Terminology  
What is Scanning?  
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way  
communications do not transmit continuously. The  
UBC3300XLT scans the Frequencies you have programmed  
into the Scanner’s 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 UBC3300XLT can search each of its 22 bands to find  
active frequencies. This is different from scanning because  
you are searching for frequencies that have not been  
programmed into your Scanner’s channels. The scanner  
automatically chooses between two speeds while searching.  
Turbo Search, can search the VHF FM bands at up to 300  
steps per second.  
What is Trunk Tracking?  
Conventional scanning is a simple concept. You enter a radio  
frequency in your scanner’s memory which is used by  
someone you want to monitor. For example, the police in your  
area may broadcast on 460.500 MHz, the fire department on  
154.445 MHz, the highway department on 37.900 MHz, etc.  
So when your scanner stops on a frequency, you usually  
know who it is, and more importantly, you can stop on a  
channel and listen to an entire conversation. This type of  
scanning is easy and fun.  
As the demand for public communications has increased,  
many public radio users don't have enough frequencies to  
meet their needs, and this has created a serious problem.  
Trunking radio systems solve this problem.  
In a trunked radio system, which contains up to 28 different  
frequencies, radio users are divided into groups, often called  
talkgroups, and these talkgroups are assigned specific IDs.  
When someone in a talkgroup uses their radio, a brief burst  
of data is broadcasted before each transmission. The trunking  
system computer uses this data to temporarily assign each  
radio in a talkgroup to an available frequency. If the group  
using a frequency stops broadcasting or pauses between

7
replies for a few seconds, they are removed from the  
frequency so another talkgroup can use it.  
Sharing of the available public service frequencies,  
or trunking, allows cities, counties, or other agencies  
to accommodate hundreds of users with relatively few  
frequencies. Following a conversation on a trunked system  
using a scanner is difficult, if not impossible. Because when  
there's a short break during the conversation you're  
monitoring, it’s possible that the talkgroup will be assigned  
to a completely different frequency in the trunked system.  
This type of scanning is difficult and frustrating.  
TrunkTracker III changes this! Not only does your new  
UBC3300XLT scan channels like a conventional scanner, it  
actually follows the users of a trunked radio system. Once you  
know a talkgroups ID, you won’t miss any of the action.  
If you're a new scanner enthusiast, you may want to read the  
first part of this manual and use your scanner in conventional  
mode before you begin trunk tracking. Understanding  
scanning fundamentals and its terminology will make trunk  
tracking much easier. A glossary of other commonly used  
terms is provided in the back. (Refer to the "Glossary of  
Terms" section.) But if you're already an experienced scanner  
operator, you may want to skip to Programming and  
Receiving Trunked Systems on page 45.

Feature Highlights  
Trunk Tracking – Follow VHF High Band UHF  
800/900MHz trunked public safety and public service  
systems just as if conventional two-way communications  
were used.  
Multi-Track – Track more than one trunking system  
at a time. Scan conventional and trunked systems at the  
same time.  
1000 Channels – Program one frequency into each  
channel. You must have at least one channel programmed  
to use the Scan mode.  
22 Bands – Includes 22 bands, with aircraft and 800 MHz.  
10 Banks – 10 banks with 100 channels each are useful for  
storing similar frequencies to maintain faster scanning  
cycles or for storing all the frequencies of a trunked system.  
25 MHz-1300 MHz – Indicates the range of frequencies that  
can be searched within the bands of your scanner.  
Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous.  
10 Priority Channels – You can assign one priority  
channel in each bank. Assigning a priority channel allows  
you to keep track of activity on your most important  
channel(s) while monitoring other channels for  
transmissions. You can also assign Trunking priority  
Talkgroups.  
Priority Plus Scan – Allows you to scan only priority  
channels.  
Unique Data Skip – Allows your scanner to skip unwanted  
data transmissions and reduces birdies.  
Memory Backup – If power is disconnected, the  
frequencies programmed in your scanner are retained  
in memory.  
Direct Channel Access – Go directly to any channel  
without entering the Menu mode.  
Attenuator – Reduces the signal strength on a per  
frequency basis.  
PC Programmable – Allows you to easily program all  
frequencies and Trunking Talk Groups into your  
UBC3300XLT from your PC.  
– Remote cable is optional.  
Turbo Search – Increases the search speed to 300 steps  
per second. This applies only to transmission bands with  
5 kHz steps.

Text Tags – You can customize your scanner by storing  
text tags (up to 16 characters).  
Auto Store – The scanner automatically stores found active  
frequencies into an assigned bank.  
CTCSS/DCS – The scanner can receive and search for  
subaudible tones.  
LCD Back-Light – LCD illuminates when you press the  
Light/Lock (  
) key. You can select the lighting length  
of time in the Menu mode.  
Battery Save – In Scan Hold mode and no transmission,  
your scanner automatically reduces its power requirements  
to extend the battery life.

Listening Safely  
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use  
an earphone or headphones.  
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended  
high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.  
• Set the VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin  
listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOLUME to a  
comfortable level.  
• Once you set the VOLUME, do not increase it. Over time,  
your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that  
does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.  
Connecting the (Optional) REMOTE Cable  
You can transfer the programmed channels, talk group ID’s,  
etc. to and from another UBC3300XLT scanner using a  
remote cable. See "Clone Mode" on page 73. You can also  
upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC.  
See "PC Control mode" on page 72.

Basic Operation  
Turn the Scanner On  
Turn the VOLUME control clockwise out of the detent  
position. The scanner automatically starts scanning.  
Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner  
initially, you may not receive any signals. Once you set the  
squelch and program some frequencies, you will begin  
hearing conversations regularly.You can select the type of the  
frequency when you turn the unit ON.  
Setting the Squelch  
To set the squelch, you must be in the hold mode, and you  
should not be receiving a signal on your scanner.  
1. Press HOLD/MAN until  
STRONG SIGNALS  
you do not hear a signal.  
MEDIUM SIGNALS  
2. Make sure that the  
WEAK SIGNALS  
VOLUME is set to a  
comfortable listening level.  
NOISE  
3. Think of the Squelch  
Control as a gate.  
Turn the SQUELCH  
control fully counter-  
clockwise. This raises the  
STRONG SIGNALS  
MEDIUM SIGNALS  
"Squelch Gate" so high  
that only very strong  
WEAK SIGNALS  
signals can get through.  
NOISE  
4. Turn SQUELCH clockwise  
until you hear a hiss. This  
lowers the "Squelch Gate"  
so that everything gets  
through – noise, weak  
STRONG SIGNALS  
signals, medium signals  
MEDIUM SIGNALS  
and strong signals.  
WEAK SIGNALS  
5. Turn SQUELCH back  
NOISE  
counter-clockwise just until  
the hiss stops. Now the  
"Squelch Gate" allows  
only clear signals through.

Next you must program some frequencies (page 26). It is  
recommended that you read the next part "Understanding the  
Menu System" because it will assist you in accessing and  
understanding many of the features. Later in a section called  
"Additional Features", you will find explanations on how to  
disable the keypad acknowledgement tones, mute the audio,  
change the appearance of the display and other general  
features.  
Understanding the Menu System  
It is very important for you to understand the Menu screen.  
To navigate through the Menu screen is really quite simple.  
Many of the features of this scanner, can only be accessed by  
the Menu screens. There are several ways to get through the  
screens. First of all, press MENU/BACK to get started.  
Anytime you want to exit this mode or simply quit from where  
you are, repeatedly press MENU/BACK until the scanner  
returns to the original state or you can press SCAN or  
SEARCH to exit directly out of Menu mode. Anytime you are  
in the Menu mode, the audio will be muted.  
To assist you in understanding the Menu screen, flow charts  
are provided towards the back of the manual so you can  
follow along. Two things to remember are rotate the VFO  
through the menu and press E to execute the command.  
For simplicity, we have chosen to rotate the VFO control up or  
down in order to scroll through the menu and the E key for  
entering or executing a command. Once you have pressed  
the E key and executed the final choice (for instance, ONor  
OFF), the display backs up to the previous level of options.  
Also direct entry of the numbers in the flow chart will get you  
through the screens, but the other screen options are not  
visible. This method should be used only after you have gone  
through the manual at least once. Tearout shortcut cards (see  
pages 4 and 5) are provided to assist you in the direct entry  
methods for commonly used features.  
The illustration on the next page shows the first level of the  
Menu screen. These levels are then provided in a flow chart  
on pages 91 to 93. You will find a description section to  
explain the meanings of these functions on the next pages.  
Then, you will be walked through all the steps of  
programming, scanning, searching, and trunktracking.  
Hint: You can check the various options you programmed  
on the display when you press and hold  
MENU/BACK for 2 seconds in the following modes.  
• Scan mode/Scan Hold mode (as well as Trunk  
mode).  
• Chain Search mode/Chain Search Hold mode

3:SYSTEM OPTION  
Menu Description and Numeric Keypad  
Equivalents  
Below are the Menu screens and a brief description or  
purpose of the feature.  
1:SERVICE OPTION  
1:AIR  
The Air Service Search feature allows you to scroll  
through the preprogrammed services.  
2:CHAIN SEARCH  
You can program up to 10 search ranges. The first  
time you program a range you will need to do so  
through the Menu. After the first time you can  
program a range as you do on most any other  
scanner, using the numeric keypad or VFO control.  
Use this Menu item to select the search range that  
you want to program. You can program range 1  
through 10, one at a time. For each of the ranges,  
the following options can be modified.  
1:CHAIN SEARCH  
You must turn Chain Search feature ON, in  
order to use the Chain Search feature.  
2:SEARCH RANGE  
1:RANGE  
Enter the upper and lower frequency  
limits of the Search Range.  
2:STEPS  
You can assign a variety of step sizes  
to the search range.  
Note: The default step is usually  
acceptable and is listed on  
page 1.  
3:MODE  
You can change the Auto receive  
mode to AM, FM, WFM, NFM.

17  
4:ALPHA TAG  
You can enter an Alpha Tag for any  
or all of the search ranges.  
5:TRUNK  
During Chain Search mode, when the  
scanner finds an active frequency.  
The trunk tracking system will be  
active. Four frequency plans apply to  
the Control Channel Only feature (for  
details see page 69).  
3:DELAY  
Set the delay for the search ranges to 1:ON  
or 2:OFF. This applies to Search mode  
(See 2:SCAN OPTION/  
1:CONVENTIONAL/ 2:DELAY  
for details).  
4:ATTENUATOR  
Set attenuation for all search ranges.  
(See 2:SCAN  
OPTION/1:CONVENTIONAL/  
5:ATTENUATORfor details).  
5:TONE DATA  
The default mode is 2:OFF. This means that  
you will receive all transmissions on any  
frequencies that are active within your search  
range(s). By selecting CTCSS or DCS you  
can set the radio to receive only a particular  
subaudible tone to be received during your  
search. You can also lockout a particular  
CTCSS or DCS tone. You may wish to do this  
if you want to search a range but not hear  
transmissions on any frequency that has a  
particular subaudible tone.  
Note: Through the System Menu you can set  
the radio to operate in Tone Search  
mode during Search as well. In this  
mode, the radio will automatically  
determine the active subaudible tone  
on any frequency received during the  
search.  
6:AUTO STORE  
You can automatically store active  
frequencies found during a search into the  
memory. You can select which bank you want  
to program the found frequencies. The audio  
will be muted during Auto Store.

18  
2:SCAN OPTION  
1:CONVENTIONAL  
Choose the channel number. The following options  
are available for the selected channel only.  
Repeat using a different channel number, if  
necessary.  
1:FREQUENCY  
Allows you to edit or enter a frequency in  
each channel you select.  
Also you can set an alphanumeric text tag for  
each programmed frequency.  
2:DELAY  
The delay for all programmed channels is  
2 seconds. At the end of any transmission  
the scanner will remain on the frequency for  
2 seconds before resuming scanning.  
This will allow you to catch most replies.  
3:TONE DATA  
You can set a CTCSS (analog) or DCS  
(digital) subaudible tone for a frequency.  
To do so you must have the SQ Mode in the  
System Menu set to Tone SQ. You can also  
program a subaudible tone easily by pressing  
the E key in Scan Hold mode after  
programming a frequency. This will bring up  
the Tone Data menu without having to  
navigate the Menu. By doing this you will  
receive all transmissions on the frequency,  
regardless of the subaudible tone, except the  
one which you have locked. Any transmissions  
with that tone will not be received.  
4:BEEP ALERT  
You can set a Beep Alert on a per-channel  
basis to alert you when specific frequencies  
are active. For example, you may wish to be  
alerted anytime a mutual aid fire frequency  
is active. With Beep Alert, you will hear three  
beeps at the start of each transmission that  
you have flagged as such. You will also  
notice that as you scroll pass the flagged  
channel(s), you will hear three beeps.  
5:ATTENUATOR  
The UBC3300XLT comes with an RF  
Attenuation feature. If you are near an  
unusually strong signal source, the signal  
may overload the scanner. The scanner may  
stop repeatedly on that signal and miss other  
transmissions.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
19  
The RF Attenuation feature works in all  
modes and attenuates (reduces) the incoming  
signal strength to prevent stronger signals  
from overloading the scanner.  
6:STEPS  
Your UBC3300XLT is programmed with  
default step sizes for each frequency range  
(see page 1). Steps are important if you are  
interested in using the VFO to tune off from a  
frequency programmed into memory or if you  
wish to program a frequency that the default  
step size will not accept.  
7:MODE  
Default Auto receive modes are also  
programmed into memory. AM for aircraft, for  
example. You can change the default settings  
on a per-channel basis with this Menu item.  
2:TRUNK  
Choose the Trunk bank. The following options are  
available for the selected trunk bank only. Repeat  
using a different trunk bank, if necessary.  
1:TRUNK TYPE  
You will need to assign the correct trunking  
type for the bank you are about to program.  
If you want to listen to a Motorola Type I  
system, you will need to use this Menu option  
to assign the same. If you do not know the  
type of trunking system you are about to  
monitor, refer to the guide included with the  
scanner or check out www.bearcat1.com.  
Note: Some trunking systems require that you  
know the channel order. In these cases  
you will also need to start programming  
the trunked system at the start of the  
bank. The scanner defaults to the most  
common type of trunking system,  
Motorola Type II 800.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
20  
2:TRUNK CHANNEL  
1:FREQUENCY  
To use Trunk Tracking, you need to  
program a frequency for at least one  
channel. Also you can enter an alpha  
tag for each channel in this Menu.  
2:STEPS  
You can assign a variety of step sizes  
to the channel.  
3:TALK GROUP  
You can program IDs into the Scan List  
memory either during Trunk Scan or Search  
without going into the Menu. However, you  
can also use the Menu to program IDs.  
This is particularly helpful when you are not  
near the trunked system you wish to later  
monitor. You can set it up and have it ready  
to go at some later time. After you have  
selected the Scan List location (1-10), you  
can then do the following:  
1. Program ID number  
2. Set an alpha tag  
3. Assign a Beep Alert to the ID. Whenever  
that ID is active, you will hear three beeps  
at the start of the transmission.  
4:DELAY  
You can set a delay for a trunk system on a  
bank by bank basis. The delay time is 2  
seconds, and this setting can not be changed.  
5:ID LIST TAG  
Assign an alphanumeric tag to any or all of  
the 10 Scan Lists for the system. During ID  
Scan Mode, you will see the ID List Tag (on  
the bottom text line) along with any alpha tag  
you may have set for an ID. In Search mode,  
you will see any Bank Tag you have set.  
6:L/O ID REVIEW  
Use this Menu item to review the IDs that you  
have locked out during Search and Scan.  
Rotate the VFO up or down to view the IDs  
that have been locked out. To leave the  
lockout IDs unchanged, press MENU/BACK  
to back out of the Menu. To unlock an ID,  
press the L/O key. To unlock all the IDs that  
have been locked out, press and hold the L/O  
key for about 2 seconds.

21  
7: ACTIVITY ID  
When activity ID is set to ON, your scanner  
receives any transmissions on the ID every  
0.5 seconds while scanning.  
8:I-CALL (MOTOROLA/EDACS)  
Most communications within a trunked system  
are group calls where one unit (such as a  
dispatcher) communicates with all the units  
within his/her group (all the patrol vehicles on  
the east side of town, for example). The units  
within this group comprise what is typically  
known as a talkgroup. There are some  
communications which are direct unit-to-unit  
conversations where one individual converses  
with another individual. The call is initiated by  
a radio and is directed to another single radio.  
Within the system, no one outside of these  
two users hears the conversation.  
Your UBC3300XLT defaults to I-CALL OFF  
mode. You can hear these conversations by  
using this Menu item to turn the I-CALL  
function to ON. In Search mode, with I-CALL  
ON, you will hear both talkgroup calls and I-  
CALLs. You can also set I-CALLs to I-CALL  
ONLY during which you will monitor only I-  
CALLs in Search mode. You can also  
program I-CALL IDs into Scan List memory.  
OR  
8:ID SCAN LIST (LTR)  
When scanning an LTR system you can only  
turn Scan Lists OFF and ON when an LTR  
talk group that you have entered into memory  
is active. To provide you with another method  
to turn Scan Lists ON and OFF, you can use  
this Menu item which only appears when you  
have selected LTR in trunk type.  
9:EMERGENCY ALT (EDACS)  
In EDACS trunked systems, you can set an  
alert for an EDACS transmission received.  
Set Emergency Alert to ON, EMERGENCY  
flashes on the display and you will hear beep  
alerts when you receive an EDACS  
emergency transmission.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
22  
9:STATUS BIT (MOTOROLA)  
On Type 2 trunking systems there is a  
method by which specialized types of  
communications utilize unique talkgroup  
numbers. An emergency call will occur on  
a unique talkgroup from its primary  
assignment, for example. Because the  
UBC3300XLT defaults to Status-Bit ON  
mode, you never need to worry about missing  
these transmissions. If you've programmed  
talkgroup 33264 into Scan List memory, for  
example, and there is an emergency call  
within the group, you will hear it on 33264.  
0:EDACS ID FORM (EDACS)  
You can change to display the talkgroups in  
decimal mode, but this mode does not  
provide you with the flexibility that you get  
with AFS. The UBC3300XLT defaults to show  
the talkgroup number in AFS mode (Agency-  
Fleet-Subfleet). For details on AFS see pages  
61~63.  
OR  
0:END CODE (MOTOROLA)  
When this function is disabled, the radio looks  
for squelch before returning to the control  
channel instead of waiting for the disconnect  
tone. Only in rare instances will you need to  
adjust the default settings. The condition to  
return to control channels depends on  
whether a signal is present or not.  
:CNTRL CH ONLY  
(TYPE 1/TYPE 2 800, 900)  
With this mode you will be able to track  
Motorola Type I and II 800 and 900 MHz  
trunked systems by simply entering the  
control channel which manages the trunked  
system. You will not have to program the  
voice channels. There are 4 channel plans  
which you can select from.

23  
3:SYSTEM OPTION  
1:DIMMER  
Allows you to change the brightness of the display.  
Also you can change the lighting length of time.  
2:SCREEN MASK  
Screen Mask allows you to limit what appears on the  
display to the alpha tags that you have set for a  
channel along with a few function icons. Screen Mask  
removes the frequency, receiving mode tone data  
and signal strength bars. This mode is particularly  
useful in public safety vehicles where "information  
overload" is already a problem. Screen Mask does  
not work in Search mode.  
3:KEY BEEP  
Use this function to turn 2:OFFthe keypad  
acknowledgement beep. The default setting is 1:ON.  
4:ENTER LOCK  
Use Enter Lock to prevent accidental re-programming  
of channels, tone (CTCSS/DCS) and talkgroups  
entered into memory. The default setting is 2:OFF.  
5:PC CONTROL  
Use this function to set the transfer speed (baud rate)  
at which your personal computer (PC) communicates  
with the scanner when downloading information into  
your scanner. See page 72 for details.  
6:CLONE  
You can clone all the programming, including  
frequencies, talkgroups and alpha tags as well as  
bank settings and other parameters from one  
UBC3300XLT to another UBC3300XLT.  
7:DATA SKIP  
A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it  
receives. This means the UBC3300XLT will  
occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated  
transmissions.  
You can automatically skip many of these types of  
transmissions with data skip turned ON.  
8:SQ MODE  
The SQ Mode allows you to set at your option,  
whether the scanner will stop on all active  
transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only  
respond to transmissions with a pre-set subaudible  
tone. This applies to both Conventional Search and  
Scan modes. The options are as follows:  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
24  
1. CSQ - The default setting is CSQ (carrier  
squelch). In this mode the scanner will stop on  
any transmission on a programmed frequency  
(Squelch mode does not apply to trunking).  
2. TONE SQ - In Tone Squelch mode, if you have  
set a subaudible tone (CTCSS or DCS) for a  
frequency, the scanner will only stop on that  
frequency if the transmission includes the  
prescribed tone.  
3. TONE SEARCH - In this mode, as soon as the  
scanner stops on any (non-trunked) channel, the  
scanner will begin to search for any subaudible  
tone that is being used on a transmitted  
frequency. The scanner will check each CTCSS  
tone sequentially and it will find DCS tones  
instantly.  
9:BANK TAG  
Allows you to set an alphanumeric text tag for  
individual banks in the scanner (1-10). (The "0" key  
represents bank number 10.) For example, you may  
wish to set the bank one text tag as Law  
Enforcement, the second bank as Fire, etc.  
0:P-25 CARD  
Select 2:DISABLEin this mode.  
:BATTERY SAVE  
When you set Battery Save to ON in this Menu,  
Battery Save is active in Scan Hold mode (except  
Priority Scan mode).

Programming Tips  
• Group similar services into a bank. For example, program  
police frequencies in channels 1 through 10 and  
fire/emergency into channels 51 through 60, and so on.  
• Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most  
important frequency into a Priority channel.  
• To quickly program a series of channels, start with the  
lowest number channel.  
For example, when you are programming five new  
frequencies into channels 4 through 8, start with channel  
4. After you finish programming a channel, rotate the VFO  
up to go to the next higher channel.  
• Write down your programmed channels and frequencies  
and put them in a convenient place in case of accidental  
reprogramming.  
• Frequencies are rounded off according to the step of each  
channel.  
• When you are overwriting a tagged channel with a new  
frequency, the previous alpha tag will be deleted. You must  
re-enter the alpha tag.  
• When programming frequencies, a 2 second delay is set  
automatically and can not be changed.

either no subaudible tone has been programmed or for  
which the user-programmed subaudible tone is also active.  
• Tone Search mode  
During any transmission, the scanner will begin searching  
all possible subaudible tones, one of which may also be in  
use. The scanner counts up through the CTCSS tones and  
instantly determines any possible DCS tone. See page 90  
for a listing of the tones that the UBC3300XLT decodes.  
Note: When Tone Search is active in Scan mode, once the  
CTCSSor DCSdisplay flashes a tone repeatedly  
(meaning that it has found the tone match), you can  
press E to program that frequency with the captured  
tone. When you change the mode to Tone SQ from  
Tone Search that frequency and tone will be

Programming and

Trunked Systems  
There are three steps for programming a trunked system:  
1. Program the Trunk Type – What type of system will the  
scanner be tracking, Motorola Type II, Type I, EDACS,  
LTR, etc.  
2. Program the Trunked Frequencies – Within a trunked  
system, the frequencies are shared among all the users,  
called “Talk Groups”.  
• Within the bank you decide which channels to program  
the trunked frequencies.  
3. Program the Talk Groups – Within the trunked system,  
each agency or department is assigned a Talk Group ID.  
This ID must be programmed into the scanner in order to  
monitor that specific agency or department.  
• When programming you decide which “Location” to  
program the “Talk Groups”. This is similar to how you  
program frequencies into channels. Here you need to  
program Talk Group ID’s into Locations.  
STEP 1:  
Selecting or Changing Trunking System Type  
Before using the Trunk Tracking system, you must select the  
bank and trunk type. You can only track one trunked system

STEP 3:  
Programming ID Scan Lists Manually  
Scan Lists  
Each bank of your UBC3300XLT can be a trunk tracking bank  
and 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  
Talk Group IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you  
can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk tracking bank.  
(1000 if you use all the banks as trunking banks!)  
Scan Lists help you organize the trunking system users into  
categories. For example, you might use List#1 for police IDs,  
List#2 for fire department IDs, List#3 for emergency medical  
service IDs, etc. Once IDs are stored in lists, you can scan  
them like you scan conventional frequencies and you can  
lockout any one (up to 9) of the 10 scan lists by pressing the  
corresponding numeric key. When an ID is active, the scan list  
number will appear on the display. You can program your  
Scan Lists either manually or during Trunking Search mode.  
Check the web site www.bearcat1.com/free.htm for a  
complete list of talkgroups for your area that you can program  
into your Scan Lists.  
In order to program Talk Group ID’s, you must first complete  
Step 1 – “Selecting or Changing Trunking System Type”,

Setting the Squelch  
For trunked reception, a good setting for  
the SQUELCH control is in the center of the  
range with the color marker pointing up.  
See the illustration.  
If it is set too high (CCW) in some cases it could prevent your  
scanner from locking to the Control Channel reliably. If it is set  
too low (CW) it will slightly delay finding the Control Channel.  
The best setting is the same as for conventional reception,  
and is not critical.  
Receiving Trunked Systems  
When you have properly programmed all the frequencies for a  
trunked system, you can receive the system in several  
different ways. You will find that Search, Hold, Lockout,  
Scan and Delay are all similar to conventional scanning.  
ID SCAN lets you receive those talkgroups that you  
store in Scan Lists.  
ID SCAN HOLD lets you selectively listen to a  
talkgroup in your Scan Lists.  
TRUNKED SEARCH lets you hear all system talkgroup  
activity (unit-to-unit I-Calls may be received as well).  
This is the best way to get started.  
ID SEARCH HOLD works with Search mode to let you  
quickly freeze reception on an interesting transmission.  
Or you can manually specify a talkgroup with Direct  
Entry in ID Hold.  
ID LOCKOUT works with Search and Scan to exclude  
talkgroups that you don't want to hear.  
ID DELAY works with each talkgroup to be delayed for  
2 seconds when the communication ends.  
When receiving EDACS systems, remember that Uniden's  
AFS talkgroups give you powerful flexibility. In a few key  
presses, you can specify a single talkgroup, a fleet, or an  
entire agency in all the above modes. Read the section  
"EDACS Reception" to understand how this works.  
Hint: If the scanner is not in the Trunking mode, you can  
enter the Trunk Programming mode by pressing  
TRUNK. Pressing TRUNK in the Trunking mode will  
move to the Scan Hold mode.

Note: One Scan List must always be active. If you try and  
deactivate all the Scan Lists, Scan List 1 will  
automatically be active.  
3. To restore a Scan List to active scanning, press its  
number again.  
4. Press SEARCH to return to Trunk Tracking Search mode.  
Remember! When you press and hold TRUNK for 2  
seconds, you can switch Trunk Tracking modes (Scan or

Once you have programmed all the frequencies for a trunked  
system, Search will let you immediately start hearing  
transmissions.  
Press SCAN, and select the bank(s) you wish to receive, just  
as you select banks in conventional scanning and ID  
scanning.  
Hint:  
Press and hold RSM for 2 seconds, the scanner will  
move to the next trunking bank.  
Talkgroups display differently in Motorola, EDACS and LTR  
systems. You should read the appropriate parts of this guide  
to understand the formats.  
The display indicates the bank and the type of trunked system  
you are monitoring. You can change this to display a bank tag  
by using the System Option menu.  
Regardless of the system, you won't know exactly who you  
are receiving until you listen for a while, or refer to frequency  
guides or internet sites such as www.bearcat1.com.  
Of course, figuring out who each ID represents is half the fun  
of TrunkTracking.  
Later, when you learn more about a system, you will want to  
store lists of talkgroups. Then you can scan specific agencies  
and users, and use the many other features your radio  
provides.

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  
encumber their communications, and you may want to lock  
out these unintelligible broadcasts.  
To Lockout an ID, press L/O when the  
ID you want to lockout displays.

The ID is locked out. You can  
Lockout up to 200 IDs.  
Note: If you Lockout an ID in Search mode, it is also locked  
out in Scan List mode.  
Conversely, if you Lockout an ID while in Scan List  
mode, it is locked out in Search mode. For information  
about Scan Lists see page 47.  
EDACS BLOCKOUT is a powerful form of ID LOCKOUT  
that can be used only with AFS and EDACS systems. This  
feature lets you lockout entire Agencies or Fleets, not just  
individual talkgroups. Using ID BLOCKOUTyou can, for  
example, prevent Search from stopping on any of hundreds of

Setting Priority in Trunking Mode  
You can set priority in your trunking lists, just as you do in  
your conventional ones. You can set the priority by pressing  
and holding PRI for 2 seconds in ID Scan Hold mode.  
After you’ve set up your Scan List, press PRI to activate it.  
It’s very similar to conventional priority although there is no  
"interrupt" during the transmissions. Priorities are checked in  
between transmissions.  
With Priority ON, you can hold on an ID in your Scan List,  
such as Scan List 6, memory position 7, and the scanner will  
check all the priorities in all the active Scan Lists in between  
any transmissions on the ID on which you’re holding. The  
lowest numbered priority will be checked first. For example,  
the Priority ID in List 1 will be checked before the Priority in  
List 2, etc.  
Note: This function does not work in LTR tracking.

VFO to move to up or down.  
2. Or, press HOLD/MAN in the ID Scan mode, next press  
0-9 (scan list number), then press 0-9 (memory position).  
For example to move to Scan List 4, memory position 10,  
press: HOLD/MAN, 4, 0, HOLD/MAN  
Set Activity ID to ON, when your scanner finds an active ID  
during a transmission the active ID appears every 0.5  
seconds.  
I-Call (Motorola/EDACS)  
I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard  
by other system users. Your UBC3300XLT can receive these  
transmissions. How you receive I-Calls depends on whether  
you are in Search or Scan mode.  
During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID  
number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not  
a talkgroup. Unit IDs will display differently according to the  
type of trunked system, and will replace the n's shown here.  
EDACS and MOTOROLA TYPE 1  
MOTOROLA TYPE 2  
innnnn  
7nnnnn  
Hint -- There are thousands of Unit IDs in typical systems,  
but relatively few I-Calls at a given moment, so it is  
normally best to let the scanner receive any I-Calls  
without trying to specify particular units.  
I-CALLS IN SEARCH MODE  
In Search mode, the scanner default is that I-Call reception is  
OFF. This means that I-Calls will not be received until you  
program them to be ON. You have three choices for  
controlling I-Call reception. Through the Menu system, go to  
2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK - select bank number -/  
8:I-CALL, and make your selection.  
The menu choices are:  
I-CALLs  
TALKGROUPS  
1
ON  
YES  
Received normally Use this choice to receive I-Calls  
together with normal  
talkgroup traffic.  
2
3
OFF Not received Received normally This is the default.  
ONLY YES  
NOT RECEIVED  
Use this setting to listen to I-Calls,  
and block all talkgroup reception.  
For quick access to this mode,  
.
press  
(decimal) then RSM.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
57  
You can hold any I-Call IDs. Because you can only hold on  
one ID, and there are two IDs involved in any I-Call  
communication (the transmitting and the receiving units), you  
might not hear the full conversation, but you probably will.  
In Search mode, when you hear an interesting I-Call,  
.
you can enter the instant shortcut  
(decimal key)  
then RSM to enter I-Call Only mode. This blocks all  
talkgroup traffic and lets you hear just the I-Call.  
To return to normal reception, you must use the Menu  
system to select the ONor OFFoption.  
Note: When storing I-Call IDs, remember that the ID will be  
for only one of the units – either the transmitting or  
receiving unit. Unless you specifically want to receive a  
certain ID, it might be better to use the special code in  
the HINT below.  
I-CALLS IN SCAN AND HOLD MODE  
You can store I-Call IDs in Scan Lists, just like talkgroup IDs,  
for use by ID Scan and Scan Hold modes. To program a  
specific I-Call Unit ID into a Scan Lists:  
EDACS or Motorola Type 1  
.
Press  
(decimal key) followed by the Unit ID digits,  
then E.  
Motorola Type 2  
Press 7 followed by the Unit ID digits, then E.  
HINT - There is a special code to let you receive all I-Call  
.
IDs with a single Scan Lists entry. Simply press  
(decimal key), 0, E. This will store the special code  
i0in an EDACS Scan Lists, or 700000in a  
Motorola Scan Lists. Then, whenever you Scan this  
entry, or select it in Hold mode, the scanner will  
receive any active I-Calls, regardless of the Unit IDs.  
Note: Motorola I-CALL tracking performance may vary  
between systems.  
Multi-Track  
The UBC3300XLT allows you to track more than one system  
at a time. Here are some highlights of this feature:  
You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at  
one time.  
You can trunk, scan, or search and scan conventional  
frequencies at the same time.  
You can program conventional frequencies in the same  
bank as trunking systems.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
58  
After the scanner finishes checking a trunked system  
for activity, it will conventionally scan the other  
frequencies in the bank (remember, only trunking  
frequencies are programmed in Trunk mode).  
To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select the  
banks you wish to be active, and then press SCAN. The  
scanner will instantly begin scanning. If you have not  
programmed a trunking bank with talkgroup ID’s, you will  
receive NO ID (----)message for that bank.  
You can switch to Search mode and the scanner will search  
for any active ID’s on the system.  
Note: To switch ID Scan or ID Search, press and hold  
TRUNK in the trunked system.  
Multi-Track Operational Details  
When more than one trunk system is active (for example two  
or more trunked systems or a trunked system and one or  
more conventional frequencies), the radio jumps between  
systems/frequencies as follows:  
TRUNK SCAN: The scanner moves to a trunked system  
and looks for IDs in your Scan List(s) for up to 1 second.  
If it finds no activity on your programmed talkgroups, it  
moves on to conventional channels in the same bank or to  
the next active bank.  
If the scanner finds that a talkgroup in one of your active  
Scan Lists, you will begin to hear that communication and  
the scanner will of course display the proper talkgroup  
number and any alpha tag. When the communication  
ends, the scanner will wait for 2 seconds for any further  
replies and, if none, the scanner will move to the  
conventional channels in the same bank or to the next  
bank. The scanner will not look for any other IDs within the  
same trunked system (as this would slow the scan  
process). If you press RSM while you are listening to one  
ID, the scanner will check to see if another ID in your Scan  
List is active. It will disregard the ID to which you were just  
monitoring.  
TRUNK SEARCH: This mode works similarly to Trunk  
Scan. If the scanner finds any (non-locked-out) ID when  
it checks the control channel, you will hear it. You will then  
hear any replies that follow within 2 seconds. After that the  
scanner will move on and not continuously search the  
system for additional IDs (on busy systems you would never  
leave the system if this were the case). If you press the  
RSM key while monitoring one ID, the radio will check if any  
other IDs are active (it will disregard the ID you just left),  
and if none are active, it will move on.

EDACS® Reception  
EDACS® Tracking  
TrunkTracker III 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 III listening to EDACS(s) is  
remarkably easy, and perhaps even easier than conventional  
scanning.  
EDACS systems use 'Transmission Trunking', which means  
that each transmission is assigned a new frequency. As the  
conversation moves through the system's frequencies, your  
TrunkTracker III automatically follows it.  
This chart shows a 30 second sample of EDACS  
transmissions. Eight different talkgroups are using the system  
as their transmissions switch between the thirteen system  
frequencies.  
Notice how the dotted line shows talkgroup 02-023 moving  
from channel to channel. Your UBC3300XLT can clearly and  
automatically follow this talkgroup, or any other, as you select.  
EDACS systems are organized in a logical way that keeps  
related talkgroups together. Your scanner is designed to take  
maximum advantage of this organization to make your  
scanning easy. It lets you zero in on just the part of the  
system you want to hear, whether it is an individual channel  
or an entire department or city.  
Programming EDACS System Frequencies  
When you program EDACS frequencies, it is critical that you  
store each one in the CORRECT LOCATION. By the nature  
of EDACS systems this is necessary for tracking. This often is  
not the frequency order, so you must be sure you have the  
right sequence.

An EDACS® Trunked system  
This chart shows how talkgroups are  
organized within an EDACS system  
at the Agency level. The individual  
talkgroups cannot be shown at this  
scale because there are over 2000.  
However the chart can show the 16  
Agencies in this example. The system is  
logical and easy to understand. EDACS  
systems are typically arranged in an  
outline structure.  
The system users are given blocks of  
talkgroups. Sizes vary but most large  
cities and other agencies have blocks of  
128 channels. Smaller cities have only  
64 or 32 channels.  
In this example, the County Sheriff is  
agency 01. The city of Sullivan is  
Agency 03. Adams Hill and Matthew  
Junction share Agency 08.  
Your scanner shows EDACS talkgroups  
in AFS (Agency-Fleet-Subfleet) format.  
This helps you see, at a glance, who  
you are monitoring. And with the partial-  
entry feature you can easily include  
nearby, related channels in the same  
Fleet or Agency. You can just as easily  
exclude entire unwanted Fleets and  
Agencies.  
When in Search mode, with the system frequencies  
programmed, and your scanner locked to the control channel,  
you can select a desired city by keying in the Agency part of  
the AFS talkgroup. For example, you can select the entire city  
.
of Sullivan with 4 key presses 0, 3,  
(decimal key),  
SEARCH.  
When you hear an interesting talkgroup, capture it to your  
Scan List by pressing TRNSFR and E during the  
transmission.  
Or hold on it by pressing the HOLD/MAN key.  
If you want to monitor the Sullivan Police Dispatch channel  
.
(which is talk group 03-062), press 0, 3,  
(decimal key),  
0, 6, 2, RSM or SCAN.  
Your scanner can also work in decimal format.  
This talkgroup in decimal format is 434. But decimal format does  
not give you any information about the system hierarchy.

For example Sullivan, in decimal, uses channels from 384 to  
511. This is not as easy to remember as Agency 03.  
But decimal is useful if you need to work from decimal talkgroup  
lists. To turn Emergency Alert ON/OFF, enter into the Menu  
mode. Select 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK-select bank

Special EDACS® Features  
AFS Partial Entry Feature  
AFS is Uniden's method of encoding EDACS talkgroups.  
AFS stands for 'Agency-Fleet-Subfleet'.  
AFS talkgroups are used in all EDACS reception -- in ID  
Search, ID Lockout and ID Scan Scan Lists. The powerful AFS  
Partial Entry feature designed into the UBC3300XLT lets you  
use either a complete talkgroup code, or just the most  
significant part.  
This feature lets you expand or  
narrow searching and  
scanning to one of 4 levels.  
By entering only the desired part  
of an AFS talkgroup,  
you can select 2048 talkgroups,  
128 talkgroups, 8 talkgroups, or a  
single talkgroup.  
For example, you could program every talkgroup in a police  
department with just 4 key presses. You can use the AFS  
Partial Entry feature anywhere that you need to specify  
EDACS talkgroup.  
Your UBC3300XLT can also enter or display EDACS  
talkgroups in decimal format (0-2047).  
Select 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK- select Bank  
number - / 0:EDCS ID FORMby rotating the VFO and  
pressing E. And change it to 2:DECIMALand press E. You  
can use this feature to translate decimal talkgroups lists to the  
much more powerful AFS format.  
Examples of how you might use AFS are shown above in the  
description of an EDACS trunked system, and elsewhere in  
this manual. It is very easy to use. Be sure to become familiar  
with AFS Partial Entry, and your scanning will become far  
more flexible and efficient.  
Emergency Call Alert  
Your UBC3300XLT alerts you when an EDACS Emergency  
transmission occurs.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
62  
EDACS systems often provide users with an 'Emergency'  
mode on their radios. Users in trouble can alert the dispatcher  
and other units and get priority access to the radio system.  
When a user activates Emergency mode, EMERGENCYwill  
flash the display during the entire transmission. At the  
beginning of each transmission it will sound a distinctive  
emergency alert tone three times. To turn Emergency Alert  
ON/OFF, enter into the Menu mode. Select 2:SCAN  
OPTION/ 2:TRUNK- select Bank number -  
9:EMERGENCY ALT/ 1:ONor 2:OFFby rotating the  
VFO and pressing E.  
Patch Tracking  
The UBC3300XLT can follow EDACS patched talkgroups.  
EDACS systems sometimes bring several talkgroups together  
in a 'Patch'. A patch might be used by a police agency at night  
to provide a single channel with a single dispatcher for a wide  
area. A patch is created when a single, temporary talkgroup  
substitutes for the original talkgroups. While the patch is  
running, which may be for hours or days, the original  
talkgroups cease to be used. If you were monitoring one of  
these talkgroups, you might think there was no traffic, but in  
fact the talkgroup was operating at the different temporary  
number.  
If a talkgroup in your Scan List is patched, your scanner will  
continue to receive it under its new identity until the patch has  
ended. When a patch is being received, the radio will display  
PATCH ID, and will show the temporary common talkgroup  
plus all the included talkgroups in a cycling display.  
The UBC3300XLT is limited to following two patches.  
The temporary talkgroups used for patches are usually found  
in AFS code 15-xxx, and sometimes 00-xxx.  
EDACS SCAT  
With the EDACS SCAT feature turned “ON”, the data stream  
transmissions will be eliminated allowing you to clearly  
monitor the voice communications on EDACS SCAT systems.  
To monitor EDACS SCAT systems you only need to turn this  
feature 8:EDCS SCT.ON with designated frequency.  
You do not need to enter group ID’s.  
Note: As EDACS SCAT is different from the other tracking  
feature, and it is not a feature which the scanner  
tracks any ID, you do not need to program Talk Group  
ID in the Menu mode.

LTR® Reception  
LTR® Tracking  
LTR® (Logic Trunked Radio) systems are trunking systems  
used primarily by business or private communications service  
providers, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair  
services. These systems encode all trunking information as  
digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission.  
Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups,  
which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.  
These numbers are in the form AHHUUU, where:  
A= Area code (0 or 1)  
H= Home repeater (01 through 20)  
U= User ID (000 through 254)  
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set  
to the LTR mode, it first decodes the LTR data included with  
the transmission. In the ID Search mode, the scanner stops  
on the transmission and displays the talkgroup ID on the  
display. In the ID Scan mode, the scanner only stops on the  
transmission if the LTR data matches a talkgroup ID that you  
have stored in the bank’s talkgroup ID list and have not  
locked out.  
LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each radio  
has a unique ID code.

Motorola Reception  
Motorola Tracking  
There are really two types of Motorola trunking systems.  
These are usually referred to as Type I and Type II systems.  
Type I only occurs on some 800 MHz systems. All VHF, UHF  
and 900 MHz trunking systems use Type II.  
One important distinction between these two systems is the  
amount of data transmitted by each radio when its push-to-  
talk button (PTT) is pressed. Every radio in a trunked system  
is assigned a unique ID so the central site computer can  
identify it when it’s used. Both Type I and Type II systems  
place radios (or radio users) into groups, called talkgroups,  
and these talkgroups are also assigned unique IDs. Some  
radios have access to only one talkgroup, while others have  
access to many talkgroups. The talkgroup(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.  
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).  
Changes to a Type II system are easier than Type I because  
the system manager only needs to update the database  
instead of reprogramming individual radios.  
Another difference between the systems is that Type I  
systems are arranged in a Fleet-Subfleet hierarchy.  
For example, its possible for a city using a Type I system to  
designate 4 Fleets, each with 8 Subfleets. Their fleets might  
be the Police Department, the Fire Department, Utilities, and  
Administration. The Police may decide to further divide their  
fleet into subfleets such as Dispatch, Tactical Operations,  
Detectives, North, South, East and West Side Patrols, and  
Supervisors. All the available police radios would then be  
assigned to one of the police subfleets. Determining the exact  
Fleet-Subfleet hierarchy for a particular area is referred to as  
Fleet Map Programming, which is discussed further in this  
manual.  
The disadvantage of a Type I system is that when PTT is  
pressed, the brief burst of data must contain the radio’s ID  
and its Fleet and Subfleet. This is three times the amount of  
data a Type II system radio sends, and as a result Type I

systems usually accommodate fewer users than Type II  
systems.  
Even though there are many Type II systems, Type I systems  
are still in use. There are also Hybrid systems which are a  
combination of both Type I and Type II. Your scanner defaults  
to monitor Type II systems, but its possible to select a  
Preprogrammed Fleet Map or create a Custom Fleet Map for  
your area.  
For VHF and UHF Type II trunking systems, you will need to  
know the base, spacing frequencies and offset channels.  
See page 68 for details.  
Fleet Map Programming  
If you have programmed a trunk tracking bank for Motorola  
type and press SCAN to start Multi-Track, you will see user  
IDs display on the display. Since the UBC3300XLT 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 systems. These systems  
are applied only when STATUS BIT is OFF (see page 69).  
You may also notice that you are missing responses when  
you hold on an active ID. Unlike Type II, Type I/Hybrid  
systems require a Fleet Map that sets specific Fleet-Subfleet  
parameters. It is easy to select a Fleet Map for your scanner;  
what is not always easy is selecting or programming a map  
that matches your particular area.  
There are 16 preset Fleet Maps listed in the appendix that  
you can choose, and these are usually a good place to start  
when setting up a Type I/Hybrid trunk tracking bank. If you  
choose a preset map and still have difficulty following  
complete conversations, then you'll have to program your own  
Fleet Map.

See "User Defined Fleet Maps in the Appendix" for  
more information about Type I IDs.  
How do you know if the preset map is correct? You will have  
to listen to see if you're following complete conversations.  
If not, you should try another preset map.

Programming a Hybrid System  
A Hybrid system is simply a Type I system with some blocks  
designated as Type II blocks. To program a Hybrid system,  
follow the steps listed in "Programming a Fleet Map" in the  
previous section. However, if you want a block to be Type II,  
select Size Code S-0.  
When you begin searching a trunking bank with a Hybrid Fleet  
Map, you will see both types of system IDs. That is, Type II  
IDs usually appear as an even number without a dash; Type I  
IDs appear as a three or four digit number, followed by a  
hyphen, followed by a one or two digit number.

Note: • If the system is not tracking properly, you may need  
to try a new Base Frequency or Offset Channel or  
you may be missing frequencies from the system.  
• You can set up to three Base, Spacing and Offsets  
for Motorola VHF/UHF trunked systems.  
Toggling the Status Bit  
On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which  
specialized types of communications utilize unique talkgroup  
numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talkgroup  
from its primary assignment, for example. Because the  
UBC3300XLT defaults to Status-Bit ON mode, you never  
need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have  
programmed talkgroup 33264 into Scan List memory, for  
example, and there is an emergency call within the group,  
you will hear it on 33264.  
The only time you may wish to turn Status Bits OFF is if  
you're trying to figure out the proper Fleet Map of a Type I  
trunking system. To turn Status Bits OFF, enter into the Menu  
mode and select 2:SCAN OPTION/ 2:TRUNK- select  
bank number - / 9:STATUS BIT. (This feature does not  
apply to EDACS and LTR operation within the scanner.) Then  
rotate the VFO to change the setting (1:ONto 2:OFF) and  
press E to program your change.  
Control Channel Only Mode  
When this function is activated, trunking is performed using  
Control Channel data only. Voice channel (also known as  
"DATA channel") frequencies do not have to be programmed  
into memory. This feature only applies to Motorola 800 MHz  
and 900 MHz systems.  
To turn this function on, choose Motorola 1:TYPE2 800  
or 3:TYPE2 900or 2:TYPE1in the Menu mode. Then  
set to the desired control plan by selecting 2:SCAN  
OPTION/ 2:TRUNK- select bank number - / :CNTRL  
CH ONLY.  
You must choose one of 4 frequency plans (only when 800  
MHz systems is selected) before you begin to Control  
Channel Trunk. The default, Plan 1, is the most common.  
Read the description of the Plans below for details on which  
may apply for you.  
PLAN 1: Use Plan 1 if the last three digits of ALL the  
frequencies in use end in one of the following three digits:  
125, 375, 625, or 875 (example: 856.1125, 860.7375,  
859.6625, 855.8875).  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
69  
PLAN 2: If the last three digits of frequencies are less than  
869.0000 and end in one of the following three digits (125,  
375, 625, or 875) and if ANY other frequencies end in (000,  
250, 500, or 750) use Plan 2.  
PLAN 3: If the last three digits of ALL the frequencies in  
use end in one of the following three digits (000, 250, 500,  
or 750) use Plan 3.  
PLAN 4: If the last three digits of frequencies are less than  
866.0000 and end in one of the following three digits (000,  
250, 500, or 750) and if ANY other frequencies end in (125,  
375, 625, or 875) use Plan 4.  
Of course you will know the Control Channel frequency itself  
so that will help you determine the proper plan. If you try one  
plan and you receive errors (such as the scanner jumping to  
channels that are obviously not part of the system), you  
should try an alternate Plan.  
Note: In Chain Search mode, Control Channel Trunk is  
activated in the Menu mode (See page 18). You must  
choose one of 4 frequency plans. This plan applies  
only when the scanner searches the 800 MHz range.  
Since a default plan is automatically used when the  
scanner searches the 900 MHz range, a user does  
not need to select a plan.  
Note: You can assign a Fleet Map to TYPE 1 or Hybrid  
systems scanned in Control Channel Only mode by  
going into the Menu. You can also program IDs, set a  
delay, alpha tags and all the other parameters for  
systems scanned in this mode. You can then either  
search the system to find new IDs or you can  
program IDs into memory and then scan them.  
Note: The Control Channel Only feature is an extremely  
powerful tool. You can use it to determine if systems  
you are familiar with may have added new  
frequencies or you can use it to discover new  
systems by simply finding active control channels  
(using Search) and then programming them for  
Control Channel operation only.  
Remember that this feature only applies to Motorola  
800 and 900 MHz systems, that you do have to set  
the Menu for the proper system type (800 MHz of  
Type 1 or Type 2 or 900 MHz) and you do have to  
program the Control Channel frequency into Memory.

Disconnect Tone Detect Option (End Code)  
When this function is disabled, the radio looks for squelch  
before returning to the Control Channel instead of waiting for  
the Disconnect Tone. Only in rare instances will you need to  
adjust the default settings.  
The condition to return to Control Channels depends on  
whether the signal is present or not.  
To set this function to ON / OFF, select 2:SCAN OPTION  
/ 2:TRUNK- select bank number - / 0:END CODE.  
Select 1:DETECTor 2:IGNORE.

Care and Maintenance  
General Use  
• Turn the scanner OFF before disconnecting the power.  
• Always write down the programmed frequencies in the  
event of memory loss.  
• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.  
The display shows 000.0000 in all channels when there has  
been a memory loss.  
• Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry  
tone for that key entry, unless you have turned 2:OFFthe  
3:KEY BEEPin the menu system.  
Location  
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such  
as the kitchen or bathroom.  
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating  
elements or vents.  
• If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise,  
move it or its antenna away from the source of the noise.  
If possible, a higher elevation, may provide better reception.  
Cleaning  
• Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.  
• Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.  
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or  
solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD window.  
• Do not use excessive amounts of water.  
Repairs  
• Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user  
serviceable parts. Take it to a qualified repair technician.  
Birdies  
• All radios can receive birdies (undesired signals). If your  
scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it  
may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generated  
signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.  
Press L/O to lockout the channel, and then press RSM  
to resume scanning.  
• Narrow band responses (start scanning without reason)  
occur in the VHF low band in case of strong signals around  
89.3, 99.6, 102.6, and 127.7 MHz.

Glossary of Terms  
Alpha tag - This term refers to an alphanumeric text tag that  
you can enter to describe the individual frequencies that  
you have programmed. Rather than having to associate a  
specific frequency to the individuals that are using it, you  
can enter the actual name of the group. This will eliminate  
the need for memorizing the group’s frequency.  
Attenuator - This scanner comes with a feature to attenuate  
or reduce the signal strength. The built-in attenuator can be  
turned on specific frequencies to prevent strong signals  
from overloading the scanner input, possibly damaging the  
scanner or missing other transmissions due to the repeated  
stopping on the stronger signal.  
Clone - This term identifies the ability to set up a duplicate  
scanner. This function allows you to clone all the  
programming information, including frequencies, talkgroups  
and alpha tags as well as bank settings and other  
parameters from one UBC3300XLT to another.  
Control Channel - This is the frequency within a trunking  
system that runs the system. On Control Channels  
(sometimes called Data Channels) you will hear a buzz saw  
sound. For the most part, it is the sound of the system’s  
central computer directing talkgroups to particular voice  
(working) frequencies within the system.  
CTCSS - (Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System)  
refers to a system where the radio receivers are equipped  
with tone responsive devices which allow audio signals to  
appear at the audio output, select voice processing such as  
scrambling or control repeater functions only when a carrier  
modulated with a specific tone is received. This method  
may be used to restrict access to the repeater or receiver,  
or reduce interference where several stations with output  
frequencies in close proximity of each other make it difficult  
to hear the conversation you are interested in. With CTCSS  
squelching, you can eliminate the possibility of hearing  
unwanted conversations by selecting one of the 38 standard  
subaudible tones. You will only hear those transmissions  
that have been programmed on specific frequencies with  
the specific subaudible tone that you have selected.  
DCS - (Digital Controlled Squelch) refers to a system where  
the radio receivers are equipped with data burst responsive  
devices which allow audio signals to appear at the audio  
output, select voice processing such as scrambling or  
control repeater functions only when a carrier modulated  
with specific data burst is received. This method may be

used to restrict access to the repeater or receiver, or reduce  
interference where several stations with output frequencies  
in close proximity of each other make it difficult to hear the  
conversation you are interested in. With DCS squelching,  
you can eliminate the possibility of hearing unwanted  
conversations by selecting one of the 104 standard data  
burst subaudible tones. You will only hear those  
transmissions that have been programmed on specific  
frequencies with the specific subaudible tone that you have  
selected.  
Enter Lock - This is the term used for locking the keypad.  
This prevents accidental re-programming of channels and  
talkgroups entered into memory. The default setting is OFF.  
When ENTER LOCK is enabled, the following functions will  
be disabled:  
• Enter or modify the Memory Channel frequency  
• Enter or modify the Tone information  
• Enter or modify the Trunking ID. ( this can be modified  
through the menu screen.)  
I-Call - Most communications within a trunked system are  
group calls where one unit (such as a dispatcher)  
communicates with all the units within her group (all the  
patrol vehicles on the east side of town, for example).  
The units within this group comprise what is typically known  
as a talkgroup. There are some communications which are  
direct unit-to-unit conversations where one individual  
converses with another individual. The call is initiated by a  
radio and is directed to another single radio. Within the  
system, no one outside of these two users hears the  
conversation. This call is referred to as I-Call.  
Key Beep - This is another term for the tone you hear as a  
keypad acknowledgement beep. The default setting is on.  
If you have turned the Key Beep off, you now have a silent  
keypad. You will not hear a tone each time you press a key.  
PC Control - This term is associated with the ability to  
program frequencies and other useful information via a  
computer by means of third party software. You can change  
the transfer speed on the scanner needed to be compatible  
with your PC. (See page 73)  
Scan List - When you designate a bank to be a trunking  
bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply  
list of your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs,  
so you can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk bank.  
These lists are designed to help you organize the trunking  
system users into categories.

84  
Screen Mask - Screen Mask reduces the amount of  
information that appears on the display. Alpha tags that you  
have set for a channel along with a few function icons will  
appear only on the display. This mode is particularly useful  
in public safety vehicles where that are already overloaded  
with information. Screen Mask does not work in Search  
mode.  
Status Bit - This term refers to Motorola Type II systems.  
There is a method by which special types of  
communications utilize unique talk group numbers.  
For example, if all emergency calls are set to occur on a  
specific talk group number then you will not miss the  
transmission even if you have not programmed all the talk  
group numbers. With the Status Bit on and you have  
programmed the unique number, then you don’t have to  
worry what the rest of the groups numbers are. The topic of  
interest will be picked up.  
Talkgroup - A group of users within a trunked system that  
communicates with one another.

User Defined Fleet Maps  
Type I Programming Information  
When a Type I system is designed, the address information  
for all the IDs are divided into 8 equal sized blocks. 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 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. For example, a size code of "4" has one Fleet,  
which is divided into 16 separate Subfleets, and it has a total  
of 512 individual IDs.  
When a block is assigned a size code, the Fleet or Fleets  
created within the block are assigned a Type I ID. The way  
these IDs display on your scanner depends on the block  
number and the blocks size code. When a Type I ID displays,  
the left most digit represents the block which contains the ID.  
The next two or three digits identify which Fleet is active, and  
the last digit(s) identifies the Subfleet.  
Block  
(1 digit)  
Subfleet  
(1 or 2 digits)  
Which Fleet  
within the Block  
(2 or 3 digits)  
The details concerning how the size codes are selected by a  
Type I system designer are highly dependent on the specific  
needs of the systems users. Some organizations may want  
many subfleets with only a few radios each, while another  
organization may want only a few subfleets with many radios  
each. Your task is to program your fleet map with the same  
size code assignments as the trunked system. If you do this  
accurately, you'll track all the Fleet-Subfleet combinations  
used by the system. In other words, you'll hear complete  
communications while monitoring a trunked system.  
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 SCAN. 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.

Finally, for most public safety systems there are some size  
codes which are more common. SIZE CODE 3 and SIZE  
CODE 4 are probably the most common, followed by SIZE  
CODE 10, SIZE CODE 11, and SIZE CODE 12.

Size Code Restrictions  
If you select SIZE CODE 12, 13, or 14, there are some  
restrictions as to which blocks can be used for these codes.  
• SIZE CODE 12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4,  
or 6.  
• SIZE CODE 13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4.  
• SIZE CODE 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. For example, if you assign Block 0 as an SIZE  
CODE 12, you will be prompted for Block 2, the next block  
available, instead of Block 1. And if you assign Block 0 as  
SIZE CODE 14, you would not see another prompt because  
all available blocks have been used.
