Introduction The UBC 245XL T is a state-of-the-art radio with T runkT racking™ and automatic scanning capabilities. It can store frequencies such as police, UHF CB, marine, railroad, air , amateur , and other communications into 10 banks of 30 channels each.
Important Notice ■ This scanning radio can be sold legally in Australia and New Zealand only . This unit may be illegal for sale in other countries. ■ The installation, possession, or use of this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require a permit in certain states, cities, and/or local jurisdictions.
T erminology What is Scanning? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications do not transmit continuously . The UBC 245XL T scans the channels you program until it finds an active frequency . Scanning stops on an active frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues.
In a trunked radio system, which contains up to 28 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 burst of data is broadcast before each transmission.
Feature Highlights ■ T runk T racking — Follow UHF High Band UHF 800/900 MHz trunked radio systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used. ■ Multi-T rack — T rack more than one trunking system at a time and scan conventional and trunked systems at the same time.
■ Battery Save — In manual mode, your scanner automatically reduces its power requirements to extend the battery™s charge. ■ Attenuator — Reduces the signal strength.

group, while others have access to many talk groups. The talk group (s) each radio can access is called the radio’s affiliation (s). 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.
EDACS Tracking TrunkTracker II 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 II listening to EDACS is remarkably easy, and perhaps even easier than conventional scanning.
Setting the Squelch Since Squelch is automatically adjusted in trunking mode, it isn’t necessary to manually adjust the squelch control while trunk tracking.
The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10 available banks in your scanner. 1. Press for 1.5 second. You will hear two beeps, and BANK and TRUNK will begin to flash in the display. 2. Select the Bank you want to store the frequency, by pressing 1 through 0.
4. Use the keypad to enter a frequency for the trunked system. For example, enter 856.2625 (Type 1), or enter a frequency of the system you’re going to track. Note: To clear a mistake while entering a frequency, press twice, and start over. Then press .
Searching a Trunked Bank If programming a Type I system, you cannot Scan the trunking bank you just programmed unless you enter talk groups into memory. See ahead for details. With the search function, you’ll be able to find all the active talk groups within the trunked system.
Frequency Find Mode Press the while a talk group ID is active and the display will flash the frequency on which that talk group is transmitting. Press and hold for two seconds and the display will automatically flash the ID and the frequency alternately until you set the condition by pressing the key again.
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.
Restore all IDs To unlock all locked out IDs at once, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold until you hear two short beeps. 2. Press to unlock all the IDs at once. Note: If you unlock all the IDs, then the Scan List Memory mode displays. Press to scan the IDs stored in your Scan Lists or press to return to the Search mode.
Hold Mode Press to hold on a particular ID in the display. You can hold a specific talk group, such as fire department on-scene operations, no matter which frequency the group uses.
Each frequency you program in a trunking bank corresponds to an activity indicator at the top of your scanner’s display. The way in which the Activity Indicators display provide you with information about the system you’re tracking.
Scan Lists Eac h ban k o f you r UB C 245XL T ca n b ea trun k tracking bank or it can be a conventional scanning bank. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite IDs.
3. Enter the Type II ID you want to store, and press . —OR— To enter a Type I ID: a. Enter the fleet number. b. Press . c. Enter the subfleet number, and press . —OR— To enter an EDACS ID: a. Enter ID you want to store. Use the for the “dash”.
