1 ..-- Introduction The UBC9000XL T is a sophisticated information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. You can use it at home as a base unit, or install in your vehicle as a mobile unit. The UBC9000XL T can store frequencies such as, police, fire/emergency, marine, air, weather, and other broadcasts into 20 banks of 25 channels each. The ne[...]

Feature Highlights . Twin Turbo Scan/Search - This lightning-fast technology enables the UBC9000XL T to scan up to 100 channels per second and search up to 300 steps per second (in 5kHz steps). Because the frequency coverage is so large (see "Specifications," page 53, for band listing), a very fast scanning system is essential. That is wh[...]

.-- - I What is Scanning? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously. The UBC9000XL T scans programmed channels at the rate of up to 100 channels per second until it finds an active frequency. Scanning stops on an active frequency, and remains on that channel as long as the trans[...]
