8 The FCC Wants You to Know According to the Electronic Communications Pr ivacy Act (ECP A), you are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for in tentionally listening to, using, or divulging the content s of such a conver sation unless you have the consent of a p arty to the conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal).
9 Introduction Introduction Y our SC230 scanner is a state-of-the-art scanne r radio with automatic scanning capab ilities. Y ou can store fre- quencies such as racing, police, fire/emergency , marine, air , and other communicat ions into the scanner .
10 Introduction Frequency Range (MHz) Ste p (kHz) Mode T ransmission 29.7-49.990 10 NFM VHF Low Band 50.0-54.0 20 NFM 6 Meter Amateur Band 108.0- 136.9750 25 AM Aircraft Band 137.0- 143.9875 12.5 NFM Military Band 144.0- 147.995 5N F M 2 M e t e r Amateur Band 148.
11 Feature Highlights Feature Highlight s General Close Call TM RF Capture T echnology - you can set the scanner so it detects and pr ovides information about nearby radio transm issions. See “Using the Close Call Feature” on Pa ge 72 for more information.
12 Feature Highlights CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes – prevent interference from st ations not using the mode you select. Dropout Delay – Y ou can set whether the scanner pauses at the en d of a transmi ssion to wait for a reply . Y ou can set the delay time for each system you scan, and while searching and using the Close Call feature.
13 Feature Highlights Memory Backup – If power is lost or disconnected, the scanner ret ains the frequencies you programme d in its memory . 22 Bands – Includes 22 bands, with Aircraft and 800 MHz. Note : The scanner’s frequency coverage is not continuous and does not include the cellular teleph one band.
14 Feature Highlights Backlight and Power LCD Back Light – Makes the display easy to see in dim light. Y ou can adjust the back light so it tur ns on when you press a key , when squelch breaks during a transm ission, or manually . Low Battery Alert – The scanner alerts you if the batteries need to be recharge d or replaced.
15 Feature Highlights How the Scanner ’s Controls Are Represented in This Manual T o help navig ate the scanner ’s menus, the steps shown in this manual show the displays you see and the keys you press or control you operate to get a desired r esult.
16 Understanding Scanning Underst anding Scanning This section provides you with background on how scanning works. Y ou don’t really need to know all of this to use your scanner , but some background knowledge will help you get the most from your SC230.
17 Understanding Scanning lower and upper limit s you specify . When the scanner finds an active frequency , it stops on that frequen cy as long as the transmission last s. If you think the frequency is interesting, you can program it into the scanner ’s memory .
18 Understanding Scanning Y ou can search for the following CT CSS frequencies and DCS codes. CTCSS Frequencies (Hz) DCS Codes (O ct al) 67.0 69.3 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.4 88.5 91.5 94.8 97.4 100.0 103.5 107.2 1 10.9 1 14.8 1 18.8 123.0 127.3 131.
19 Understanding Scanning Using the Scanner at the Racetrack Keeping up with the action at the racetrack is easy and fun. Y ou can hear drivers communicating with their pit crews, of ficials co mmunicati ng with drivers and crews, and track workers communicatin g with everybody .
20 Understanding Scanning When you want to store a conventio nal system, all you need to know is the frequencies they opera te on. When you are scanning a conven tional system, the scanner stop s very briefly on each channel to see if there is activity .
21 Understanding Scanning Information On The Internet The Internet is a gre at source for current frequencies and information about scanning. Many web site s have lists of frequencie s for your ar ea. Y ou can us e a search engine to find and use them.
22 Included With Your Scanner Included With Y our Scanner If any of these items are missing or damaged, immediately cont act your place of purchase or Uniden Customer Service at: (800) 297-1023, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Central, Monday through Friday .
