What is Scanning? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed on the page 5) do not transmit continuously. The BCT7 scans programmed channels at the rate of nearly 100 channels per second 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. While the BCT7 scans channels, it is in Scan mode. When you stop scanning with H, it is in Manual mode. What is Searching? The BCT7 can search 12 bands to find active frequencies. This gives you the opportunity to find new frequencies that have not been programmed. While the BCT7 searches for active frequencies, it is in Search mode. When you stop the search with H, it is in Search Hold mode. Where to Get More Information Because your BCT7 is fully pre-programmed, you do not need to enter frequencies into the radio. However, should you desire to enter specific frequencies which have not been factory pre-programmed, the BCT7 provides this capability. For publications which list frequencies around the United States, call the enclosed Mr. Scanner 800 number. The Bearcat Radio Club and other similar hobby clubs have publications, information on computer bulletin boards, and even contests for the radio enthusiast. Also, your local library has more information. 3
