69Reverse ModeThis 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 pairfrequencies, refer to the table “Reverse List” in the Appendix. If the frequency that you havechosen does not have an offset frequency, the second line will indicate the error and displayNO REVERSE. This feature does not work in the WX Search mode.Mute On/OffTo manually turn on the Mute function, press and hold MUTEfor more than 1 second until theMUTE ON is displayed.You will not hear any audio. This feature does not function in the WXalert mode, because the audio is already muted. To turn it off, press MUTEagain.Record On/OffIt is possible for you to record every one of the 500 channels or every ID that you haveprogrammed. (up to 1000 IDs). Once you have determined the channels or talkgroups thatyou want to record, you must mark them to be recorded. Through the menu system, set theRECORD 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 theTAPE 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 11)Channel Step SelectionYou 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 maywish to set some VHF channels for NFM mode, depending on any adjacent channelinterference problems. Note that WFM is typically only used for broadcast frequencies, suchas TV audio or FM radio.See “STEPS” in Menu Description for details.Receiving Mode SelectionYou 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 ControlThe VFO knob can be used for changing frequencies or changing memory channels (forconventional channels or talkgroup ID Scan Lists).1. The default setting is Channel. The CHANicon appears in the display in this setting. InManual mode, turn the VFO control to the right (to step up through channels) or to theleft (to step down through channels. If you are in Trunk Manual mode, you will stepthrough Scan List memory locations (whether the CHANor the FREQicon is active).2. To change the default setting to Frequency, press the VFO/SELECT control in Manualmode. The icon will change to FREQ. Now turn the VFO to the right to step up throughfrequencies sequentially or to the left to step down through frequencies. To change thestep, you will need to go into the Channel Data Menu and adjust the step for the desiredmemory location.BC780XLT1.qxd  10/08/2000  5:03 PM  Page 69
70Care and MaintenanceGeneral Use• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.• Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss.• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. The display shows 000.0000 in allchannels when there has been a memory loss.• Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry, unless youhave turned off the KEY BEEP in the menu system.Location• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.• If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it or its antenna awayfrom the source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation, may 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 useabrasive 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 theUniden 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 modeand no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generatedsignals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.Press L/Oto lockout the channel, and then press SCANto resume scanning.BC780XLT1.qxd  10/08/2000  5:03 PM  Page 70

74Glossary of TermsGlossary of terms.Alpha tag - This term refers to an alphanumeric text tag that you can enter to describe theindividual frequencies that you have programmed. Rather than having to associate aspecific frequency to the individuals that are using it, you can enter the actual name of thegroup. This will eliminate the need for memorizing the group’s frequency.Attenuator - This scanner comes with a feature to attenuate or reduce the signal strength.The built-in attenuator can be turned on specific frequencies to prevent strong signals fromoverloading the scanner input, possibly damaging the scanner or missing othertransmissions due to the repeated stopping on the stronger signal.Clone - This term identifies the ability to set up a duplicate scanner. This function allows youto clone all the programming information, including frequencies, talkgroups and alpha tagsas well as bank settings and other parameters from one BC780XLT to another.Control Channel - A Control Channel is the frequency within a trunking system that runsthe system. On Control Channels (sometimes called Data Channels) you will hear abuzzsaw sound. For the most part, it is the sound of the system’s central computerdirecting talkgroups to particular voice (working) frequencies within the system.CTCSS - Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System- refers to a system where the radioreceivers are equipped with tone responsive devices which allow audio signals to appearat the audio output, select voice processing such as scrambling or control repeaterfunctions only when a carrier modulated with a specific tone is received. This method maybe used to restrict access to the repeater or receiver, or reduce interference where severalstations with output frequencies in close proximity of each other make it difficult to hear theconversation you are interested in. With CTCSS squelching, you can eliminate thepossibility of hearing unwanted conversations by selecting one of the 38 standardsubaudible tones. You will only hear those transmissions that have been programmed onspecific frequencies with the specific subaudible tone that you have selected.DCS - (Digital Controlled Squelch) refers to a system where the radio receivers areequipped with data burst responsive devices which allow audio signals to appear at theaudio output, select voice processing such as scrambling or control repeater functions onlywhen a carrier modulated with specific data burst is received. This method may be used torestrict access to the repeater or receiver, or reduce interference where several stationswith output frequencies in close proximity of each other make it difficult to hear theconversation you are interested in. With DCS squelching, you can eliminate the possibilityof hearing unwanted conversations by selecting one of the 104 standard data burstsubaudible tones. You will only hear those transmissions that have been programmed onspecific frequencies with the specific subaudible tone that you have selected.bc780xlt glossary.qxd  10/08/2000  4:52 PM  Page 74
75Enter 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.)FIPS codes - For the purpose of broadcasting weather information, the NWS (NationalWeather Service) has divided the United States into regions by state and county (orparish, where applicable) then assigned a 6 digit FIPS code to identify each county orparish. The first digit represents the county subdivision, the next two represents the state,and the last three digits represent the county or parish. Your scanner can receive all SAMEalert signals broadcasted within about a 50-mile radius of where you install it. So if youonly want to hear the counties that are nearest to your area, you can choose specificallythe FIPS code of areas that you want. This lets you avoid hearing warnings that apply toan area within a 50-mile radius but not necessarily in your county or parish.I-Call - Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one unit (suchas a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within her group (all the patrol vehicles onthe east side of town, for example). The units within this group comprise what is typicallyknown as a talkgroup. There are some communications which are direct unit-to-unitconversations where one individual converses with another individual. The call is initiatedby a radio and is directed to another single radio. Within the system, no one outside ofthese 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 silentkeypad. You will not hear a tone each time you press a key.NWR S.A.M.E. Weather Alert - In 1994, the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA) began broadcasting coded signals called FIPS (Federal InformationProcessing System) codes along with the standard weather broadcasts for stations in yourarea. These codes identify an emergency and the specific geographic area (such as yourcounty) affected by the emergency. The scanner was developed with SAME (Specific AreaMessaging Encoding) technology. This allows you scanner to receive, interpret, anddisplay the information about the codes so you can determine if the emergency mightaffect you area.Each FIPS code identifies a specific geographic area ( defined by theNational Weather Service) so your scanner sounds an alert only when a weatheremergency is declared in those locations. This helps you more efficiently track the weatherconditions in and around your area.PC Control - This term is associated with the ability to program frequencies and otheruseful information via a computer by means of the Uniden national database or third partysoftware. You can change the transfer speed on the scanner needed to be compatible withyour PC. (See page 65)Scan List - When you designate a bank to be a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10Scan Lists, which are simply list of your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, soyou can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk bank. These lists are designed to help youorganize the trunking system users into categories.bc780xlt glossary.qxd  10/08/2000  4:52 PM  Page 75
76Screen mask - Screen Mask reduces the amount of information that appears on thedisplay. Alpha tags that you have set for a channel along with a few function icons willappear only on the display. This mode is particularly useful in public safety vehicles wherethat are already overloaded with information. Screen Mask does not work in Search mode.SmartScan - This term identifies the ability to download frequencies and other usefulinformation for any area of the 50 states from the Uniden national database via an externalmodem or the internal modem on your personal computer (PC). This can be accomplishedby means of the free downloadable software when using the PC or the direct dial methodwhen using an external modem. See page 59 for details.Status Bit - This term refers to Motorola Type II systems. There is a method by whichspecial types of communications utilize unique talk group numbers. For example, if allemergency calls are set to occur on a specific talk group number then you will not missthe transmission even if you have not programmed all the talk group numbers. With theStatus Bit on and you have programmed the unique number, then you don’t have to worrywhat 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.bc780xlt glossary.qxd  10/08/2000  4:52 PM  Page 76

79User Defined Fleet MapsType I Programming InformationWhen a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the IDs is divided into 8equal 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 codeto all 8 blocks, you'll have defined the Fleet Map for the system you're tracking. Each sizecode 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 atotal of 512 individual IDs.When a block is assigned a size code, the Fleet or Fleets created within the block areassigned a Type I ID. The way these IDs display on your scanner depend on the blocknumber and the blocks size code. When a Type I ID displays, the left most digit representsthe block which contains the ID. The next two or three 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 arehighly dependent on the specific needs of the systems users. Some organizations may wantmany subfleets with only a few radios each, while another organization may want only a fewsubfleets with many radios each.Your task is to program your fleet map with the same sizecode 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 completecommunications while monitoring a trunked system.If you don't already know the size codes used, you'll have to guess at them. But since youdon't have to figure out all the blocks at once, this isn't as hard as it seems. Select a sizecode for a block, and then press SCAN. Now listen to the communications. If you decide youare receiving most of the replies to the conversations with IDs assigned to the block you justprogrammed, then you've probably selected the right size code and can work on the nextblock 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 CODE10, SIZE CODE 11, and SIZE CODE 12.405-12Block(1 digit) Subfleet(1 or 2 digits)Which Fleetwithin the Block(2 or 3 digits)bc780xlt appendix.qxd  10/08/2000  4:51 PM  Page 79
80Fleet Map Size CodesSize Code RestrictionsIf you select size code 12, 13, or 14, there are some restrictions as to which blocks can beused 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 availableblock when programming a Fleet Map. For example, if you assign Block 0 as an SIZE CODE12, you will be prompted for Block 2, the next block available, instead of Block 1. And if youassign Block 0 as an SIZE CODE 14, you would not see another prompt because it uses allavailable blocks.Size Fleets Subfleets IDs BlocksUsed0 Reserves block for Type II IDs +1 128 4 16 12 16 8 64 13 8 8 128 14 1 16 512 15 64 4 32 16 32 8 32 17 32 4 64 18 16 4 128 19 8 4 256 110 4 8 256 111 2 16 256 112 1 16 1024 213 1 16 2048 414 1 16 4096 8bc780xlt appendix.qxd  10/08/2000  4:51 PM  Page 80
