39Digital Coded Squelch is similar to CTCSS, but instead of differentiating codesusing frequencies, DCS always uses the same frequency but encodes it with abinary value. When you select this option, the scanner only opens squelch when amatching DCS value is present on the frequency.3:OFFThe scanner opens squelch regardless of the presence of tones.Note: If, instead of pressing E to select a tone you press L/O, the scanner will stop on anytransmission except for those with the selected tone.Setting Beep Alert2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. → 4:BEEPALERT1:ONThe scanner sounds three alert tones when it stops on a transmission on thischannel.2:OFFBeep Alert is off.Setting the Attenuator2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. →5:ATTENUATORIf you are near a very strong signal source, the signal can overload the scanner’s RF frontend, causing poor audio quality or missed reception.1:ONRF attenuation is on for the channel2:OFFRF attenuation is off for the channelChanging the Frequency Step2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL → Channel No. → 6:STEPSThe channel frequency step option controls the frequency step size used when you manuallytune up or down from the frequency stored in the channel. Your BC796D is preprogrammedwith the most common steps sizes for each band, so you seldom need to change thissetting.1:5KHzUse 5 kHz steps2:6.25KHzUse 6.25 kHz steps3:7.5KHzUse 7.5 kHz steps4:10KHzUse 10 kHz steps5:12.5KHzUse 12.5 kHz steps
