Understanding Scanning

This section provides you with background on how

scanning works. You don’t really need to know all of this

to use your scanner, but some background knowledge

will help you get the most from your BC246T.

Understanding the Scanner’s Memory

Your scanner’s memory is organized in an architecture

called Dynamic Allocated Channel memory. This type of

memory is organized differently and more efficiently than

the bank/channel architecture used by traditional scanners.

Dynamic Allocated design matches how radio systems

actually work much more closely, making it easier to

program and use your scanner and determine how much

memory you have used and how much you have left.

Instead of being organized into separate banks and

channels, your scanner’s memory is contained in a pool.

You simply use as much memory as you need in the pool to

store as many frequencies, talk group ID’s, and alpha

tags as you need. No memory space is wasted, and you

can tell at a glance how much memory you have used

and how much remains.

With a traditional scanner, when you program it to track a

trunked system, you must first program the frequencies.

Since you can only program one trunking system per

bank in a traditional scanner, if there were (for example)

30 frequencies, the remaining 70 or so channels in the

bank are not used and therefore wasted. Also, since

some trunked systems might have hundreds of talk

groups, you would have had to enter those types of sys

tems into multiple banks in order to monitor and track all

the ID’s.

What is Scanning?

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

communications do not transmit continuously. Your

BC246T scans programmed channels until it finds an

active frequency, then stops on that frequency and

remains on that channel as long as the transmission

continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning
