Introduction
The BC9000XLT is a sophisticated information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. You can use it at home as a base unit, or install in your vehicle as a mobile unit.
The BC9000XLT can store frequencies such as, police, fire/emergency, marine, air, weather, and other broadcasts into 20 banks of 25 channels each. The new Rotary Tuner feature enables rapid and easy selection of channels and frequencies. And with AUTO STORE, you can automatically program any channel.
With the BC9000XLT, you can scan all 500 channels with Turbo Scan. In the Search Mode, you can choose super fast Turbo Search. In addition, the BC9000XLT has AUTO SORT – an automatic frequency sorting feature for faster scanning within each bank.
Types of Communication
You will be able to monitor communication such as:
nPolice and fire department (including paramedics)
nNOAA weather broadcasts
nBusiness/industrial radio
nMotion picture and press relay
nUtility
nLand transportation frequencies, such as trucking firms, buses, taxis, tow trucks, and railroads
nMarine and amateur (ham radio) bands
nAir band
nPublic Service 800 MHz band
And many more in the 25-1300 MHz range. (Note: Cellular telephone frequencies cannot be received.)
Where to Obtain More Information
The Bearcat Radio Club and other similar hobby clubs have publications, information on computer bulletin boards, and even contests for the radio enthusiast. See the enclosed pamphlets for more information. Additional information is also available through your local library.

Feature Highlights
nTwin Turbo Scan/Search – This lightning-fast technology enables the BC9000XLT to scan up to 100 channels per second and search up to 300 steps per second (in 5kHz steps). Because the frequency coverage is so large (see ÉSpecifications,Ê page 53, for band listing), a very fast scanning system is essential. That is why we combined our latest technology ä Turbo Scan and Search ä into the BC9000XLT.
nRotaryTuner Control – Turn the large Rotary Tuner to select the desired frequency or channel.
n500 Channels – You can program each of these memory channels to store one frequency.
n20 Banks – Each bank contains 25 channels, useful for storing similar frequencies in order to maintain faster scanning cycles.
n25 - 1300 MHz – Indicates the range of frequencies that can be searched within the bands of your scanner. (Note: The frequency coverage is not totally continuous between 800-900 MHz.)
n10 Priority Channels – You can assign one Priority channel for each of the 10 banks, A-J. This allows you to keep track of activity on your most important channel(s) while monitoring other channels for transmissions.
nAuto Store – Automatically stores all active frequencies within the specified bank(s).
nAuto Sorting – Programmed frequencies are automatically sorted within each bank for faster scanning.
nAuto Recording – This feature lets you record channel activity from the scanner onto a tape recorder.
nScan/Search Delay—In the Scan or Search Mode, causes the scanner to remain on a frequency two seconds after the last transmission to wait for a possible reply.
nDirect Channel Access—Allows you to manually select a specific channel without scanning.
nDirect Frequency Programming—Allows you to program a specific frequency into a channel without searching.
nFrequency Transfer—Lets you transfer a frequency into an empty channel, or replace the frequency in the current channel.
nProgrammable Alpha Characters—You can program channels 1 - 250 with 16 alpha characters for easy reference.
4
nVariable Frequency Steps (Increments)—In the search or Manual Mode, lets you change the steps between frequencies.
nChannel/Frequency Lockout—Lets you temporarily remove channels or frequencies from the scanning or search cycle.
nSignal Attenuation—Reduces the scanner’s sensitivity for unusually strong signals often found on the WFM (wide frequency modulation) bands.
nData Skip—Lets you set the scanner to automatically continue searching or scanning when it encounters an unmodulated or data signal.
nEnter Lock—Temporarily disables programming keys to prevent accidental programming.
nExternal Speaker Jack—Allow you to connect an external speaker or earphone for custom listening. See “Included with your Scanner” on page 3, and “Optional Accessories & Replacement Parts” on page 52.
nLine, and AUX Jacks—Allow you to connect a tape recorder.
nDisplay Light—Lets you view the display more easily in dark or low-light conditions.

Base Installation
1.Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC 13.8V jack on the rear panel.
2.Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
3.Plug the Telescoping Antenna into the “ANT” connector. Extend the antenna to its full height. For frequencies higher than
406 MHz, shortening the antenna may improve the reception.
4.If you need a better viewing angle, flip the folding legs down to raise the front of the scanner.

What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously. The BC9000XLT scans programmed channels at the rate of up to 100 channels per second 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, and no response is detected, the scanning cycle resumes until another transmission is received.

An optional DELAY can be set so that the scanner stays on the channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for another transmission before resuming scanning.
Searching
Scanning and searching are similar in that they both involve finding active frequencies within a group of frequencies. The difference is Scanning looks only at a group of programmed frequencies that are stored in the scanner’s channels and grouped into banks.
Searching looks at all the frequencies within a pre-selected range of frequencies.
If you find an interesting frequency while searching, you can store it in a channel for easier access later. See “Programming with Search” on page 14. The main purpose of the Search function is to help you find active frequencies to program into memory.
7
Banks and Channels
BC9000XLTBanks and channels are the way stored frequencies are organized in your scanner.
A channel is a memory location where you store a frequency. The channels in the BC9000XLT are numbered 1 - 500. A bank is a group of channels. The BC9000XLT has 20 banks with 25 channels in each. The banks are useful for storing similar frequencies in order to maintain faster scanning cycles.
You can turn each bank on or off to control whether its channels are included during scanning. When you turn off a bank, its channels are not erased, but are only temporarily excluded from scanning. You can also temporarily lock out individual channels within a bank during scanning.

Programming Channels
Before you can scan, you must program the channels within a bank. You can store one frequency per channel, up to 500 channels. These are the banks and their associated channels:

Auto Sort
Each time you store a frequency, the list of scanning frequencies in the bank is automatically sorted by frequency number. This unique Auto Sort feature enables faster scanning. When you manually step through a bank, however, frequencies are sorted according to channel number.
Choosing a Programming Method
With the BC9000XLT, there are five ways to program a channel:
nManually selecting a channel and frequency, using the numeric keypad
nUsing the Rotary Tuner to select a channel and frequency
nSearching a band to find active frequencies, and then storing them into channels
nUsing the Auto Store feature to automatically program channels
nTransfer a programmed frequency from another channel
