The FCC Wants You to Know

This scanner has been tested and found to comply

The FCC Wants You to Know

with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part

15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This scanner

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications.

There is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this scanner does cause

harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the

scanner on and off, you are encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the scanner and

the receiver

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) This device may not cause harmful interference,

and 2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Scanning Legally

Your scanner covers frequencies used by many

different groups, including police and fire departments,

ambulance services, government agencies, private

companies, amateur radio services, military operations,

pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph)

service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every

transmission your scanner can receive. However, there

are some transmissions that you should never

intentionally listen to. These include:

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or

other private means of telephone signal

transmission)

• Pager transmissions

• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions

According to the Electronic Communications Privacy

Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible

imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or

divulging the contents of such a conversation unless

you have the consent of a party to the conversation

(unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner

has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular

telephone transmissions and the decoding of

scrambled transmissions. This is done to comply with

the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured

so they are not easy to modify to pick up these

transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to

make any modifications that could allow it to pick up

transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or

tampering with your scanner’s internal components or

using it in a way other than as described in this manual

could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC

authorization to operate it.

In some areas, mobile and/or portable use of this

scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the

laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas (and a

bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of

public safety officials by traveling to the scene of an

incident without authorization.

A license is required to use this product in Canada.

scanning works. You 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

BR330T.

Understanding the Scanner’s

Memory

Your scanner’s memory is organized in an architecture

called Dynamic Allocated Channel memory. This type

of memory is organized differently and more efficiently

than the bank/channel architecture used by traditional

scanners. Dynamic Allocated design matches how

radio systems actually work much more closely, making

it easier to program and use your scanner and deter-

mine how much memory you have used and how much

you have left.

Instead of being organized into separate banks and

channels, your scanner’s memory is contained in a

pool. You simply use as much memory as you need in

the pool to store as many frequencies, talk group ID’s,

and alpha tags as you need. No memory space is

wasted, and you can tell at a glance how much

memory you have used and how much remains.

With a traditional scanner, when you program it to

track a trunked system, you must first program the

frequencies. Since you can only program one trunking

system per bank in a traditional scanner, if there were

(for example) 30 frequencies, the remaining channels

in the bank are not used and therefore wasted. Also,

since some trunked systems might have hundreds of

talk groups, you would have had to enter those types

of systems into multiple banks in order to monitor and

track all the ID’s.

What is Scanning?

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-

way communications do not transmit continuously.

Your BR330T 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 BR330T can search each of its bands and up to

10 bands together to find 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 frequency, it stops on that

frequency as long as the transmission lasts. If you

think the frequency is interesting, you can program it

into the scanner’s memory. If not, you can continue to

search.

What is CTCSS/DCS?

Your scanner can monitor systems using a Continuous

Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital

Coded Squelch (DCS) system, which allow squelch to

open only when the tone you have programmed with a

specific frequency is received along with a

transmission.

CTCSS and DCS are subaudible tone signaling

systems sometimes referred to as PL or DPL

(Motorola’s trademarked terms for Private Line and

Digital Private Line respectively). CTCSS and DCS

are used only for FM signals and are usually

associated with both amateur and commercial two-

way frequencies. These systems make use of a

special subaudible tone that accompanies a

transmitted signal.

CTCSS and DCS are used for many purposes. In

many cases, CTCSS and DCS are used to restrict

access to a commercial repeater, so that only those

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

units which transmit the correct tone along with their

signal can “talk” to the repeater.

CTCSS and DCS are also used in areas that receive

interference where there are several stations with

output frequencies close to each other. When this

occurs, you might hear multiple communications on

the same frequency. The stations might even interfere

with each other to the point where it is impossible to

clearly receive any of the stations. A scanner

equipped with CTCSS and DCS (like your scanner)

can code each received frequency with a specific

CTCSS or DCS frequency. Then, when you receive

multiple signals, you only hear the transmission with

the CTCSS or DCS tone you programmed. If you do

not receive the correct tone with a signal, the

scanner’s squelch remains closed and you hear

nothing.

You can search for the following CTCSS frequencies

and DCS codes.

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 isn’t, 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

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 user’s 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.

What is Trunk Tracking?

Your BR330T is designed to track the following types

of trunking systems.

• Motorola Type I, Type II, Type IIi hybrid,

SMARTNET, and PRIVACYPLUS analog trunking

systems, which are extensively used in 800 MHz

communication systems.

• LTR trunking systems

• EDACS SCAT trunking systems

• EDACS trunking systems

When tracking these types of systems, you might want

to remember that your scanner can track more than

one trunking system at a time and scan conventional

and trunked systems at the same time.

Conventional scanning is a simple concept. You enter

a frequency used by someone you want to monitor into

your scanner’s memory. For example, the police in your

area might transmit 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.

However, as the demand for public communications

has increased, many public radio users do not have

enough frequencies to meet their needs, creating a

serious problem. Trunking radio systems help solve

this problem.

Trunked Scanning

While conventional scanning worked great while there

were only a few groups wanting to use the

frequencies, with the advent of smaller, lower-cost

radios more and more agencies and businesses

wanted to take advantage of the utility of 2-way radio.

As a result, the bands that were used most became

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

full, so new users were not able to take advantage of

the technology as quickly as they wanted.

Trunking solved this frequency shortage by allowing

multiple groups to use the same set of frequencies in a

very efficient way. While each type of trunking system

operates a little differently (see the next few sections),

they all work on the same basic premise: even in a

system with a lot of users, only a few users are ever

transmitting at any one time.

Instead of being assigned a frequency, as with

conventional systems, each group is assigned a talk

group ID. A central computer controls the frequency

each group operates on...and this frequency selection

is made each time a user transmits. So, while on a

conventional system queries, replies, and follow-ups

are all on a single frequency, they could each be on

completely different frequencies on a trunked system.

This semi-random frequency assignment made

monitoring such a system impossible prior to Uniden’s

invention of the TrunkTracker scanner.

Not only does your BR330T scan channels like a

conventional scanner, it actually follows the users of a

trunked radio system. Once you know a talk group’s

ID, you won’t miss any of the action.

If you are a new scanner enthusiast, you might want to

read the first part of this manual and use your scanner

in conventional mode before you begin trunk tracking.

Understanding scanning fundamentals and

terminology will make trunk tracking much easier. If

you are already an experienced scanner operator, you

might want to go to “Programming Motorola Systems”

on Page 69, “Programming EDACS Systems” on

Page 73, or “Programming LTR Systems” on Page 76

now.

Types of Trunking Systems

Trunking systems divide a few frequencies among

many different users, but the way that each system

does this is slightly different. This section describes

some of the technical data behind Motorola, EDACS,

and LTR trunked radio systems.

Motorola Trunking

While there are different types of Motorola trunking

systems, they all use the same basic trunking method.

The system consists of one control channel (or as

many as 4 per system but only one is active at any

one time), plus one or more voice channels (typically

10, 20, or 28 total channels). When a user presses

Push To Talk (PTT) to transmit, their radio first sends

their talk group information to the control channel.

The computer then assigns that talk group to a specific

voice channel and transmits that data over the control

channel. All radios in that talk group switch over to the

assigned voice channel and the user can begin speak-

ing. This all typically takes place in about a sec-

ond...the person transmitting hears a beep from their

radio when the channel is assigned and then it is OK

to start talking.

The systems in use are:

Motorola Type I – the radios send the radio ID, the

fleet and subfleet talk group ID to the control channel

each time they transmit. To program a Type I system,

you need to know the system’s fleet map. The most

common fleet maps are included in “Preset Map 1 Pre-

set Map 2” on Page 133. You can also find fleet map

resources on the web.

Motorola Type II – the radios only send the radio ID

and radio channel code to the control channel. The

central computer keeps a database of radio ID’s and

which talk group is assigned to which channel code for

each radio, so with this system the user’s radio sends

only about ¹/3 the data as a Type I system with each

transmission. Type II systems do not use Fleet-

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

subfleet talk groups; instead they use a 5-digit ID for

each talk group.

Type IIi Hybrid — these systems support a mix of both

Type I and Type II users. Like Type I systems, you

must know the system’s fleet map to ensure proper

tracking.

EDACS Trunking

EDACS trunking works in much the same way as

Motorola trunking with a couple of major differences.

In an EDACS system, each frequency used by the

system is assigned a Logical Channel Number (LCN)

so that less data needs to be transmitted by the

control channel. Also, talk groups are assigned in an

Agency-Fleet-Subfleet (AFS) hierarchy. Also, there is

one variation of EDACS called SCAT that your

BR330T can monitor.

Logical Channel Numbers – each frequency used by

the system is assigned an LCN. This information is

programmed into each user radio. When a user

presses PTT, their radio sends their AFS information

to the control channel. The computer then assigns that

talk group to a channel and sends the LCN so that all

other radios in that talk group will switch to the correct

channel. To program an EDACS system in your

scanner, you will need to know both the frequencies

used by the system and the LCN for each frequency.

Agency-Fleet-Subfleet – talk group ID’s for EDACS

systems are assigned in a way that makes it easy to

see at a glance the affiliation of the user. Each radio is

assigned a 2-digit agency identifier from 00 – 15.

For example, 01 might be used by the police, 02 by

the ambulance service, 03 by the fire department, and

so on. Each agency is then subdivided up to 16 times

to provide fleet identification, and then 8 more times to

identify subfleets.

For example, the complete AFS for the Police

Department West District’s dispatch channel might be

Understanding Scanning

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

01-062. 01 identifies the agency as the police

department, 06 identifies the fleet as the West district,

and 2 identifies the subfleet as the dispatch channel.

While these assignments are somewhat arbitrary and

vary from system to system, there are many resources

on the web for finding the assignments for most

systems. Because of the logical hierarchy of the AFS

system, your BR330T lets you assign wildcard ID’s

that let you, for example, use only one ID memory to

identify all units in either an agency or a fleet.

EDACS SCAT – EDACS SCAT (Single Channel

Autonomous Trunking) systems operate on a single

channel and alternate control data with analog voice

traffic. While your BR330T cannot track ID’s in this

system, it can eliminate the control data so that all you

hear is the voice transmissions when you monitor this

type of system.

LTR Trunking

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 control information as digital subaudible

data that accompanies each transmission, so there is

no separate control channel. Users on an LTR system

are assigned to specific talk groups, 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 talk group ID on the display. In the ID scan

mode, the scanner only stops on the transmission if

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

the LTR data matches a talk group ID that you have

stored in the talk group ID list and have not locked out.

LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each

radio has a unique user ID.

I-Call (Motorola/EDACS)

I-calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not

heard by other system users. Your BR330T can

receive I-call transmissions. See “Setting I-Call

(Motorola and EDACS Systems Only)” on Page 85 for

more information about monitoring I-call transmissions.

new scanner:

• If your scanner receives interference or electrical

noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from

the source.

• To improve the scanner’s reception, use an

optional external antenna designed for multi-band

coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna

at a local electronics store). If the optional antenna

has no cable, use 50-75 Ω 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 (32 Ω) 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 three alkaline or

rechargeable AA batteries.

Before installing batteries, set the switch in the battery

compartment to match the type of batteries you will

use. Select ALKALINE for non-rechargeable battery

types and Ni-MH for rechargeable battery types. See

also “Using Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 33 when

you use rechargeable batteries.

1. Remove the battery cover and set the battery

switch.

symbols (+ -).

WARNING!

Set ALKALINE/Ni-MH to Ni-MH for use only with

rechargeable batteries. Never attempt to recharge

non-rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable

batteries can get hot and can even burst if you try to

recharge them.

3.Replace the cover.

When

flashes and the scanner beeps every 15

seconds, replace the batteries.

Using Rechargeable Batteries

You can also use three rechargeable batteries to power

your scanner. Before you use rechargeable batteries,

you must charge them. The scanner has a built-in

circuit that lets you recharge batteries while they are in

the scanner. To charge the batteries, set ALKALINE/

Ni-MH inside the battery compartment to NI-MH,

install the batteries in the scanner, and connect the

supplied AC adapter to the scanner's DC 6V jack (see

“Using AC Power” on Page 34).

WARNING!

Do not connect the AC adapter to the scanner if

non-rechargeable batteries (such as alkaline

batteries) are installed in the scanner and

ALKALINE/Ni-MH is set to NI-MH, or if you are

unsure of the switch's position. Non-rechargeable

batteries can get hot and can even burst if you try

to recharge them. Before you use rechargeable

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.

Battery Errorappears. If the installed batteries are

Ni-MH batteries but ALKALINE/Ni-MH is set to

ALKALINE, Charge Offappears and the scanner

does not charge the batteries.

Removing the Display Sticker

Before you use the scanner, remove the protective

plastic sticker over the display.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner

using the supplied 6V,

800 mA AC adapter.

To use the scanner on AC

power, plug the adapter into

6V 800 mA on the right side

of the scanner, then plug the

AC adapter into a standard AC

outlet.

If rechargeable batteries are installed and ALKALINE/

Ni-MH is set to NI-MH, the adapter powers the scanner

and recharges the installed batteries at the same time.

WARNING!

To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge

them in an area where the temperature is above

113°F (45°C) or below 32°F (0°C).

Connecting the Antenna

To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the

connector on the top of your scanner, simply screw it

onto the scanner's SMA connector.

Connecting an Optional Antenna

The scanner's SMA connector makes it easy to

connect a variety of optional antennas, including an

external mobile antenna or outdoor base station

antenna.

Note: Always use 50- or 75-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8,

coaxial cable and the supplied BNC/SMA adapter to

connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50

feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric

coaxial cable. Cable loss increases with higher frequency.

Connecting an Earphone/Headphone

For private listening, you can plug a ¹/8-inch (3.5 mm)

mini-plug earphone or headphones (not supplied) into

the headphone jack on top of your scanner. This

automatically disconnects the internal speaker.

See “Earphone Warning” at the front of the manual for

important information about using an earphone/

headphone.

Connecting an Extension Speaker

In a noisy area, an optional amplified extension

speaker, positioned in the right place, might provide

more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's

¹/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug into your scanner's jack.

WARNING!

Never connect anything other than an earphone or

the recommended amplified extension speaker to

the scanner’s headphone jack. This might damage

the scanner.

Scanning Systems

To begin scanning programmed systems, press Scan.

The BR330T scans all unlocked systems in all

activated quick-key groups and any searches

unlocked for search and scan.

Notes:

• If no systems are programmed, or all systems are

locked out, an error message appears. Program a

system or select a system to scan.

• When scanning multiple systems, the BR330T

scans systems according to the assigned quick

key. Systems assigned to quick key 1 are scanned

first, then 2, 3, 4, etc. Systems not assigned to a

quick key are scanned last, then unlocked

searches. Within a quick key, systems are

scanned in the order they were assigned.

• Within a system, channels are scanned according

to the assigned channel group, with the same

priority as described above for systems.

• The BR330T scans a system for the duration you

set using the System Hold Time option (see “Set-

ting the System Hold Time” on Page 82). For

trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next

system after the hold time expires, the current

transmission ends, and the channel delay expires.

Conventional systems operate similarly, but all

unlocked channels are scanned at least one time

regardless of the hold time setting.

• Each search range is searched for the amount of

time you set using the “Set Hold Time” option. See

“Setting the System Hold Time” on Page 82 for

more information.

Preprogrammed System Tips

All systems preprogrammed into the scanner are

assigned to a Quick Key. See “Preprogrammed Sys-

tems” on Page 148 for a list of preprogrammed

systems and their Quick Key assignments.

Basic Operation

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Notes:

• The systems preprogrammed into the scanner are

located primarily in major metropolitan areas.

• You might hear transmissions on frequencies

assigned to very distant stations. This will happen

if a local system also uses the same frequency.

You can scan the preprogrammed systems more

efficiently by preventing the BR330T from trying to

scan systems that are not in your area. To do this,

refer to the quick key assignments listed in

“Preprogrammed Systems” on Page 148, and enter

the quick key for each distant system to turn them off.

To stop scanning a local preprogrammed system, you

can:

• Lock out the system (see “Locking/Unlocking Sys-

tems” on Page 45)

• Reassign the system to another quick key so you

can easily enable/disable it independently of other

systems (see “Editing the System Quick Key” on

Page 81)

• Delete the system (see “Deleting Systems” on

Page 88)

Important! You cannot restore preprogrammed

systems if you delete them.

Selecting Systems to Scan

To select systems to scan, press Scan then press the

quick key assigned to the system or systems you want

to scan. For quick keys 0-9, press the quick key’s

number. For quick keys 10-99, press then press the

quick key’s 2-digit number. To stop scanning the

system(s), press (if the quick key is a 2-digit quick

key) then the number button or buttons again.

The Sx: (system) indicators on the display show the

systems that are currently selected.

On-Air Cloning

You can clone (copy) data from a PC to a BR330T

scanner. This is useful if you want to quickly program

20 or more BR330T scanners at the same time.

Note: On-air cloning is practical if you are

programming more than 10 scanners at the same

time. Otherwise, we recommend you use wired

programming.

Programming Radio Systems

Your BR330T comes preprogrammed with 76 analog

Programming Radio Systems

systems from the most populous areas in the US.

However, to get the most enjoyment from your scan-

ner (especially if you do not live near one of these

counties), you must customize the programming for

your area.

To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate

to the system setting you want to change. This section

assumes you are programming a new system.

Programming radio systems is completed in two major

steps. Don't skip either step!

1. Plan the system.

2. Program the system into your scanner according

to the plan you prepared in Step 1.

To make planning easier, planning worksheets are

included in the back of this manual for each system

type. Copy the worksheets (or download this manual

from the Uniden America Corporation website and

print extra sheets), then use them to plan out how you

will program the scanner.

Important! Before you start programming your

scanner, make sure the batteries are fresh or fully

charged. If the scanner loses power while you

program it, its memory might be corrupted which will

require you to reinitialize it (see “Initializing the Scan-

ner’s Memory” on Page 56). All information

programmed in the scanner, including

preprogrammed systems, might be lost.

General Notes

• You can store up to 400 systems.

• Trunking systems can have up to 200 channels

each. The number of conventional system

channels you can have is limited only by the

amount of scanner memory remaining.

• You can store up to 20 channel groups per system.

• Total channels are limited to 2,500.

lets you hear a nearby strong radio transmission. You

can set the scanner so the Close Call feature works "in

the background" while you are scanning other

frequencies, turn off normal scanning while the Close

Call feature is working, or turn off the Close Call

feature and use the scanner normally. You can set the

then

appears on the display

and normal operation is briefly interrupted about every

2 seconds.

Notes:

• The Close Call feature 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. Several

factors affect Close Call performance, however.

Performance is increased with higher transmit

power, receive antenna tuned to the target band,

and a low background RF level. Other than the

antenna, you have no control over these factors,

but they explain why performance might vary by

both location and time.

• The Close Call feature cannot detect satellite

dishes or any transmitter with a frequency above

or below the frequency ranges listed under the

Set CC Bands: option on Page 110.

• The Close Call feature works better with some

types of transmissions than others. It might not

correctly display frequency information for trans-

mitters using a highly directional antenna (such as

an amateur radio beam antenna) or if there are

many transmitters operating at the same time in

the same area.

the source of the noise. If possible, a higher

elevation might provide better reception.

• Also try changing the height or angle of the

antenna.

Cleaning

• Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.

• Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild

detergent.

• To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive

cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD

window.

• Do not use excessive amounts of water.

Repairs

Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no

user serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden Customer

Service Center or take it to a qualified repair

technician.

Birdies

All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals).

If your scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound

is heard, it might be receiving a birdie. Birdies are

User Defined Fleet Maps

Type I Programming Information

When a Type I system is designed, the address

information for all the ID’s is divided into 8 equal sized

blocks, numbered 0–7. 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 are tracking.

Each size code determines the number of fleets,

subfleets, and ID’s each block will have. For example,

a size code of S-4 has one fleet, which is divided into

16 separate subfleets, and it has a total of 512

individual ID’s.

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 ID’s display on your scanner

depend on the block number and the block’s size

code. When a Type I ID appears, the leftmost digit

represents the block which contains the ID.

The next 2-3 digits identify which fleet is active, and

the last digit(s) identifies the subfleet.

The details concerning how the size codes are

selected by a Type I System designer are highly

dependent on the specific needs of the system’s

users. Some organizations might want many subfleets

with only a few radios each, while another

organization might 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 Fleet-Subfleet 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

Appendix

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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 ID’s 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. S-3 and S-4 are

probably the most common, followed by S-10, S-11,

and S-12.

Size Code Restrictions

If you select size code S-12, S-13, or S-14, there are

some restrictions as to which blocks can be used for

these codes.

S-12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4, or 6.

S-13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4.

S-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 S-12, you will be prompted for b2, the

next block available, instead of b1. And if you assign

Block 0 as an S-14, you would not see another prompt

because it uses all available blocks.

Getting your scanner programmed and scanning takes

a few steps. This help guides you through these steps

that will make it easier for you to start scanning.

1. Collect information about the system(s) you want

to monitor.

Do you want to listen to your local police and

fire departments? How about the highway

patrol, ambulance service, and aircraft? You

might even want to listen to your local utility

company as they track down a break in electri-

cal service in your area.

Make a list of the agencies you want to listen to,

then look up the frequencies and systems used

by those agencies. The Internet is a great

source for current frequencies and information

about scanning. Here are a few useful sites:

• http://www.scannermaster.com/ - frequency

resources and home of Police Call.

You can also call them at 1 800 SCANNER

(hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern

Time Monday through Friday.)

• http://www.radioreference.com/ - the Internet's

premier source for user-supported radio system

information.

• http://www.bearcat1.com/ - frequency information

from National Communications.

• http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/reports/index.cfm -

conventional frequency information on file with the

US Government

Tips:

• Scanners are designed to monitor complex radio

systems. That means that programming your

scanner might seem like a daunting task at first.

Be patient if you don't get it right the first time. You

can also seek out help locally for the systems you

want to scan by visiting the forums section of

http://www.radioreference.com/forums.

• Before you start to program your scanner, decide

how you want to organize the frequencies you

want to scan. For example, some areas are best

organized by geographic location (east, north,

south, west, central, etc), while others are best

organized by agency (police, sheriff, ambulance,

fire, etc.). You might even find it easier to organize

a mixture of frequencies (north, southeast, and

west for police but fire all in one group for exam-

ple).

2. Organize the system information using these sys-

tem worksheets included in this appendix.

• Use “” on Page 143 to organize info about conven-

tional frequencies.

• Use “Motorola system Worksheet" on Page 144 to

organize information about Motorola frequencies.

• Use "LTR/EDACS System Worksheet" on Page

146 to organize information about LTR and

EDACS frequencies.

3. Follow the instructions in “Filling Out The Conven-

tional System Worksheet” on Page 139, “Filling

Out The Motorola Worksheet” on Page 139, and

“Filling Out the LTR and EDACS Worksheet” on

Page 141 to program your scanner.

Tips:

• Before you start, make as many copies of the

worksheets as you think you'll need. You can also

go to the download section of

http://www.uniden.com/productsupport.cfm and

download the worksheets there.

• All worksheet instructions assume that you have

completed the critical Step 1 (collecting the system

information). Don't skip this step.

• Use a pencil to fill out the worksheets. This lets

you change information if necessary.

channels covering police, fire, and ambulance

operations in the 25 most populated counties in the

US. The following list details the preprogrammed

information.

By default, all of the preprogrammed systems are

unlocked, and your scanner begins to scan them when

you turn it on. To speed up scanning, you can lock out

systems that are beyond your reception area (typically

no more than 25 miles using the supplied antenna).

Follow these steps to lock out systems.

1. Press and hold

Func

2. While continuing to hold

, rotate the scroll

control to select a system you want to lock out.

Func

3. While continuing to hold

out the system.

, press L/O to lock

4. Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 to lock out additional

systems.

The preprogrammed systems provide a starting point;

you will want to find out more information about your

local radio systems so you can customize the

programming to better suit your listening preferences.

Notes:

• The list is subject to change.

• You might hear transmissions on frequencies

assigned to very distant stations. This will happen

if a local system also uses the same frequency.

Disregard the text tag for these transmissions (e.g.

if you are in California, you aren’t really receiving

Florida transmissions even if the scanner displays

Dade County).

• To free up memory, you can delete systems that

you will not be monitoring. Refer to “Deleting Sys-

tems” on Page 88.
