Terminology What are Highway Patrol Alerts? Most highway patrol vehicles on the road today are equipped with a secondary radio system known as a “mobile extender” or “vehicular repeater.” Whenever the dispatcher transmits to any vehicle in the district, “mobile extender” in every car within the district is activated.
In a trunked radio system the frequencies are shared among the police and fire departments and a computer systematically assigns available frequencies when they are needed for communications. Sharing of the available public service frequencies, or trunking, allows cities, counties, or other agencies to accommodate hundreds of users with relatively few frequencies. Following a conversation on a trunked system using a scanner is difficult, if not impossible.
Feature Highlights • Pre-programmed frequencies specific to each state (except Hawaii).
Where to Obtain More Information Before you can scan the PRIVATE bank, you must program frequencies into the scanner’s channels. The Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new scanner. However, this is not a complete list of frequencies for your area. To obtain frequency information for your area, contact one of the following: • Scanner Master 1 (800) Scanner (722-6637) (Hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Included with Your Scanner Package • BCT8 Scanner • AC Adapter (AD 140U) • DC Power Cord • Cigarette Lighter Adapter Plug (Model CD007) • Telescopic Antenna (Model AT129) • Window Mount Antenna (Model AT002) • Operating Guide • Trunk Tracker Frequency Guide • Other Printed Materials • Remote Programming Software Demo CD-ROM • Mobile Mounting Bracket (Model MB-008) If any of these items are missing or damaged, immediately contact your place of purchase or Uniden Customer Service at: (800) 297-1023, 8:00 a.m.
Installing the BCT8 For Home Use (Desktop Installation) 1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC 12V jack on the rear panel. 2. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 3. Plug the Telescoping Antenna into the ANT connector. Extend the antenna to its full height. For frequencies higher than 406 MHz, shortening the antenna may improve the reception. 4. Use the desktop stand for a better viewing and operating angle.
3. Drill the necessary holes and secure the mounting bracket in place using the screws provided. 4. Mount the radio to the bracket only after the wiring has been connected to the rear panel. Connecting the Power Cord Note: If you are not experienced in connecting accessories to the vehicle fuse box, please see your automotive dealer for advice on proper installation. Installation for everyday use: 1.
Typical Mounting Methods The BCT8 can be conveniently mounted on a table, bulkhead, overhead, or any other desired location with the supplied mounting bracket (MB008) (refer to figure below for typical mounting methods). Caution: Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the desired location before proceeding. Check that free access for mounting and cabling is available.
Applying Power for Vehicle Installation You can power your scanner using the supplied DC cigarette lighter power cord or an DC power cord. DC power Installation To power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket), you need a cigarette-lighter adapter. To connect an DC cigarette-lighter power cable, insert its barrel plug into the DC 12V jack on the rear of the scanner, then plug the power cable into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.
Applying Power Using Standard AC Power To power the scanner from an AC outlet, use the provided AC adapter with a 5.5 mm outer diameter/2.1mm inner diameter tip. Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 500 mA. The cord connector’s center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 12V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
Scanning Overview You can scan in one of four ways: 1. Highway Patrol Scanning When you select a state you want to scan in Highway Patrol mode, you can scan pre-programmed Highway Patrol frequencies. 2. Service Scanning Press SVC to select one of the nine services to find an active frequency. 3. Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is different from scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper limits of the band.
How Squelch Works Think of “SQUELCH” as a gate. If the gate is too low (squelch too low), everything (all noise as well as signals) gets through. Strong Signals Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise If the gate is set too high (squelch too high), nothing gets through. Strong Signals Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise If the gate is set just right (squelch set properly), just the desired signals get through. Strong Signals Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise Setting the Squelch 1.
Highway Patrol Scanning Highway Patrol frequencies are pre-programmed on a state-by-state basis. When Highway Patrol scanning, the Highway Warning Alert is activated. Selecting the State 1. Press STATE to select the state you are operating in. Press and hold STATE to scroll rapidly. Hint: For the State Code Order, please see page 56. 2. To step forward through the states (A - W), press STATE and, within three seconds, press the ▲ key repeatedly.
Highway Patrol Scan Hold 1. When scanning stops on a desired frequency, press HOLD/RESUME to hold on that frequency as long as you like. When in the HOLD mode, press the ▲ or ▼ key to step up or down the frequency. To step up or down rapidly, press and hold the ▲ or ▼ key. If you change into a frequency which is a control channel, the scanner may display the Active ID (When TRUNK mode is active). 2. To resume scanning, press HOLD/RESUME. Note: Highway Warning Alert does not work while in the HOLD mode.
• Press MUTE to cancel One Moment Mute. • Press and hold MUTE for two seconds to cancel Continuous Mute. You hear two beeps and the MUTE LED goes out. • Change states. The MUTE LED goes out after scanning starts. • Turn the scanner off and on. Note: If MUTE is pressed for less than 2 seconds during the Continuous Mute mode, nothing will be changed. Alert Light Adjustment The ALERT Light has three settings: Bright, Dim, and Off. Push FLASH to select Bright, Dim or Off.
You will experience a slight in the conversations you hear as the scanner checks the Priority channels. You can cancel the priority check and the interruptions in the conversations by pressing HOLD/RESUME to hold on the frequency. Note: The Highway Warning Alert is inoperative while the scanner is on Hold. Remember to press HOLD/RESUME to return to normal priority-scan operation. Priority channel cannot be changed, but you can lock-out priority channels using L/O.
Trunked Highway Frequency Trunked Highway frequencies are pre-programmed for each state. When the scanner finds the control channel data, the scanner begins to find any active IDs. If the scanner finds any ID, the active ID appears on the display and you will hear it. If you press the ▲ key while monitoring an ID, the scanner will check to see if any other IDs are active. If none are active, scanning resumes.
Private Bank Scanning Programming Frequencies into Channels Before the scanner begins Private Bank scanning, you must program a frequency into at least one channel. Program frequencies you purchased from your dealer, from various free and FCC-based sources on the internet, or from the Frequency guide included in BCT8 package. You will need to program each frequency into the scanner’s channels in order to hear these frequencies. 1.
Duplicate Frequency Alert If you enter a frequency which has been stored in another channel, you will hear an error tone and the other channel displays. Press . (decimal key) to clear and start again. ––– OR ––– Press E again to store the frequency in both channels. Note: The smallest channel appears on the display when you store same frequency in two or more channels. Memory Lock To avoid the accidental programming frequencies and talk group IDs, you can lock the memory with Memory Lock.
Hold/Resume If you want to stop on a channel during scanning, press HOLD/RESUME. If you want to resume scanning, press HOLD/RESUME. Direct channel access: There are several ways to access a specific channel quickly. 1. Press HOLD/RESUME. 2. Using the keypad, enter the channel number. 3. Press HOLD/RESUME again. Note: You can also use the PVT, ▲ or ▼ key instead of pressing HOLD/RESUME. Channel Lockout You can lockout any channel so it is not checked during normal scanning.
Restoring All Locked-out Channels You can restore all locked-out channels in a bank only when a bank is selected for scan. If you have deselected a bank and you want to restore all of its locked-out channels using the steps below, you must press PVT until “PVT” appears and then enter the number of the bank on your keypad. 1. Press HOLD/RESUME. Note: You must be in Hold mode before restoring all locked-out channels. 2. Press and hold L/O for about 2 seconds.
Service Scanning The service scan feature allows you to rotate through the following nine service banks. ➀ Local Police and County Sheriffs *1 ➁ Fire and Emergency Medical Service ➂ News Media ➃ Weather (NOAA, weather and Canadian Coast Guard broadcasts) ➄ CB Band ➅ Aircraft *2 ➆ Railroads ➇ Marine Band ➈ Department of Transportation *1 *1) Frequencies are pre-programmed on every U.S. state. *2) Except Aeronautic Radio Navigation (108-117.9875 MHz) 1. Press SVC to select a Service.
Band Search Setting a Search Band The BCT8 can search up to 13 separate frequency ranges to help you discover new stations in your area. To set a Search Bands, enter into the Band Search mode.

• While Private Scanning in the trunking banks, press SRCH, then it will move to ID Search mode. Search Hold Feature 1. Press HOLD/RESUME at anytime to stop the search. To move up or down 1 frequency step, use the ▲ or ▼ key. 2. Press HOLD/RESUME to resume searching. Data Skip A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the BCT8 will occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search.
Storing Search Frequencies You can quickly store any frequency you find during Search. 1. During Search, press HOLD/RESUME. If you want to change the frequency, use the ▲ or ▼ key to move up or down 1 frequency step. Then press E. Or when the scanner stops on the frequency you want to store, press E. 2. Select a bank you want to store by using the keypad. The smallest empty channel number and the frequency alternately appear on the display.
Trunk Tracking Your BCT8 is tracks three major types of trunked radio systems. These systems are described here. ❖MOTOROLA - Including Type I, Type II, Hybrid, SMARTNET, and Privacy Plus. Motorola systems are widely used by public safety and business users. Most are on the 800 MHz band, and recent systems are appearing on other bands. (see page 43). ❖EDACS - Including "Wideband" 9600 baud and SCAT.
Programming Trunking Frequencies There are three steps for programming a trunked system: 1. Program the Trunk Type – What type of system will the scanner be tracking, Motorola Type II, Type I, EDACS, LTR, etc. 2. Program the Trunked Frequencies – Within a trunked system, the frequencies are shared among all the users, called “Talk Groups”. 3. Program the Talk Groups – Within the trunked system, each agency or department is assigned a Talk Group ID.
*** Requires programming of frequencies in exact order and location. STEP 2: Programming Trunking Frequencies 1. Select and press E. Use the keypad and for the trunked system. For example, enter . (decimal key) to enter a frequency . Note: To clear a mistake while entering a frequency, press (decimal key) twice, and start over. . 2. Then press E. The “E” (EDACS), “M” (Motorola) or “L” (LTR) appears depending on the trunked system selected.
In order to program Talk Group ID’s, you must first complete Step1–“Selecting Trunking System Type”, page 30 and Step 2 – “Programming Trunking Frequencies”, page 31. 1. After programming a frequency, press HOLD/RESUME to return to the main screen of system type selected and select . Then press E. 2. Select the Scan List location by using the ▲ or ▼ key. 3. Enter the Talk Group IDs for each trunk system as follows. To enter a Type 2 Talk Group ID: 1. Enter the ID you want to store by using the keypad. 2.
Please see page 42 for more information. 1. Enter the Area Code. 2. Enter the Home Repeater number. 3. Enter the ID you want to store 4. Press E. Note: To clear a stored ID while entering an ID, press 0 and E successively, and start over. Receiving Trunked Systems When you have properly programmed all the frequencies for a trunked system, you can monitor the system in several different ways. You will find that Search, Hold, Lockout, Scan and Delay are all similar to conventional scanning.
Note: One Scan List must always be active. If you try and deactivate all the Scan Lists, Scan List 1 will automatically be active. 3. To restore a Scan List to active scanning, press its number again. ☞ Remember! When you press TRUNK in the Trunking mode, you can be out of the Trunking mode and enter into Private Scan Hold mode. Note: • appears on the display during Trunk Scan instead of simply . ID Scan Hold Feature If you want to stop on a ID during ID scanning, press HOLD/RESUME.
ID Monitor Mode By using ID Monitor mode, you can determine which talk groups are the most active without hearing conversations. 1. Press and hold SRCH for 2 seconds until you hear two beeps. Then begins flashing and all active talk group IDs appear on the display every 0.5 seconds. 2. To activate ID search mode, press SRCH Note: Lockout ID also appears on the display.
ID Lockout Like conventional scanning, it’s possible to lockout unwanted traffic. This is particularly important in trunked systems because in many areas, water meters, door alarms, traffic signals, and other mechanical devices are assigned IDs just like other users. Also some departments scramble or encrust their communications, and you may want to lock out these unintelligible broadcasts. To Lockout an ID, press L/O on the ID you want to lockout. The ID is locked out. You can Lockout up to 100 IDs.
Setting the Delay Mode for Trunking Mode A default delay of 2 seconds is automatically set for each talkgroup for ID Scan mode and ID Search mode. To set the delay feature on or off, press DELAY while trunking, “DLY” will appear or disappear depending on your setting. Trunking Frequency Confirmation You can check the frequency while a talkgroup ID is active. Press the ▼ key ,and the active frequency on which the talk group is transmitting will flash on the display.
Multi-Track The BCT8 allows you to track more than one system at a time. Here are some highlights of this feature: ❖ You can actually track up to 5 trunking systems at one time. ❖ You can trunk scan, or search and scan conventional frequencies at the same time. ❖ You can program conventional frequencies in the same bank as trunking systems.
EDACS® Reception EDACS® Tracking TrunkTracker III now allows tracking of EDACS® trunked systems. Until now these widely used systems have been almost impossible to monitor with a conventional scanner. With your TrunkTracker III listening to EDACS(s) is remarkably easy, and perhaps even easier than conventional scanning. EDACS systems use 'Transmission Trunking', which means that each transmission is assigned a new frequency.
An EDACS® Trunked system This chart shows how talkgroups are organized within an EDACS system at the Agency level. The individual talkgroups cannot be shown at this scale because there are over 2000. However the chart can show the 16 Agencies in this example. The system is logical and easy to understand. EDACS systems are typically arranged in an outline structure. The system users are given blocks of talkgroups. Sizes vary but most large cities and other agencies have blocks of 128 channels.
Special EDACS® Features AFS Partial Entry Feature AFS is Uniden's method of encoding EDACS talkgroups. AFS stands for 'Agency-Fleet-Subfleet'. AFS talkgroups are used in all EDACS reception -- in ID Search, ID Lockout and ID Scan. The powerful AFS Partial Entry feature designed into the BCT8 lets you use either a complete talkgroup code, or just the most significant part. This feature lets you expand or narrow searching and scanning to one of 4 levels.
LTR® Reception LTR® Tracking 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 trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.
Motorola Reception Motorola Tracking There are really two types of Motorola trunking systems. These are usually referred to as Type I and Type II systems. Type I only occurs on some 800 MHz systems. All VHF and UHF trunking systems use Type II. One important distinction between these two systems is the amount of data transmitted by each radio when its push-to-talk button (PTT) is pressed. Every radio in a trunked system is assigned a unique ID so the central site computer can identify it when it’s used.
Fleet Map Programming If you have programmed a trunk tracking bank for Motorola, press TRUNK to start MultiTrack, and you will see user IDs on the display. Since the BCT8 defaults to Type II systems, all the IDs will appear as numbers. However, if you notice a mix of odd and even user IDs, for example 6477, 2560, 6481, 6144, 1167, etc., then you are probably monitoring either a Type I or Hybrid systems. You may also notice that you are missing responses when you hold on an active ID.
The next available block appears on the display. 6. Repeat step 5 until you have selected a size code for each block. For details about each size code, see "Fleet Map Size Codes" in the Appendix. Programming a Hybrid System A Hybrid system is simply a Type I system with some blocks designated as Type II blocks. To program a Hybrid system, follow the steps listed in "Programming a User Fleet Map" in the previous section. However, if you want a block to be Type II, select Size Code .
9. Use the keypad to enter a new Offset Channel, then press E. Note: • You can only input within a range of 380-759. • If the system is not tracking properly, you may need to try a new Base Frequency or Offset Channel, or you may be missing frequencies from the system. • You can set up to three Base, Spacing and Offsets for Motorola VHF/UHF trunked systems. Toggling the Status Bit On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialized types of communications utilize unique talkgroup numbers.
PL1 (plan 1): This plan is the most common. Use Plan 1 if the last three digits of ALL the frequencies in use end in one of the following three digits: 125, 375, 625, or 875 (example: 856.1125, 860.7375, 859.6625, 855.8875). PL2 (plan 2): If the last three digits of frequencies are less than 860.000 and end in one of the following three digits (125, 375, 625, or 875) and if ANY other frequencies end in (000, 250, 500, or 750) use Plan 2.
Remote Interface You can communicate and program your BCT8 in numerous ways with peripheral devices using a Remote Interface Cable port. This radio offers the following modes: ❖ PC Control mode Program and control your scanner from a PC using Uniden’s BCT8 Scanner Software. ❖ Clone mode Clone all the frequencies, trunking talkgroups, and fleet maps programmed into your scanner to another BCT8 scanner or another BCT8. PC Control Mode To connect Scanner to PC: ANT. EXT. SP.

5. The data transfer begins from the First Unit to the Clone Unit. During the data transfer, both scanners show the following displays. send data receive data When the data transfer is complete, displays. If the data transfer is not successful, the following error message will appear. Note: • To clear , press . (decimal key). Note • Once you have completed the cloning of the scanners, reset the scanners by turning the scanners OFF and then ON again.
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. Location • Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom. • Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
Troubleshooting If your BCT8 is not performing properly, try the following steps. Problem Suggestion Going by patrol cars and not receiving alarms. 1. Make sure you are scanning in Highway Mode. 2. Check antenna connections. 3. Conditions to activate the alarm are variable and depend upon the timing of the dispatcher transmissions and proximity of patrol car to your vehicle. Also, terrain and other factors may be involved. 4.
If you experience difficulty while in TrunkTracker mode, try the following steps. Problem Suggestion Scanner won't track. 1. Missing the Data Frequency. 2. Change to a Type 1 Scanner setup. Review Fleet Map Programming on page 45. Scanner won't stop during Scan List mode. 1. No IDs have been programmed. 2. The IDs you have stored are not active. Scanner will not acquire data channel. 1. Adjust the squelch for Trunking mode - refer to page 29. 2. Missing the frequency used for the data channel.

User Defined Fleet Maps Type I Programming Information When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the IDs are divided into 8 equal sized blocks. When you program your scanner to track a Type I system, you must select a size code for each of these blocks. When you have assigned a size code to all 8 blocks, you have defined the Fleet Map for the system you're tracking. Each size code determines the number of Fleets, Subfleets, and IDs each block will have.
