Summary of Features
The BC350A is a compact mobile/base scanner, and one of the most ad-
vanced communication products available today.
The BC350A features:
•
Super Turbo Scan*
This lightning-fast technology enables the
BC350A to scan and search nearly 100 channels or steps per sec-
ond. The BC350A scans about
five times faster than any standard
scanner sold in the United States. Because the frequency cover-
age within the service banks is so large (see below), a very fast
scanning system is essential. That is why we combined our latest
technology-- Super Turbo Scan-- into the BC350A.
