Search speed is selectable between 100 and 300 steps per second. (300 steps per second only in bands with 5 KHz steps.) Because the frequency coverage is so large (see previous section for band listing), very fast scanning and searching are essential. That is why we combined our latest technology - Twin Turbo - into the UBC 120XL T.
