanning * *Setting negative delay periods are useful if you are only interested in small segments of conversations. For example: If you set a -5 second delay, you will only hear 5 seconds of the conversation and then the scanner will resume scanning, whether or not the conversation is finished.

Hint: MONITOR mode is an excellent way to observe system activity and determine
which talkgroups are most active. Locked-out IDs display during MONITOR mode. 3. Press SRCH to begin searching and receiving. You will hear talkgroups and see them on the screen. Talkgroups display differently in Motorola, EDACS and LTR systems. You should read the appropriate parts of this guide to understand the formats.
The bottom line of the display indicates the Bank and the type of trunked system you are monitoring. You can change this to display a bank tag by using the System Menu. Regardless of the system, you won't know exactly who you are receiving until you listen for a while. Of course, figuring out who each ID represents is half the fun of TrunkTracking. Later, when you learn more about a system, you will want to store lists of talkgroups. Then you can scan specific agencies and users, and use the many other features your radio provides.
ID Hold and Direct Entry ID Hold Mode
Just like in conventional Search, HOLD lets you pause ID Search on an interesting transmission without storing the talkgroup into memory. If you hear an interesting ID during SEARCH mode, and want to continue listening to it - Press HOLD/v to stop the search. HOLD appears in the display. If you want to listen to a specific ID, while in HOLD - Use the keypad to enter the ID you want and press HOLD/v. HOLD appears in the display. If you want to stop holding - Press SRCH to return to Search Mode.

ID Lockout

Like conventional scanning, its possible to lockout unwanted traffic. This is particularly important in trunked systems because in many areas, water meters, door alarms, traffic signals, and other mechanical devices are assigned IDs just like other users. Also some users scramble or encrypt their communications, and you may want to lock out these unintelligible broadcasts. To lockout an ID, press L/O when the ID displays. The ID is locked out. You can lockout up to 200 IDs. Note: If you lockout an ID in Search mode, it is also locked out in Scan List mode. Conversely, if you lockout an ID while in Scan List mode, it is locked out in Search mode. For information about Scan Lists see page 42. EDACS BLOCKOUT is a powerful form of ID LOCKOUT that can be used only with AFS and EDACS systems. This feature lets you lock out entire Agencies or Fleets, not just individual talkgroups. Using ID BLOCKOUT you can, for example, prevent Search from stopping on any of hundreds of talkgroups in the Utilities agency. You can do this with just a few keystrokes. To use ID BLOCKOUT just enter the Agency- part, or the Agency-Fleet part, of the talkgroup code and press L/O. For example, to Blockout Agency 4 in Trunk Search, press HOLD/v, 04, (decimal key), and then L/O. For other ways to use partial AFS entry, be sure to read the section "EDACS Reception".

Restoring Locked-out IDs

To unlock a single ID, follow these steps: 1. Press MENU. 2. Select TRUNK DATA - BANK NO. - L/O ID REVIEW using v, w or VFO and pressing E, SELECT or VFO. 3. Select the locked out ID you want to unlock using v or w. 4. Press L/O. The ID is unlocked and the next locked ID displays. To unlock all locked out IDs in a bank at once: 1. Press E instead of L/O in step 4 above. 2. To exit from this mode, press MENU repeatedly.
Channel Activity Indicators
The UBC780XLT has 30 Channel Activity Indicators to visually display a trunked systems activity. Youll always know which frequencies are in use and how much communication traffic is occurring. Each frequency you program in a trunking bank corresponds to an activity indicator at the top of your scanners display. The way in which the Activity Indicators display provide you with information about the system youre tracking. The indicator which remains on, even if when there is no traffic, represents the frequency being used as the data channel.
If an indicator turns on and you don't hear a conversation, then the channel may be used as a telephone interconnect call (some systems) or a talkgroup that has been locked out.
The indicator which flashes when an ID displays represents the frequency being used by the talkgroup.
If you're holding on an ID which isn't active, the activity indicators will turn on and off as other groups use the system.

Scan Lists

Each bank of your UBC780XLT can be a trunk tracking bank and it can be a conventional scanning bank. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favourite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk tracking bank. (1000 if you use all banks as trunking banks!) Scan Lists help you organise the trunking system users into categories. For example, you might use List#1 for police IDs, List#2 for fire department IDs, List#3 for emergency medical service IDs, etc. Once IDs are stored in lists, you can scan them like you scan conventional frequencies and you can lock out any one (and up to 9) of the 10 scan lists by pressing the corresponding numeric key. When an ID is active, the scan list number icon into which it is programmed will flash in the display (when the LIST icon is also active see below). You can program your scan lists either manually or during trunking search mode. SELECT Key Use the SELECT key while trunking to toggle between viewing the active Banks and the active Scan Lists. To see which is currently active, check the display for either the BANK or the LIST icon.

Emergency Call Alert

Your UBC780XLT alerts you when an EDACS Emergency transmission occurs. EDACS systems often provide users with an 'Emergency' button on their radios. Users in trouble can alert the dispatcher and other units and get priority access to the radio system. When a user activates Emergency mode your scanner will flash EMERGENCY during the entire transmission. At the beginning of each transmission it will sound a distinctive emergency alert tone three times.

Patch Tracking

The UBC780XLT can follow EDACS patched talkgroups. EDACS systems sometimes bring several talkgroups together in a 'Patch'. A patch might be used by a police agency at night to provide a single channel with a single dispatcher for a wide area. A patch is created when a single, temporary talkgroup substitutes for the original talkgroups. While the patch is running, which may be for hours or days, the original talkgroups cease to be used. If you were monitoring one of these talkgroups, you might think there was no traffic, but in fact the talkgroup was operating at the different temporary number. If a talkgroup in your Scan List is patched, your scanner will continue to receive it under its new identity until the patch is ended. When a patch is being received, the radio will display [PATCH ID], and will show the temporary common talkgroup plus all the included talkgroups in a cycling display. The UBC780XLT is limited to following one patch. The temporary talkgroups used for patches are usually found in AFS code 15-xxx, and sometimes 00-xxx. 47

LTR Reception

LTR Tracking
LTR (Logic Trunked Radio) systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or private communications service providers, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair services. These systems encode all trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers. These numbers are in the form AHHUUU, where: A= Area code (0 or 1) H= Home repeater (01 through 20) U= User ID (000 through 254) When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the LTR mode, it first decodes the LTR data included with the transmission. In the ID Search mode, the scanner stops on the transmission and displays the talkgroup ID on the display. In the ID Scan mode, the scanner only stops on the transmission if the LTR data matches a talkgroup ID that you have stored in the banks talkgroup ID list and have not locked out. LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each radio has a unique ID code.

Clone Mode

You will need to purchase an RS232C cable and a null modem adaptor. RS232C cables are available as male to male or male to female. Even if the cable you buy already has the Male to Male connectors, you will still have to have the null modem adaptor. Below you will see the pin connections that are internal to a standard device. (These items are available at your local electronics stores.) To connect the scanner to scanner: Plug the male end of the RS232C straight interface cables (not supplied) into the remote port on the rear of one of the two scanners. Then connect the DB-9 to DB-9 null modem adaptor to the cable. Then plug the the other side of the null modem adaptor to the other scanner. (DB9 Gender changers are also available at your local electronics store.) Null Modem Adaptor Pin connections
Female DBMale DB6&7 Not used
You can clone all of the programming of one UBC780XLT into another, including frequencies, talkgroup IDs, alpha tags, delay settings, etc. After connecting the two scanners, turn the radios on. Prepare each scanner for clone mode as follows. 1. Press MENU. 2. Select SYSTEM DATA - CLONE using v, w or VFO and pressing E, SELECT or VFO. 3. Determine the scanner that has the frequency data that you want to transfer. This one must be set up as the Master Unit, and the other must be set as the Slave Unit. 4. On the scanner that is the Master Unit, select MASTER, then press E.
5. On the scanner that is the Slave Unit, select SLAVE, then press E. 6. Press the SCAN key on both scanners. The data transfer is started from the Master Unit to the Slave Unit. During the data transfer, both scanners show the following displays.
When the data transfer is completed,

COMPLETE displays.

If the data transfer is not successful, the following error message will appear.
Note: To clear ERROR, press. To exit the clone mode, press the menu key repeatedly.
Note: Once you have completed the cloning of the scanners, reset by turning the scanners off and then on again. This is particularly important to know if you wish to clone another scanner right away.

Additional Features

The following additional features are designed for you to customise your scanner. Once these features have been turned on or off, they will remain as they are set until you reset them, even if you turn the scanner off and then on again. Dimmer To change brightness of the display:

1. Press MENU.

2. Press E to select SYSTEM DATA. 3. Press E to select DIMMER. 4. Select one from High-Medium-Off using v or w and then press E. Enter Lock You can lockout the keypad to prevent any accidental entry. To activate this feature: 1. Press MENU. 2. Press E to select SYSTEM DATA. 3. Press w to select ENTER LOCK then press E. 4. Set to ON using v or w and then press E. The icon appears on the display when locked. Key Beep Option To choose beep sound on or off: 1. Press MENU. 2. Press E to select SYSTEM DATA. 3. Press w to select KEY BEEP and then press E. 4. Set to ON or OFF using v or w and then press E. Screen Mask The trunk, frequency, receiving mode, and signal meter indications on the display are masked when this feature is activated. (except while in Search mode) This feature reduces the amount of displayed information. 1. Press MENU. 2. Press E to select SYSTEM DATA. 3. Press w to select SCREEN MASK and then press E. 4. Set to ON or OFF using v or w and then press E. 5. To quickly turn off the screen mask, press the VFO/SELECT control. 58
Reverse Mode This key will allow the user to observe the reverse frequency of the repeater. While pressing /RVRS, the standard pair frequency will be displayed. For a list of the standard pair frequencies, refer to the table Reverse List in the Appendix. If the frequency that you have chosen does not have an offset frequency, the second line will indicate the error and display NO REVERSE. This feature does not work in the SVC Search mode. Mute On/Off To manually turn on the Mute function, press and hold MUTE for more than 1 second until the
MUTE ON is displayed. You will not hear any audio. This feature does not function in the
WX alert mode, because the audio is already muted. To turn it off, press MUTE again. Record On/Off It is possible for you to record every one of the 500 channels or every ID that you have programmed. (up to 1000 IDs). Once you have determined the channels or talkgroups that you want to record, you must mark them to be recorded. Through the menu system, set the RECORD ON for each channel, ID, or talkgroup using the 2:CHANNEL DATA , 3:TRUNK DATA, or 4:SEARCH EVENT menu screens. The audio signal from the TAPE OUT Jack on the rear of the scanner will be turned on for each one that was marked. When this feature is set on, the LINE icon appears in the display.(Refer to page 9) Channel Step Selection You can set channel steps, 5 kHz - 100 kHz or Auto, in Manual mode or Chain search mode. The default receive mode should be the proper mode setting in almost all cases. You may wish to set some VHF channels for NFM mode, depending on any adjacent channel interference problems. Note that WFM is typically only used for broadcast frequencies, such as TV audio or FM radio. See STEPS in Menu Description for details. Receiving Mode Selection You can also set the receiving mode, AM or FM etc., in Manual mode or Chain search mode. See MODE in Menu Description for details. Frequency and Channel Tuning with the VFO Control The VFO knob can be used for changing frequencies or changing memory channels (for conventional channels or talkgroup ID Scan Lists). 1. The default setting is Channel. The CHAN icon appears in the display in this setting. In Manual mode, turn the VFO control to the right (to step up through channels) or to the left (to step down through channels. If you are in Trunk Manual mode, you will step through Scan List memory locations (whether the CHAN or the FREQ icon is active). 2. To change the default setting to Frequency, press the VFO/SELECT control in Manual mode. The icon will change to FREQ. Now turn the VFO to the right to step up through frequencies sequentially or to the left to step down through frequencies. To change the step, you will need to go into the Channel Data Menu and adjust the step for the desired memory location. 59

Enter Lock - This is the term used for locking the keypad. This prevents accidental re-programming of channels and talkgroups entered into memory. The default setting is off. When
ENTER LOCK is enabled, the following functions will be disable:
Enter or modify the Channel frequency Enter or modify the Tone information Enter or modify the Trunking ID. ( this can be modified through the menu screen.) I-Call - Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one unit (such as a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within her group (all the patrol vehicles on the east side of town, for example). The units within this group comprise what is typically known as a talkgroup. There are some communications which are direct unit-to-unit conversations where one individual converses with another individual. The call is initiated by a radio and is directed to another single radio. Within the system, no one outside of these two users hears the conversation. This call is referred to as I-Call. Key Beep - This is another term for the tone you hear as a keypad acknowledgement beep. The default setting is on. If you have turned the Key Beep off, you now have a silent keypad. You will not hear a tone each time you press a key. PC Control - This term is associated with the ability to program frequencies and other useful information via a computer by means of the Uniden national database or third party software. You can change the transfer speed on the scanner needed to be compatible with your PC. (See page 55) Scan List - When you designate a bank to be a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply list of your favourite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk bank. These lists are designed to help you organise the trunking system users into categories. Screen mask - Screen Mask reduces the amount of information that appears on the display. Alpha tags that you have set for a channel along with a few function icons will appear only on the display. This mode is particularly useful in public safety vehicles where that are already overloaded with information. Screen Mask does not work in Search mode. Status Bit - This term refers to Motorola Type II systems. There is a method by which special types of communications utilise unique talk group numbers. For example, if all emergency calls are set to occur on a specific talk group number then you will not miss the transmission even if you have not programmed all the talk group numbers. With the Status Bit on and you have programmed the unique number, then you dont have to worry what the rest of the groups numbers are. The topic of interest will be picked up. Talkgroup - A group of users within a trunked system that communicate with one another.

User Defined Fleet Maps

Type I Programming Information When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the IDs is divided into 8 equal sized blocks, numbered 07. When you program your scanner to track a Type I system, you must select a size code for each of these blocks. When you have assigned a size code to all 8 blocks, you'll have defined the Fleet Map for the system you're tracking. Each size code determines the number of Fleets, Subfleets, and IDs each block will have. For example, a size code of 4 has one Fleet, which is divided into 16 separate Subfleets, and it has a total of 512 individual IDs. When a block is assigned a size code, the Fleet or Fleets created within the block are assigned a Type I ID. The way these IDs display on your scanner depend on the block number and the blocks size code. When a Type I ID displays, the left most digit represents the block which contains the ID. The next two or three digits identify which Fleet is active, and the last digit(s) identifies the Subfleet.

4 05-12

Block (1 digit) Subfleet (1 or 2 digits) Which Fleet within the Block (2 or 3 digits)
The details concerning how the size codes are selected by a Type I System designer are highly dependent on the specific needs of the systems users. Some organisations may want many subfleets with only a few radios each, while another organisation may want only a few subfleets with many radios each. Your task is to program your fleet map with the same size code assignments as the trunked system. If you do this accurately, you'll track all the FleetSubfleet combinations used by the system. In other words, you'll hear complete communications while monitoring a trunked system. If you don't already know the size codes used, you'll have to guess at them. But since you don't have to figure out all the blocks at once, this isn't as hard as it seems. Select a size code for a block, and then press SCAN. Now listen to the communications. If you decide you are receiving most of the replies to the conversations with IDs assigned to the block you just programmed, then you've probably selected the right size code and can work on the next block of the map. Finally, for most public safety systems there are some size codes which are more common. SIZE CODE 3 and SIZE CODE 4 are probably the most common, followed by SIZE CODE 10, SIZE CODE 11, and SIZE CODE 12.

Fleet Map Size Codes Size 14 Fleets Subfleets IDs Blocks Used + 4 8
Reserves block for Type II IDs 2048 4096
Size Code Restrictions If you select size code 12, 13, or 14, there are some restrictions as to which blocks can be used for these codes. SIZE CODE 12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4, or 6. SIZE CODE 13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4. SIZE CODE 14 can only be assigned to Block 0. Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will be prompted for the next available block when programming a Fleet Map. For example, if you assign Block 0 as an SIZE CODE 12, you will be prompted for Block 2, the next block available, instead of Block 1.

Die nachfolgenden Informationen sind NUR fr den qualifizierten Service / Fachhandel gedacht! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The remark of the S-Indicator (a meter is something else !). The >S-indication is indeed not ok at all. First of all only 6 bars is >always to limited of coarse. > >However the receiver has potentially very good Rssi indicators with >the used IC's ! > >But the engineers did not use the full potential of them. >It is however possible to have a far better range with a very simple >modification. (indicator.not a meter!) > >This modification is: > >First turn both trimmers for NFM and WFM fully open. (take attention >very small! take care!) > >And then solder 2 resistors to the testpoints NFM and BFM to ground. > >Than you will have a normal dynamic range.a normal indicator.not >a meter. And Yes, the S-indication of NFM and BFM signals will read >different.but as "indicators" they at least will work properly and >meaningfull. (especially with a following analog metering-system). >Every single db in the whole range gives a meterchange ! > >This should also be true with the "SG" report via RS232. (As seen >with a short test of the software CC780). I am not at all a soft >specialist.however with some calibrationmaps of these data and a >soft-developper (not me), you can imagine to have the potential of >having a really beautifull and meaningfull good ranging indicator >(in - dbm), nearly a real "Meter" seams possible !
