The BCT8 is a state-of-the-art Trunk Tracking Scanner with BearTracker technology which will alert you when the highway patrol is within an approximately 3 mile radius. It can store 250 frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, railroad, air, amateur, and other communications into 5 banks of 50 channels for a total of 250 channels.

Use your scanner to monitor:

• Highway Patrol
• Local Police and Country Sheriffs
• Trunking for:
  • Motorola
    
    • Type I
      
    • Type II
      
    • Type II: (Hybrid)
      
• EDACS
  
  • Wide band
    
  • SCAT (Single Channel Autonomous Trunking)
    
• LTR
  
• Business/Industrial Radio
  
• Utilities
  
• Marine Band
  
• Aircraft Band

Features:

• 250 User Programmable Memories - Lets you quickly store interesting frequencies for rapid recall.
• Frequency Coverage (BCT8) - Includes the most interesting "action" bands where you can hear police, ambulance, fire, amateur radio, public utilities, weather, and more. 25-54,108-174,400-512,806-956 (excluding cellular)
• BearTracker™ Warning System - Alerts you to activity on Highway Patrol link frequencies to let you know if there is activity within about 3 miles of your location.
• Preprogrammed Service Search - Makes finding interesting active frequencies even easier.
• Preprogrammed Highway Patrol Frequencies by State - Helps you to quickly find frequencies likely to be active where you are.
• Search Lockouts - Lets you lock out frequencies that have continuous or uninteresting communications so that searching is faster.
• Backlit Display - At the push of a button, our unique luminescent LCD screen is backlit so messages are easily read in low-light situations
• 100 ch/sec Scan Speed (max)
• Priority Operation - Helps ensure that you don't miss important transmissions on the channel you designate as the priority channel.
• Trunking (BCT8) - Motorola® Analog Trunking, EDACS® / EDACS® SCAT, LTR®
• Trunk Tracking- Follow VHF High Band UHF 800MHz trunked public safety and public service systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used.
  
• Multi-Track- Track more than one trunking system at a time. Scan conventional and trunked systems at the same time.
  
• 250 Channels- Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode.
  
• 13 Bands- Includes 13 bands, with aircraft and 800 MHz.
  
• 5 Banks- 5 banks with 50 channels each are useful for storing similar frequencies to maintain faster scanning cycles or for storing all the frequencies of a trunked system.
  
• 25 MHz-956 MHz- Indicates the range of frequencies that can be searched within the bands of your scanner. Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous and excludes the cellular telephone Band.
  
• 5 Priority Channels- You can assign one priority channel in each bank. Assigning a priority channel allows you to track activity on your most important channel(s) while monitoring other channels for transmissions. You can also assign trunking priority talkgroups.
  
• Data Skip- Allows your scanner to skip unwanted data transmissions and reduces birdies.
  
• Direct Channel Access- Go directly to any channel without entering programming mode.
  
• Turbo Search- Increases the search speed to 300 steps per second. This applies only to transmission bands with 5 kHz steps.
  
• PC Programmable- Allows you to easily program all frequencies and Trunking Talk Groups into your BCT8 through Uniden BCT8 Scanning software running on your PC.
