Fort Worth, Texas, September 1, 2005 – Uniden America Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wireless consumer electronics, today announced a new mobile digital scanner, the Bearcat BCD996T. This model introduces the first-ever GPS-enabled scanner, allowing the product to automatically select nearby radio systems for scanning. The BCD996T also offers APCO 25 digital capability, allowing consumers to monitor the activities and signals of city and government service departments, and features advanced scanner technology in an in-dash or mobile mount design.
+
* Adjustable Hold (scan duration 0-255 sec) per system, custom or service search
−
 
+
* Adjustable (0-5 sec) scan delay
−
The GPS-enabled feature offered by the BCD996T provides automatic system selection, which permits the scanner to turn system reception on or off depending on the user’s location, and allows the user to define the scanner display to show location-based information.
+
* Analog and Digital [[AGC]]
−
 
+
* [[Project_25|APCO25 Digital Audio]] decoding

In addition, when a GPS unit, not included with this scanner, is connected to the BCD996T, it will alert at areas of special interest, such as dangerous intersections, school zones, or general points of interest.

−
Featuring APCO 25 capability, Uniden’s BCD996T is poised to further enhance Uniden’s offerings to public safety and increase interoperability between agencies using different types of radio systems. Uniden’s BCD996T will not permit users to monitor sensitive, encrypted signals from national and local security services.

The Bearcat BCD996T also offers Close Call™ RF Capture Technology, Dynamic Memory Management, Fire Tone-Out, and Multi-site programming as well as 6,000 channels and a frequency range of 25 MHz to 1.3 GHz (excluding cellular and UHF TV frequencies). This new model is slated to hit retail shelves in spring 2006 and carries a MSRP of $849.99.

=== Multi-Site Trunking ===
+
* Quick Recall – quickly navigates to a specific Channel by choosing the System, Group, and Channel.
−
 
+
* [[Quick Search]]
−
Some wide coverage systems use multiple system sites that are linked together to provide extended area coverage. Each site operates on its own set of frequencies, but share talk group channels with all other sites in the system.
+
* [[Priority Scan]] 
−
 
+
* [[P25 audio decode level adjustment]]
−
Normally, a site will only carry traffic for talk groups that have at least one subscriber unit (mobile radio) affiliated with it.
+
* [[Repeater Reverse]]
−
 
+
* [[Search with Scan]] for Service and Custom Searches with assigned Quick Keys
−
With the initial implementation of dynamic memory, each site needed to be entered as its own system, and all talk group channels had to be duplicated. This resulted in more complexity in programming as well as more memory usage.
+
* [[Startup Configuration]]
−
 
+
* [[Temporary System, Site, Group, Channel, and Location Lockout]]
−
Multi-Site Trunking is available for Motorola and EDACS system. With this method, you define a system, one or more sites for the system, and then the channels for the system. All channels are shared among all sites.

Site attributes include:
 
−
* Site Quick Key: Equivalent to the System Quick Key; turns the site on/off for scanning.
 
−
* Site Name
 
−
* Site Location
 
−
 
 
−
=== 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).
 
−
 
 
−
=== Location-Based Scanning (GPS) ===
 
−
 
 
−
If you connect a GPS unit to the scanner, it can automatically enable/disable systems based on the geographic information you provide:
 
−
* Latitude (center of the range)
 
−
* Longitude (center of the range)
 
−
* Range (distance from the side of a square around the Latitude/Longitude to the center of the box) which can be selected from .5/1/5/10/20/30/50 miles
 
−
 
 
−
Rather than center the lat/lon on the antenna site for the system and set the range to the receivable range for the system, it makes more sense to center these settings on the geopolitical center of the system, and bound the range to box in that entity. That is, while I can technically hear the Arlington TRS from west Fort Worth, I don’t really want to. Instead, I’d set the lat/lon/range values to approximate a box around the Arlington city limits so that I would not hear Arlington until I approached/entered Arlington.
 
−
 
 
−
Also, not all geopolitical areas are perfect squares. You can modify the shape of the system by entering multiple sites for the system (even though the system might have only one site) and use different location settings for each site. For example, stack two squares to make a tall rectangular scan area for the system.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Non-Radio Location-Based Features (GPS) ===
 
−
 
 
−
There are non-radio type systems that hold other location based information:
 
−
* Dangerous Xing: Stores location, range, direction of travel. If you are within range, traveling in the specified direction, you receive an alert.
 
−
* Dangerous Road: Stores location, range, speed. If you are traveling at a speed greater than the one specified, and are within the range of the specified location, you receive an alert.
 
−
* Points of Interest: Stores location and range. If you approach the specified location, you receive an alert.
 
−
 
 
−
In general, a location alert can have:
 
−
* Latitude
 
−
* Longitude
 
−
* Speed (optional)
 
−
* Alpha (optional)
 
−
* Alert Type and Level (optional)
 
−
* Vector (optional)
 
−
* Heading
 
−
 
 
−
Alerts are based on:
 
−
* Speed setting > 0 and no vector entered, non-directional speed alert
 
−
* Speed setting > 0 and a vector is entered, directional speed alert
 
−
* Speed = 0 and vector is entered, dangerous intersection alert
 
−
* Speed = 0 and no vector entered, point-of-interest alert
 
−
 
 
−
The user can quickly save a location by pressing GPS. Scanner prompts for the type of location to store (Speed, Intersection, or POI).
 
−
 
 
−
=== 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.
 
−
 
 
−
? 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 ===
+
==RR System Compatibility==
 +
This scanner is compatible with the following Trunking System Types and System Voices used in the RadioReference Database, of course you must verify that the scanner will cover the appropriate frequency range:
