Introduction The BC 235XLT is a brand new state-of-the-art radio with TrunkTracking™ and automatic scanning capabilities. It can store frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, air, amateur, and other communications into 10 banks of 30 channels each.
Important Notice This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will not tune to the radio frequencies assigned by the FCC for cellular telephone usage. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal crime to intentionally intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to market this radio when altered to receive them.
Terminology What is Scanning? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications do not transmit continuously. The BC 235XLT scans programmed channels until it finds an active frequency. Scanning stops on an active frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received. What is Searching? The BC 235XLT can search each of its 12 bands to find active frequencies.
In a trunked radio system, which contains up to 29 different frequencies, radio users are divided into groups, often called talk groups, and these talk groups are assigned specific IDs. When someone in a talk group uses their radio, a brief bust of data is broadcast before each transmission. The trunking system computer uses this data to temporarily assign each radio in a talk group to an available frequency.
Feature Highlights Trunk Tracking – Follow 800 MHz trunked public safety and public service systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used. 300 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode. 12 Bands, 10 Banks – Includes 12 bands, with Aircraft and 800 MHz. 10 banks with 30 channels each are useful for storing similar frequencies to maintain faster scanning cycles or storing all the frequencies of a trunked system.
Where to Obtain More Information Before using your scanner, you must program frequencies into available channels. The Betty Bearcat Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new scanner. To order a copy of the frequency guide, call the enclosed Mr. Scanner (800) Number. A Uniden representative should be able to order you a copy of Betty Bearcat for your area and provide you with sample frequencies.

Setup These are helpful guidelines when using your new scanner: If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. If you need to improve reception, use an optional antenna designed for multi-band coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna at a local electronics store.) Use the included earphone or an optional stereo headset with proper impedance for private listening. Read the precautions on the inside front cover of this Guide.
3. Replace cover and press down until it clicks into place. Charging the Battery Pack Use the AC Adapter/Charger to power the BC 235XLT from an AC outlet. Use only the supplied AC Adapter (AD70U) or one of the optional power cords (WZ1015 or WZ1017). You can use your scanner while the battery charges. To fully charge the battery, leave the AC Adapter/Charger connected for 14 – 16 hours. Note: Disconnect the AC Adapter/Charger from the unit when charging is complete.
CRX120 Battery Charger The CRX120 charger allows you to charge the extra battery included with your scanner. You can also charge the battery inside your scanner at the same time. This way you can always have a charged battery ready to go. Charging the Spare Battery To fully charge the extra battery in the CRX120, you should leave the battery in the charger for 14 – 16 hours. BLK CHARGE Place the battery in the charger, and plug the AC Adapter into a wall outlet.
Connecting the Charger to Your Scanner When charging is complete, disconnect the CRX120 from your scanner, then unplug the AC Adapter/Charger from the CRX120. 12 2. IN Follow steps 1 and 2 under Charging the Spare Battery on page 12, then connect the charging lead on the CRX120 to the charging jack on your scanner. DC 1. V You can charge both batteries at the same time. To fully charge both batteries, you should leave the AC Adapter/Charger connected for 14 – 16 hours.

Trunk Tracking Your BC 235XLT is designed to track Motorola Type I, Type II, Type IIi, Hybrid, SMARTNET™, and PRIVACY PLUS™ analog trunking systems*, which are extensively used in 800 MHz communication systems. When tracking these types of systems, you may want to remember these important points: Your scanner defaults to monitor Type II systems; however, you can change this if the system in your area is different. (The types of systems are discussed below.
In a Type II system, when someone uses their radio, only the radio ID is transmitted when PTT is pressed, whereas in a Type I system the radio ID and its current affiliation are both transmitted when PTT is pressed. Why the difference? Type II systems are slightly more advanced because the central computer maintains a database which is used to determine each radio’s affiliation(s).
Setting the Squelch Since Squelch is automatically adjusted in trunking mode, it isn’t necessary to manually adjust the squelch control while trunk tracking. However, the squelch setting you select before you begin trunk tracking can affect how fast your scanner acquires the data channel, and, in some instances, the squelch setting can prevent your scanner from acquiring the data channel at all. Set SQUELCH in this position before selecting a trunking bank.
The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10 available banks in your scanner. 1. Press and hold T. You will hear two beeps, and BANK and TRUNK will begin to flash in the display. 2. Choose the bank you want to trunk track. For example, press 2. 3. Use the keypad to enter a frequency for the trunked system. BANK TRUNK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 6 7 8 9 10 For example, enter 856.2625, or enter a frequency of the system you’re going to track.
4. Press either M or) to select the next channel in the bank. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all frequencies have been entered. 6. Press R to begin searching the bank you’ve programmed. BANK TRUNK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Note: You will see the frequencies quickly displaying as your scanner looks for the data channel which controls the system.
If you have programmed frequencies for a trunked system in one or more of the 10 available banks and you are in conventional mode, follow these steps to begin trunk searching: 1. Press T. The bank indicators begin to flash. 2. Use the keypad to select the trunked bank you want. For example press 2. BANK TRUNK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Note: You will see the frequencies quickly displaying as your scanner looks for the data channel which controls the system.
ID Hold Mode During Search mode, you can hold on an ID without entering it into memory. 1. Press H while in Search mode. 2. Use the keypad to enter the ID you want. 3. Press H again. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 HOLD flashes in the display. 4. Press R to return to Search mode. Note: The ID Hold mode works in Scan List mode, and the steps are the same; however, SRCH doesn’t appear in 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 encrypt their communications, and you may want to lock out these unintelligible broadcasts. To lockout an ID, press O when the ID displays. The ID is locked out, and the next active ID displays.
Restore all IDs To unlock all locked out IDs at once, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold O until you hear two short beeps. 2. Press E to unlock all the IDs at once. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Note: If you unlock all the IDs, then the Scan List Memory mode displays. Press S to scan the IDs stored in your Scan Lists or press R to return to the Search mode. For information about Scan Lists see page 46. 3. Press R to return to the Search mode.
Hold Mode Press H to hold on a particular ID in the display. This is where the trunk tracking effect is really noticeable. You can hold a specific talk group, such as fire department on-scene operations, no matter which frequency the group uses. ID Monitor Mode If you press and hold R until you hear two short beeps, you will select the ID Monitor mode. SRCH begins flashing in the display, and all active talk group IDs begin to display in succession.
■ The indicator which remains on, even if when there is no traffic, represents the frequency being used as the data channel. ■ If an indicator turns on and you don’t hear a conversation, then the channel is probably being used for a telephone interconnect call or a private call. These calls are not monitored by your scanner. ■ The indicator which flashes when an ID displays represents the frequency being used by the talk group.
Scan Lists Each bank of your BC 235XLT can be a trunk tracking bank or it can be a conventional scanning bank. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 5 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 50 IDs for each trunk tracking bank (500 if you use all banks as trunking banks!). Scan Lists help you organize the trunking system users into categories.
4. Enter the Type II ID you want to store, and press E. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 —or— To enter a Type I ID: a. Enter the fleet number. b. Press .. c. Enter the subfleet number, and press E. Note: To clear a mistake while entering an ID, press . twice, and start over. 5. Press M or) to select the next Scan List location. 6. Press S to begin scanning the lists you have programmed.
8. To restore a Scan List to active scanning, press its number again. 9. Press R to return to Trunk Tracking Search mode. To alternate your display between the trunking repeater indicators and the Scan List indicators, press P. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 8 9 10 OR Programming Scan Lists During Search To select a Scan List location and store an ID during Search mode, follow these steps: 1.

Fleet Map Programming If you have programmed a trunk tracking bank and select R, you will see user IDs display on your screen. Since the BC 235XLT 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 system. See Types of Trunking Systems on page 35. You may also notice that you’re missing responses when you hold on an active ID.
If you are in Trunking Scan mode: 1. Press T to return to conventional mode if you have been monitoring a trunking bank. 2. Press and hold T until you hear two short beeps. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 BANK TRUNK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 BANK TRUNK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 BANK TRUNK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 BANK TRUNK You’ll hear two short beeps and BANK and TRUNK will begin to flash in the display. 3.

User Defined Fleet Maps Type I Programming Information When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the IDs is divided into 8 equal sized blocks, numbered 0–7. 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’ll 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.
If you don’t already know the size codes used, you’ll have to guess at them. But since you don’t have to figure out all the blocks at once, this isn’t as hard as it seems. Select a size code for a block, and then press R. Now listen to the communications. If you decide you are receiving most of the replies to the conversations with IDs assigned to the block you just programmed, then you’ve probably selected the right size code and can work on the next block of the map.
Size Code Restrictions If you select size code S-12, S-13, or S-14, there are some restrictions as to which blocks can be used for these codes. S-12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4, or 6. S-13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4. S-14 can only be assigned to Block 0. Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will be prompted for the next available block when programming a Fleet Map.
Precautions Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following: EARPHONE WARNING! Be sure to use only the recommended optional monaural earphone (EP009). You may also use a 32Ω stereo headset. Use of an incorrect earphone or stereo headset may be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.
