The BC370CRS scanner is a multi-featured conventional channel scanner with All Hazards Alert Technology. You can easily enter and store frequencies for police, fire/emergency, marine, air, amateur, and other radio services into 300 channels distributed over ten banks. The scanner also alerts you when NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) or any broadcast station the scanner is tuned to issues an EAS (Emergency Alert System) signal. These alerts are issued for severe weather, homeland security, and law enforcement events (such as Amber alerts). Your BC370CRS also has a built-in RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) that automatically sets to the precise current time based on the NIST (National Institution of Standards and Time) nationwide broadcast.

Use your scanner to monitor:

• Analog public safety channels
• Police and fire departments (including rescue and paramedics)
• NOAA weather transmissions (including 3 Canadian Coast Guard channels)
• Business/Industrial radio and utilities
• Marine and amateur (ham radio) bands
• Aircraft (commercial and private) band
• Railroad
• AM/FM Broadcast Stations
• TV Channels 2-13

• Channel Memory Scanning- Scans frequencies you have stored in any of the channels or banks at a rate of up to 70 channels per second.
• Memory Availability- Store and then scan any of up to 300 channels distributed over 10 banks.
• SAME All-Hazards Operation- In standby mode, constantly monitors the last-tuned station and alerts you if it detects an alert transmission for your area (NOAA and broadcast channels only).
• Direct Channel Access- Press 0 - 9 and HOLD to directly access any stored frequency.
• Channel Lockout/Frequency Lockout- Skip over stored frequencies (channels) using the Lockout feature to enable faster scanning. Lets you designate up to fifty frequencies to skip during a search (limit or service) to increase the scanning speed.
• Radio Controlled Clock- Automatically sets to the precise time using NIST broadcasts.
• AM/FM and TV 2-13 Broadcast- Lets you store up to 30 preset broadcast channels (10 AM and 20 FM/TV) for quick access.
• Priority Channel- Designate a specific frequency as a Priority Channel. The radio scans and checks that channel every 2 seconds. Select and designate up to 10 frequencies as Priority Channels (one per bank).
• Duplicate Channel Alert- Lets you know that a selected frequency has already been programmed into memory if you attempt to store it again.
• Limit Frequency Searching- Lets you designate lower and upper frequency range and search within that range for active frequencies. You can then store frequencies in memory as channels for later recall.
• Service Search- Lets you designate one of the five preprogrammed service channels (Police, Fire/EMS, Air, Ham, Marine) to search. Scan and Search Speed
  • Scan Speed 70 channels per second maximum in SCAN MODE
  • Search Speed 75 steps per second maximum in SEARCH MODE
  • TURBO MODE For frequency steps 5kHz apart, searching occurs in Turbo Mode which is 225 steps per second.
• Clock Display- The scanner always displays the current time. The clock also features an alarm that lets you wake to the selected radio source or an alert tone up to 20 minutes or be shut off manually. A convenient snooze button lets you silence the alarm for an extra 5-minutes.
• Delay- You can enable or disable the 2-second delay to resume scanning when a transmission ends. Enabling this feature helps prevent missing a response from one of the parties in the transmission.
• LCD Backlight- You can enable or disable the LCD back lighted display.
• Contrast Adjust- Lets you adjust the LCD contrast for best viewing.
• Key Touch Tone- A tone sounds to confirm you have made a valid key input while a different tone sounds to alert you to an invalid entry.
• EEPROM Memory Backup- The scanner uses a non-volatile EEPROM for memory backup.
• Battery Alert- A battery icon alerts you if no battery is installed or the battery power is low. An alert tone sounds when the battery needs to be replaced. The backup provides backup for the clock when external power is off or not connected and will power scanning for a short time.
• Auto Power Off- Turns the scanner off when the battery power gets too low.
