(For a listing of frequency ranges and bands, see Technical Specifications on page 38.) When you press SCAN, the BC278CLT scans each programmed frequency for activity (skipping channels that are locked out) at the rate of up to 25 channels per second. As the unit scans, the word SCAN moves across the display and the bank number flashes. When the scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes. If you are in the delay mode, the scanner stays on the channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If no responding transmission is detected, the scanning cycle resumes. 7
