TS Thanks for the offer. I got it to work using the ARC Clone software and the files the other helpful members sent me. I am enjoying my BCT now. If that does not work for this model, then I would like to know. Asssuming that it does, I told him to save all his manually programmed systems in ARC because the reboot would wipe them out.
Joined Apr 7, Messages 3. This is my 1st post here and I wan info ted to say thanks for the and restore file.. I accidentally wiped out my factory program about 2 years ago and never could figure out how to get everything back!
Wouldn't you know it! With the setting set to off, the scanner remains on the channel until the transmission stops. The default setting is ID search. For Custom rebanded Motorola Systems Requires firmware 2.
Custom band plans require that you enter both a lower and an upper base frequency value. The l ower base frequency or base is always the base frequency as provided in the Radio Reference Database. If you don't have Excel you can download and install a viewer here. Press ' Menu ' to return and repeat for each band plan as needed. Press ' Menu ' to return.
Lower Base Freq. Upper Base Freq. A band plan is required so the scanner can correctly determine the voice channel frequencies. You can set up to 3 different band plans.
Repeat for each band plan. You must program a system fleet map in order for the scanner to properly track and display talk group ID's. Since it is rather lengthy, I will just give you the link. Set Status Bit sets how your scanner works with status bits also called S-bits , letting you control how the scanner interprets and displays Motorola talkgroup IDs. The default setting is ignore. Ignore - the scanner rounds all received ID's down to the next interval of Yes - the scanner treats all received ID's as unique ID's.
Sets how the scanner handles the transmission end code sent by most Motorola systems. The default setting is Yes. Yes - the scanner immediately returns to the control channel when it detects the end code. Ignore - the scanner does not return to the control channel until the carrier drops.
I-calls or private calls are transmissions made from one radio user to another radio user and not heard by everyone else in the trunking system. Off - the scanner ignores I-call IDs. On - the scanner tracks I-call IDs. Only - the scanner tracks only I-call IDs and ignores other radio traffic on the system.
Ignore - the scanner will alert you by beeping 3 times. Alert - the scanner will not alert. The scanner will then find but will not program any active voice channels and any new voice channels.
Tip: Enter all of the frequencies and set the system for C-Ch Only in case the control channels change. Off - you must enter all voice and control channel frequencies. On - you only need to enter control channel frequencies. They can be displayed in two formats: AFS and Decimal. The default setting is AFS. At ' Unlock? Press Scan twice to resume scanning. Creating Groups.
Once you have your Systems Built and your Systems Options configured you can create your groups to store channels. Press Menu and scroll to ' New Group ' to create more groups. Continue at ' Edit Name ' below.
Then see Programming Channels to program frequencies or IDs. Edit Name. Edit Channel. Delete Group. Edit Name allows you to change the name of a group. Press Scan to exit or Menu to return.
Set Quick Key sets the quick key for the group. Edit Channel Edits channel options. See Programming Channels. Delete Group deletes a group.
Set Lockout locks or unlocks a group even with its quick key enabled. Once you have your Systems Built , Systems Options configured, and Groups Created you can finally program your channels.
At ' Quick Freq Save? Note: If the frequency is already stored in the group, ' Frequency Exists Accept? Press No. The scanner will save the frequency in a created group called ' Qck Save Grp ' in a created system called ' Qck Save Cnv Sys ' with no quick keys assigned and you will be at the ' Edit Channel ' menu to complete the settings for the new channel. Note: If the frequency is already stored in the group, ' Frequency Exists' Accept? After storing the frequency, you will be at the ' Edit Channel ' menu to complete the settings for the new channel.
Then see Edit Channel Options to customize the channel s. The scanner stores the ID into a created channel group called ' Qck Save Grp ' with no quick key assigned and you will be at the 'Edit Channel' menu to complete the settings for the new channel.
After storing the ID, you will be at the 'Edit Channel' menu to complete the settings for the new channel. To Program a New Channel , press Menu. Note: If you omit the subfleet still need the hyphen , the scanner treats this field as a wildcard will treat the subfleet as 1 ID. Note: If you omit the user ID still need the hyphen , the scanner treats this field as a wildcard will treat the home repeater as 1 ID.
Press Menu to return to ' Select Channel '. Program the rest of the channels the same way. Or, while scanning , Press Hold to hold on any channel. Edit Channel Name. Set Attenuator Conventional only. Set Priority Conventional only. Set Step Conventional only. Set Alert. Deleting Channels. Set Modulation Conventional only. The channel name appears on the second line of the display when the scanner stops on a channel. If you do not enter a channel name, the scanner displays the frequency for conventional systems or the talk group ID or I-call ID for trunked systems when it stops on a channel.
Set Priority conventional channel only. This setting controls whether the scanner treats the channel as a priority channel while scanning. There doesn't seem to be a limit to how many channels you can set but remember, all the priority channels are checked every 2 seconds. P appears at the end of the default not the tagged name in the display to denote the channel is a priority channel. This setting controls whether the scanner will alert you with 3 beeps when the channel becomes active.
The scanner can copy a channel and all its settings into a copy buffer to paste into the same system in a different group or a group in another system. Note : You can only copy and paste from like systems -conventional to conventional or trunking to trunking. Scroll to the desired DCS code you want present with the signal. Set Modulation conventional channel only.
This setting controls the demodulation receive mode method used for the channel. Set Attenuator conventional channel only. This setting controls whether the scanner attenuates signals on this channel by about 18 dB.
Set Step conventional channel only. This setting selects the frequency step used for setting the channel. The default setting is auto. See Default Step Sizes. Set Lockout The default setting is unlock. To use the priority feature, you must first set your conventional priority channels. See Channel Priority. Off - scans normally with no priority. On - while scanning a system, the scanner interrupts every 2 seconds and checks the priority channels in each system.
Priority channels in systems with lower 'system quick keys' or 'car quick key' starting with 1 have highest priority. Pri appears in the display when you select this mode. Plus On - the scanner only scans the priority channels. Pri flashes in the display when you select this mode.
Note: The quick keys for the system s and group s containing the priority channel s have to be turned on and groups and systems have to be unlocked or the scanner will display Priority Scan No Channel. With this scanner, you select 'System Quick Keys' to scan that have 'Systems' assigned to them. You can still do that separately if you really want to confuse yourself. See also Understanding Quick Keys. To toggle Weather Alert Priority on or off , in addition to scanning ,.
To turn Close Call on or off , in addition to scanning , press and hold Func then press Hold. If you don't want to edit the channel settings or are done editing the channel, press Scan to return to scanning.
The scanner stores the ID into a created channel group called ' Qck Save Grp ' and you will be at the 'Edit Channel' menu to complete the settings for the new channel see Edit Channel Options. Press and hold Func then 7 rcl. Or , use the Menu to drill down to the system options and lock it out there. See ' Edit System Options '. At ' Select System ' scroll to the system you want to unlock.
Or , use Menu to drill down to the system options and unlock it there. At ' Select Group ' scroll to the group you want to lock or unlock. See ' Edit Group Options '. There are several ways to get to a channel. Some ways are quicker than others. Some ways you have to be quick with those keys, other ways you can take your time pressing them.
Use what works best for you. Or , quickly press Hold to hold on the channel. Or , use Menu to drill down to the channel options and lock it out there. See ' Edit Channel Options '. Or , use Menu to drill down to the channel options and unlock it there. Note: This will also enable all your groups turn the quick keys on. Freq Lockouts. Set Modulation. Repeater Find. Set Attenuator. Set Step. Pager Screen. Max Auto Store. Set Data Skip. Freq Lockouts: allows you to review locked out frequencies or unlock all frequencies for Searching and Close Call search.
If no frequencies are locked out, you will see ' Nothing Locked '. If there are locked out frequencies, you will see the first locked out frequency and ' Unlock? Pressing No will bring you to the next locked out frequency.
The default setting is Off. Pager Screen: This setting determines whether the scanner automatically ignores transmissions found during Searching and Close Call operation that are on common paging system frequencies.
The default setting is On. Even with the feature on, you might still hear some pagers. Repeater Find: This feature sets whether the scanner tries to tune to a repeater output frequency when it detects a transmission on a repeater input frequency in Search and Close Call modes.
Since you can normally only hear one side of a conversation when you listen to an input frequency transmission, turning this feature on can let you hear both sides of the conversation on the output frequency. If the scanner detects the transmission on the output frequency, it beeps and ' Repeater Find ' appears, and it remains on the output frequency until transmissions end. If it does not detect a transmission on the output frequency, it remains on the original frequency. If you scroll to Off , the scanner doesn't try to find the repeater frequency.
When the scanner reaches the maximum number of hits you set, it stops the auto-store operation. Turn on this setting if you are near other strong signal sources. Attenuation sometimes helps to reduce interference and desensitization that strong signals create.
Note : If you are trying to test the Close Call feature with a nearby transmitter and you do not talk into the transmitter, the scanner will detect this as data and will skip the frequency when Data Skip is on.
Set Delay Time: This setting determines how long the scanner waits after a transmission ends before resuming Quick Search and Close Call Search operations. Set Step: This setting selects the frequency step used for Quick Search. The default setting is Auto. See also Default Step Sizes. Scroll to Auto , 5 , 6. Search For Please review those first.
Note: The items below in Blue do not follow the radio's menu order because IMHO they should be in the following order to properly setup and use the Search features.
Edit a Custom Search. The Service Search lets you quickly select and search the scanner's preprogrammed frequencies. At ' Quick Search? Or , Press Menu.
Scroll to ' Search For Then see Searching. Editing a Custom Search. You can edit the 10 custom search ranges. The default custom search range names appear as Custom 1 , Custom 2 , and so on. Press Menu to return and scroll to another custom search and repeat the previous steps or press Scan to exit. The Custom Search lets you search the scanner's 10 programmed frequency ranges. To re-program the ranges see Editing a Custom Search. Lets you search and store frequencies in a custom search range or in a service search range into a conventional system, or new talk group IDs into a trunked system.
To store frequencies or talk group IDs you find during Search and Store, you must first select a system where the frequencies or talk group IDs will be stored. You will not hear any audio in this mode. See Max Auto Store first to set the maximum number of hits the scanner will store. If you select custom search, all enabled custom search ranges will be searched for frequencies.
Start a custom search and disable search ranges you don't want searched first. See Custom Search. Notes: The quick key for the system must be turned on if one is assigned to the system and not locked out to select the system to store frequencies in otherwise you will see ' System Locked '. If no systems are programmed ' No System Stored ' appears. When you select a service search or custom search range s , the scanner looks for active frequencies within the range s and ' Search and Store ' appears on the display's lower line and the system name and search range name s appear on the display's upper line.
When the scanner finds an active transmission, it checks to see if the frequency has already been stored in the system ' Memory Check ' in the display.
If the frequency has already been stored, the scanner continues to search. If the frequency has not been stored, it stores the frequency into a created group named ' Found Channels ', then resumes searching. See Max Auto Store. Tip: Before you start a Search and Store, run the custom search or service search first to lock out the birdies, data, noise, etc.
This will prevent the scanner from stopping on them and doing a memory check each time it passes. Notes: The quick key for the system must be turned on if one is assigned to the system and not locked out to select the system to store IDs in otherwise you will see ' System Locked '.
If no systems are programmed, ' No System Stored ' appears. When the scanner finds an active transmission, it checks to see if the ID has already been stored in the system ' Memory Check ' in the display. If the ID has already been stored, the scanner continues to search.
If the ID has not been stored, it stores the ID into a created group named ' Found Channels ', then resumes searching. Quick Search lets you search from the currently-tuned frequency if you are scanning a conventional system or enter a frequency to start searching from.
To start searching at a specific frequency while scanning , press Hold to hold on any channel or frequency. Enter the new frequency you wish to start at then press Hold to set the new starting frequency. Press Hold again to release hold mode and start searching.
To toggle search bands on or off custom search , press the number key of the search band. To change search direction or continue searching , turn the scroll control back or forward.
Discontinued Scanners. The BCT uses a dynamically allocated memory system, allowing the user to program up to channels typical into any configuration desired. While traditional scanners have been limited to only ten banks, the BCT groups channels into systems, allowing for or more systems to be programmed and scanned simultaneously.
