• 10 Channel Storage Banks : You can store up to 100 frequencies in each bank, for a total of 1,000 frequencies, making it easier to identify calls.
• 10 Custom Searches : Allows you to program up to 10 custom search ranges.
• 25 Service Searches : Preset frequencies are available in separate Maritime, Railroad, Aviation, CB Radio, Racing, FM Broadcasting, Public Safety, Military Aviation, FRS/GMRS, Media and Amateur searches, making it easy to find specific broadcasts.
• Adjustable scan, search delay and resume : Set a delay up to 30 seconds or a forced resume up to 10 seconds (per channel or search).
• Attenuator : You can set the scanner's attenuator to reduce the signal strength of strong signals by approximately 20 dB per channel or search band.
• Automatic Channel Selection : Accepts frequencies on any valid channel step, even if they do not fall within the standard bandplan steps.
• Band Scope Mode : Band Scope mode is a special type of search mode where the scanner searches a frequency range and displays the signal level in real time.
• Broadcast Block : This allows the scanner to ignore known broadcast frequencies, including beeper frequencies in search mode.
• Built-in Battery Charger : Allows you to charge the batteries in the scanner with a timer function and a USB connection cable (included).
• Configurable Band Standards : Allows you to set the step (2.5, 5, 6.25, 7.5, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50 or 100 kHz) and modulation (AM, FM, NFM, WFM or FMB) for 30 different bands.
• CTCSS/DCS - Digital Code Decoding : Decodes and displays Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System tones being transmitted and plays Digital Coded Squelch, DMR Color Code, NXDN Area and NXDN RAN code being received.
• CTCSS/DCS - Digital Code Search : Allows you to search for CTCSS, DCS, DMR Color Code, NXDN Area or NXDN RAN code when an active frequency is found in search modes.
• Custom Alerts : You can program your scanner to alert you when a channel is received. For each alert in the scanner, you can choose from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume settings and 2 flashing patterns.
• DMR and NXDN support : These features are pre-programmed, this allows you to receive broadcasts with these decoding protocols.
• Duplicate Frequency Warning : Warns you if you try to enter a duplicate name or frequency that is already stored in the scanner.
• Individual Channel Volume : This allows you to adjust the volume attenuation for each channel.
• Intermediate frequency exchange (IFE) : Changes the IF (Intermediate Frequency) used for a selected channel/frequency to prevent interference from picture and other product faults.
• Key Lock: Prevents most keys from working and prevents accidental programming.
• LCD Backlight : Makes the LCD easily visible in dim light with three brightness levels.
• PC Programmable : Allows you to transfer data to and from your scanner and control your scanner with a computer via the BCDX60DN SS and BC VUP program software (available via the product page at www.uniden.com/products ).
• Priority Plus Scan : Priority Channels let you monitor activity on your most important channels while checking other channels for transmissions, and you can scan only the priority channels. Priority Plus only monitors priority channels.
• Quick Search : This allows you to search from the currently tuned frequency or channel or enter a frequency and start searching. Turn the scroll knob to change the search direction.
• 1000 Alpha Tagged Channels: With Alpha Tagging, you can assign names to your channels so you can easily keep track of who’s listening to you. Organize your channels by department, location, interest area, or any other way you prefer.
• SAME Weather Alert : (with programmable FIPS codes) Have your scanner alert you when a SAME weather alert is broadcast on a NOAA weather channel. The scanner will also display the type of alert.
• Search Locks : You can lock up to 400 frequencies (200 temporary, 200 permanent) in search mode.
• Signal Strength Meter : Shows the signal strength for the stronger transmissions.
• Temporary Lock : Automatically unlocks temporarily locked channels/systems/searches/locations when you turn the power off and back on.
• Text Labeling : You can name each channel, custom search range, tone output, service list, and SAME group, with up to 16 characters per name.
• Tone Output Standby and Tone Search : This allows you to set the scanner to alert you when a two-tone sequential page is sent. You can set up to 10 settings (transmission frequency, tone frequencies) and select one for standby monitoring. The scanner will also search for and display unknown tones.
• Turbo Search Function : Automatically increases the search frequency from 100 to 300 steps per second for bands with 5 kHz steps.
