The FCC Wants You To Know This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Scanning Legally Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager services, and wire line (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions that you should never intentionally listen to.
Introduction The BC796D APCO 25 Digital Trunking Scanner connects you to the exciting world of scanning. Capable of scanning conventional frequencies, analog trunking systems, and the most popular digital trunking systems, it is a great all-in-one solution to your scanning needs.
In addition, here are a few more of the many features your scanner has. To get the most from your scanner, be sure to review this entire manual. • APCO Project 25 Phase 1 Compatible – works on the latest 9600 bps systems, including systems that use C4FM and CQPSK modulation.* • Four-line, 16-character, Alpha Display – makes it easy for you to see who is talking by displaying the assigned text tag instead of just a frequency or talkgroup ID number.
Using this Manual To get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the basic functions available. If you are new to scanning or trunktracking, be sure to read the “Understanding Scanning” section for a quick background on the technology behind the hobby. The first thing you’ll need to do is plug the AC charger into the scanner. See “Setting Up Your Scanner” if you need any help doing this. Next, you’ll want to listen to see what you can hear with your scanner.
Understanding Scanning This section provides you with the background on how scanning works. You don’t really need to know all of this to use your scanner, but some background knowledge will help you to get the most from your BC796D. Conventional Scanning Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept. Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned a single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater systems) to use.
Trunked Scanning While conventional scanning worked great while there were only a few groups wanting to use the frequencies, with the advent of smaller, lower-cost radios more and more agencies and businesses wanted to take advantage of the utility of 2-way radio. As a result, the bands that were used most became full, so new users were not able to take advantage of the technology as quickly as they wanted.
One big difference you will notice with digital versus analog transmissions, is that with analog systems, you might be able to hear weak signals interspersed with hissing. As you move further away from the system, the interference gradually increases until you are unable to make out the transmission. With digital systems, the cutoff point is much more abrupt. You might have a small area where partial decoding occurs...in which case you will hear partial and garbled audio.
LTR Trunking LTR® (Logic Trunked Radio) systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or private communications service providers, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair services. These systems encode all control information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission, so there is no separate control channel. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.
Getting More Information By itself, this manual really only provides part of what you need to know to have fun scanning – how to program and use the scanner. The two supplied Conventional and Trunking frequency guides will give you a good head start on the other part of what you need to know – what frequencies have interesting content. You can also find a wealth of information on the Internet...check out scanners.uniden.com for the latest frequency information in your area.

• In the ID search mode, the scanner displays the alpha tags associated with the stored talkgroups or NEW for talkgroups you have not stored. Scanning Only Stored Talkgroups (ID Scan) To scan only those talkgroups you have stored into your scanner, press SCAN while scanning that system; or, press and hold TRUNK until the scanner displays READY TO ID SCAN.
To unlock an ID you locked out during ID search or ID scan: 2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the Bank → 7:L/O ID REVIEW Then, use the scroll bar to select the ID you want to unlock and press L/O. Or, press ▲/HOLD then press L/O for 2 seconds to clear all the lockouts from the system. EDACS Blockout This is a powerful form of lockout that is only available for EDACS systems. EDACS Blockout lets you lockout entire Agencies or Fleets, not just individual talkgroups.
Searching Your BC796D includes powerful search features that let you discover new active frequencies in your area. You can save up to 10 custom search ranges in your scanner. This section details how to use custom search ranges and also details the various settings that affect search operation. To start a search, first program one or more search ranges (see “Setting a Search Range”). Then, press SRCH. The scanner begins searching within the selected search range.
To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is stopped on a frequency you want to skip. Notes: • You can program up to 200 skip frequencies. The 201st skip frequency entered causes the first skipped frequency to unlock. • If all frequencies in the search range are set to skip, a beep sounds and it moves to Search Hold mode. To resume searching: 1) Unskip all skipped frequencies —- OR —2) Select a different Search Frequency range.
Setting Subaudible Tones for Searching You can set the scanner to only stop on transmissions that either have no subaudible tone or include a specified CTCSS or DCS tone during searches. This setting affects all search ranges. For this feature to work, you need to turn on the Tone Mode (see “Setting Squelch Mode”). 1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH → 5:TONE DATA 1:CTCSS Lets you set the CTCSS tone. 2:DCS Lets you set the DCS. 3:OFF Does not use subaudible tones.
5:INFINITE When the scanner stops on a transmission, you must press RSM to resume searching. 6: -2 SECONDS The scanner only stops on transmissions for 2 seconds, then automatically resumes. To hold on the transmission, press ▲/HOLD during the 2-second pause. 7: -5 SECONDS The scanner only stops on transmissions for 5 seconds, then automatically resumes. To hold on the transmission, press ▲/HOLD during the 5-second pause.
Plan 1, so this setting should work in most cases. Note: This feature only works for 800 MHz and 900 MHz Motorola trunking systems. If the scanner detects a trunking control channel, it will begin to track that system. The scanner displays the talk group numbers as they become active.
Service Search The Service Search feature lets you scroll through the following twelve preprogrammed services. The frequencies selected for these services are the most commonly used around the U.S.
Using Weather Search and Weather Alert (SAME) Your scanner allows you to either search for a local NOAA weather broadcast, or be set to alert when a SAME weather alert is broadcast on a NOAA channel. Searching for a Weather Broadcast To search for a weather broadcast in your area: 1:SERVICE OPTION → 1:WEATHER → 1:MONITOR The scanner begins to search the frequencies used by the National Weather Service for these broadcasts.
To limit alerts to a specific area, you must also program in the FIPS code(s) for the area(s) you want to receive alerts for. The scanner can be set to either alert for all areas, or only the areas you have programmed. You can get FIPS codes for your area by calling the National Weather Service at 1-888-NWR-SAME or visit their web site at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm. To program weather alert operation: 1:SERVICE OPTION → 1:WEATHER → 2:ALERT 1. Select 1:ON to turn on weather alert. 2.
Programming Bank Information In addition to channel and trunking system information you program into each bank (covered in the following sections), this section covers general bank information. Bank Configuration Each of your scanner’s banks holds 100 channels that can be a mix of conventional (nontrunked) channels and one trunking system. Bank 1 holds Channels 001-100, Bank 2 holds Channels 101-200, and so on through Bank 0 which holds Channels 901-1000.
General Programming This section includes procedures that apply regardless of whether you are programming conventional or trunked channels. Deleting Frequencies from Channels To delete a stored frequency, manually select the channel, then press 0 and E. The contents of the channel are erased. Transferring Channel Information To transfer settings from one channel to another: 1. Manually select the channel with the information you want to transfer. 2. Press TRNFR.
• Entered frequencies are rounded off according to the step size for the channel. • When you store a new frequency in a channel, the text tag previously assigned to that channel is deleted.
Programming Conventional Channels Each bank can hold a mix of conventional channels plus one trunking system. This section describes how to store known frequencies into conventional channels. The first few sections are intended to be performed in the order indicated if you are entering information the first time. If you are editing existing information, manually select the channel, then use the complete menu process to access the information you want to change.
3:DONE Exit the channel setting and menu mode. Setting the Delay 2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. → 2:DELAY The delay option lets you set a delay after a transmission for each channel. This slows down scanning, but helps to prevent missing replies. 1:NONE The delay is turned off. 2:1 SECOND The delay time is 1 second. 3:2 SECONDS The delay time is 2 seconds. 4:4 SECONDS The delay time is 4 seconds. 5:INFINITE When the scanner stops on a transmission, you must press RSM to resume searching.
Digital Coded Squelch is similar to CTCSS, but instead of differentiating codes using frequencies, DCS always uses the same frequency but encodes it with a binary value. When you select this option, the scanner only opens squelch when a matching DCS value is present on the frequency. 3:OFF The scanner opens squelch regardless of the presence of tones. Note: If, instead of pressing E to select a tone you press L/O, the scanner will stop on any transmission except for those with the selected tone.
6:25KHz Use 25 kHz steps 7:50KHz Use 50 kHz steps 8:100KHz Use 100 kHz steps 9:AUTO Automatically set the step size based on the band Setting the Modulation Mode 2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. → 7:MODE Radio transmissions are modulated in several different ways. The BC796D is able to demodulate the most common transmission types. Your scanner has the most common modulation mode preset for each band, so you seldom have to change this option.
Programming Trunked Systems Your BC796D is designed to scan most major types of trunking systems, including APCO Project 25 Phase 1 digital communication systems. These systems are briefly described here. For a more technical description of each system, see “Understanding Scanning.” General trunking options are also covered in this section.
Setting Trunking Delay Setting a delay for trunking systems helps to ensure that you do not miss replies while scanning. 2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank → 4:DELAY 1:NONE The delay is turned off. 2:1 SECOND The delay time is 1 second. 3:2 SECONDS The delay time is 2 seconds. 4:4 SECONDS The delay time is 4 seconds. 5:INFINITE When the scanner stops on a transmission, you must press RSM to resume searching.
The scanner will stop on I-Calls or normal talkgroups. 2:OFF The scanner ignores I-Calls. 3:ONLY The scanner only stops on I-Calls. Turning I-Call On for ID Scan To receive I-Calls for ID Scan, simply store the radio unit number as ( . ) plus the unit number in place of the talkgroup. To receive any I-Call while scanning, enter the I-Call wildcard ( . ) 0. For EDACS and Motorola Type 1 systems, this appears as i0; for Motorola Type 2 systems, this appears as 700000.
TRUNK SCAN: The scanner moves to a trunked system and looks for IDs in your Scan List(s) for up to 1 second. If it finds no activity on your programmed talkgroups, it moves on to conventional channels in the same bank or to the next active bank. If the scanner finds that a talkgroup in one of your active Scan Lists becomes active, you will begin to hear that communication and the scanner will display the proper talkgroup number and any alpha tag.
Programming Motorola Systems Follow the instructions in this section to program information for Motorola Type I, II, IIi Hybrid, and APCO 25 Digital trunking systems. Using Control Channel Programming Your scanner has a powerful feature that lets you program in only the control channels for Motorola 800 and 900 MHz systems. This can greatly shorten the time it takes to program system information.
3. Select one of the following trunk types for Motorola Type 2 or digital Systems: 1:TYPE2/P25 800 Motorola Type 2 or Digital systems in the 800 MHz band 3:TYPE2/P25 900 Motorola Type 2 or Digital systems in the 900 MHz band 4. Select the channel to store the information into. 2:TRUNK CHANNEL Use the scroll bar to select a channel within the bank to store a system frequency, then press E. 5.
5. Select the channel to store the information into. 2:TRUNK CHANNEL Use the scroll bar to select a channel within the bank to store a system frequency, then press E. 6. Store the channel information 1:FREQUENCY Enter the frequency for the channel, then enter an Alpha Tag for the channel. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to store the rest of the frequencies for the system. Then, see “Programming Talkgroups.
Toggling the Status Bit Motorola talkgroup ID’s are sent as a 16-bit binary number. Normally, the last 4 positions in the number are 0’s, which result in all talkgroups being equally divisible by 16. These last four bits, however, can be used by the trunking system to indicate various status conditions. For example, an emergency status could be indicated by setting the second-from last digit to 1. Talkgroup 33264, then would be sent on the system as 33266 when the radio triggered its emergency status.
Programming EDACS Systems Follow the instructions in this section to program information for EDACS Wide, EDACS Narrow, and EDACS SCAT trunking systems. Note that to program these systems, in addition to knowing the system type and frequencies used, you must know the logical channel numbers (LCN) for the system’s frequencies. This information is usually provided with the frequency and other information. For more information refer to “Understanding Scanning.” Programming EDACS Channels 1.
Setting EDACS Decimal Mode By default your scanner displays EDACS talkgroups in AFS format (see “Understanding Scanning”). However, you can use this option to display and enter talkgroups in digital format. 2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank → :EDCS ID FORM 1:AFS Display the talkgroup ID in Agency-Fleet-Subfleet (AFS) format. 2:DECIMAL Display the talkgroup ID in decimal format.
Programming APCO 25 Systems To program an APCO 25 system, follow the steps in the appropriate section for conventional or Motorola Trunking. APCO 25 systems require only 1 additional setting: Sound Quality. Setting APCO 25 Sound Quality Each APCO 25 system has slightly different system settings that control how the audio is digitized. To get the best sound quality, you need to match as closely as possible the system’s settings. To adjust the sound quality: 1.
Programming LTR Systems Follow the instructions in this section to program information for LTR trunking systems. For more information about LTR systems, refer to “Understanding Scanning.” 2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Enter the bank → 1:TRUNK TYPE → 1:ON → 9:LT → 2:TRUNK CHANNEL 1. Enter the channel number. 1:FREQUENCY 2. Enter the frequency and alpha tag for the channel. Repeat these steps for all channels in the system. Then, refer to “Programming Talkgroups.
Programming Talkgroups For many of the trunk scanning features to operate, you need to program the scanner with the talkgroup ID’s. Each bank can store up to 100 talkgroups in 10 ID groups of 10 talkgroups each. Group similar talkgroups together in the same ID group. When scanning, you can turn ID groups on and off with a quick keypress. Storing Known Talkgroups Follow these steps to store talkgroups you have gotten from a list. 2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank → 3:TALK GROUP 1.
Deleting Stored Talkgroup ID’s To delete a stored talkgroup ID: 1. While scanning a trunked system in the ID scan mode (see “Scanning Only Stored Talkgroups”), press ▲/HOLD. Or, to use the menu system: 2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank → 3:TALK GROUP 2. Use the scroll bar to select the talkgroup ID you want to delete, then press E. 3. Select 1:ID and press E. 4. Press 0, then press E.
Using the Remote Interface You can connect your scanner to either a PC or another BC796D using the remote interface cable port. This allows you to either control and program your scanner using a PC and the supplied software and cable (not supplied) or clone the memory from one BC796D into another BC796D (gender changer/coupler required, not supplied).
During transfer both scanners display the following. CLONE CLONE == > MASTER UNIT == < SLAVE UNIT When transfer is complete, the scanners display COMPLETE. Turn both scanners off and then back on to initialize them. If data transfer is not successful, the following message appears. CLONE ERROR MASTER UNIT To clear the error, press . . To exit the clone mode, repeatedly press MENU.
Care and Maintenance General 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 all channels when there has been a memory loss. • Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry, unless you have turned 2:OFF the 3:KEY BEEP in the menu system.
Troubleshooting If your BC796D is not performing properly, try the following steps. Problem Suggestion Scanner won't work. 1. Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adapter. 2. Turn ON the wall switch of your room. You could be using an outlet controlled by the wall switch. 3. Move the AC Adapter to another wall outlet. Improper reception. 1.

Glossary of Terms Alpha tag - This term refers to an alphanumeric text tag that you can enter to describe the individual frequencies that you have programmed. Rather than having to associate a specific frequency to the individuals that are using it, you can enter the actual name of the group. 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.
• 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 (National Weather Service) has divided the United States into regions by state and county (or parish, where applicable) then assigned a 6 digit FIPS code to identify each county or parish. The first digit represents the county subdivision, the next two represents the state, and the last three digits represent the county or parish.
Status Bit - This term refers to Motorola Type II systems. There is a method by which special types of communications utilize unique talk group numbers. For example, if all emergency calls are set to occur on a specific talk group number then you will not miss the transmission even if you have not programmed all the talk group numbers. With the Status Bit on and you have programmed the unique number, then you don’t have to worry what the rest of the groups numbers are.
