When this option is turned on, when the scanner gets a Close Call "hit", it temporarily saves the hit and includes that frequency when scanning.

Advanced Features
Multi-Site Trunking
See Uniden Multi-Site Trunking.
Temporary Lockout
Pressing L/O one time while on a channel temporarily locks out that channel. Pressing F+L/O one time while on a system temporarily locks out that system.
Pressing L/O or F+L/O two times results in a permanent lockout. Pressing L/O for more than 3 seconds unlocks all channels in the current system (or all search lockouts if in a search). F+L/O for more than 3 seconds unlocks all systems.
Temporary lockouts are removed when power is cycled.
Startup Configuration
Pressing a number button while powering on the scanner automatically unlocks all systems assigned to that startup key and automatically locks all systems assigned to a different startup key (unassigned systems are not affected).
Close Call Do-Not-Disturb
When set in this mode, the scanner will periodically make Close Call checks whenever the scanner is not receiving audio in another mode. This eliminates the annoying breaks in conversation while still allowing for the Close Call functionality.
Soft Search Keys
Let you program the keypad’s secondary functions to turn on/off specified search ranges.
Two-Color Backlighting
Lets you choose either red or green backlighting for the display/keypad.
Single-Handed Function Operation
Tap Function to access F+ key presses. 5 seconds after your last key press, the scanner reverts to non F+ entry (or press Function again to revert sooner).
Close Call Temporary Store
When this option is turned on, when the scanner gets a Close Call "hit", it temporarily saves the hit and includes that frequency when scanning. The scanner keeps the last 10 hits (older hits are erased by newer ones). Hits are lost when power is cycled. You can store a hit into memory by pressing "E" when on that frequency.
Dual Serial Ports
Front-set serial port using the same connector as BC246T/BCD396T/BR330T/SC230. Rear DB9 Male connector (for convenient direct plug-in of GPS Serial cable).
Either port can be configured to be PC interface or GPS interface.
PC Programming and Control
- BuTel Software:
- Clone996 backup & restore utility
- ARC996 Basic/Pro
- ARC996 PDF brochure
- ARC-EasyStream
- 'Scanner Over Ip 996' client/server software (under development)
- IDTracker II
- Scancat Lite Plus
- Scan Control
- UASD Software and Firmware Updates
- To Enter Registration Key: open program, click on "write to scanner", click on "setup" at top and then "registration" a box will open so that you can enter the number that was emailed to you ("demo" will now be removed from the write to scanner box)
