The BC350C is not just a scanner. It is a brand new

information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. The

built-in Service Scan system brings you instantly into the

exciting world of scanning action. Best of all, you don’t even

have to program the scanner to begin using it!

The BC350C comes with 6 Service banks for monitoring

police, fire/emergency medical services, marine, air, weather,

and CB frequencies. Not only that, there’s even a fully

programmable bank for storing your own private collection of

favorite frequencies.

With the BC350C, you can scan over 3,600 channels. In

addition, the BC350C has 13 separate band search

capabilities for even greater scanning action.

2 Service Scan banks, Police and Fire/EMS also have

programmable channels to store additional police and

Fire/EMS frequencies. So whenever you encounter a newly

activated local frequency for either service category, you can

add it to the bank for that category. This gives you quick

access to the frequencies you want to hear.

So enjoy your BC350C!

About Your New BC350C

UB317Z (BC350C) 0916 9/16/03 12:42 PM Page 1

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way

communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously.

The BC350C scans programmed channels at the rate of up to

100 channels per second until it locates an active frequency.

When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on

that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the

transmission ends, the scanner stays on the channel for 2

more seconds, waiting for another transmission. If no

response is detected, the scanning cycle resumes until

anoth-er transmission is received.

Types of Communication

You will be able to monitor communication such as:

•Police and fire departments

(including rescue and paramedics)

•NOAA weather broadcasts (10 pre-programmed channels,

2 are Canadian Marine Weather Channels)

•Citizens Band (CB)

•Business/industrial radio

•Motion picture and press relay

•Utility

•Land transportation frequencies, such as trucking firms,

buses, taxis, tow trucks, and railroads

•Marine and amateur (ham radio) bands

•Air band

•And many more in the 25-54 MHz, 108-174 MHz,

406-512, and 806-956∗MHz ranges

∗Excluding Cellular Telephone Band

What is Scanning?

UB317Z (BC350C) 0916 9/16/03 12:42 PM Page 2

The BC350C can search each of its 13 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 (Search and Turbo Search)

while searching. During Search Mode the scanner will search

100 frequencies per second, while in Turbo Search Mode the

scanner can achieve up to 300 frequencies per second in the

5 kHz step band.

What is Searching?

UB317Z (BC350C) 0916 9/16/03 12:42 PM Page 3

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 transmit 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 have been implemented to solve this

problem.

In a trunked radio system the frequencies are shared among

the police and fire departments and a computer systematically

assigns available frequencies when they are needed for

communications.

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 convertional scanner is difficult, if not impossible.

Because when there's a short break during the conversation

you're monitoring, a completely different frequency will be

assigned within the trunked system when the conversation

resumes.

If your local police, fire, and EMS agencies use a trunked

system and you want to be able to follow their

communications, you will want to purchase one of Uniden’s

Trunk Tracking Scanners.

Before you can scan the Private bank, you must program the

police, fire, EMS, or other interesting frequencies into the

Scanners Channels.

The Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around

the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new

scanner. However, this is not a complete list of frequencies for

your area.

the following:
