The Uniden UBCD-260DN is a powerful and innovative device that stands out for its performance and versatility. It is equipped with advanced features such as the Band Scope Rapid system and frequency tagging, which guarantees faster and more efficient signal detection. Thanks to narrowband reception, the UBCD260DN offers accurate reception of even the most complex signals.
Its extensive search functions make it easy to locate hidden signals, while its pre-programmed service bands offer instant access to important frequencies such as weather alerts (SAME), aviation, marine, rail, and emergency frequencies for police, fire, and ambulance.
The Uniden BCD260DN has dPMR, DMR, and NXDN protocols preinstalled, so you can set it up quickly. Additionally, the scanner quickly detects and decodes DCS/CTCSS tones, allowing you to configure your system instantly. With 1,000 alphanumeric-labeled channels, you can easily manage and organize your frequencies by location or area of interest.
In addition, the UBCD-260DN utilizes quick search and PC programming features with Uniden’s free software, allowing you to easily manage your profiles, favorites lists, and firmware updates. This device covers a wide frequency range of 25-512 MHz and 758-1300 MHz, ensuring broad coverage.
FEATURES:
- Backlit LCD and Keypad: Make the scanner easy to use at night.
- 3 Search Keys: You can assign any three of the number keys to initiate a range search, weather scan, exit tone search, service search, or view the “Band Scope” mode.
- 10 Channel Storage Banks: You can store up to 100 frequencies in each bank for a total of 1,000 frequencies, making call identification easier.
- 10 Custom Searches: Allows you to program up to 10 custom search ranges.
- 26 Service Searches: Frequencies are preset in separate searches for marine, railroad, aviation, CB radio, racing, FM broadcast, public safety, military aviation, FRS/GMRS, media, and amateur radio to make it easy to find specific transmissions.
- Adjustable Search/Scan Delay/Resume: Set a delay of up to 30 seconds or a forced resume of up to 10 seconds (per channel or search).
- Attenuator: You can set the scanner’s attenuator to reduce the input strength of strong signals by approximately 20 dB per channel or search band.
- Automatic Channel Selection: Accepts frequencies on any valid channel step, even if it is not within the standard frequency plan steps.
- Band Mode: This special search mode displays the strength of each detected signal. In this mode, the scanner starts with the lowest frequency within the range and ascends throughout the search range. In Max Search mode, the scanner displays the strongest signal detected.
- Broadcast Filter: Allows the scanner to ignore results on known broadcast frequencies, including pagers, in search mode.
- Configurable Band Settings: Allows you to configure the step (Auto, 5, 6.25, 7.5, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50, or 100 kHz) and modulation (AM, FM, NFM, WFM, or FMB) for 30 different bands.
- Digital/DCS/CTCSS Code Decoding: Decodes and displays transmitted Continuous Tone Code Squelch tones and reproduces received digital coded squelch, DMR color code, NXDN area, and RAN NXDN code.
- CTCSS/DCS/Digital Code Search: This allows you to search for CTCSS, DCS, DMR color code, NXDN area, or RAN NXDN code when it finds an active frequency in search modes.
- Custom Alerts: You can program your scanner to alert you when it receives an incoming channel or tone. For each scanner alert, you can choose from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume levels, 7 colors, and 2 flashing patterns.
- DIN-E and ISO Vehicle Mounting: Using the optional DIN-E holster or standard ISO technology, the scanner can be easily mounted in most vehicles.
- DMR and NXDN Compatibility: This allows you to receive transmissions with these decoding protocols.
- Duplicate Frequency Warning: Warns you if you attempt to enter a duplicate name or frequency already stored in the scanner.
- Individual Channel Volume Offset: This allows you to adjust the volume for each channel.
- Intermediate Frequency Switch: Changes the IF used for a selected channel/frequency to avoid interference caused by ghosting and other mixer outputs.
- LCD Backlight: Makes the LCD screen easily visible in low-light conditions using three brightness levels.
- Multicolor LED Warning Light: The LCD LED warning light can be set to one of 7 colors: blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, yellow, and white (default).
- Orange Vehicle Connection Cable: A special cable that connects to your vehicle’s dimmer circuit so the vehicle’s dimmer also dims the scanner’s lights.
- PC Programmable: You can transfer data to and from your scanner and control it with a computer using the BCDX60DN SS program (available on the product page at www.uniden.com/products).
- Priority/Priority Plus Scan: Priority channels keep you informed of activity on your most important channels while monitoring transmissions on other channels. You can scan only priority channels. Priority Plus mode only monitors priority channels.
- Quick Seek Function: Allows you to search from the currently tuned frequency or channel, or enter a frequency to begin the search. Turn the scroll knob to change the search direction.
- Recording Output: You can connect an output connector to a VOX-controlled recorder or a PC audio input to record received audio.
- SAME/Priority Weather Alert: (with programmable FIPS codes) Your scanner will alert you when a SAME weather alert is broadcast on a NOAA weather channel. The scanner will also display the alert type.
- 12 Scan Blocks: You can lock up to 400 frequencies (200 temporary, 200 permanent) during a scan.
Signal Strength Meter: Displays signal strength for the strongest transmissions. - Temporary Lockout: Automatically unlocks temporarily locked channels/systems/scans/locations when you restart your device.
- Text Labeling: You can name each channel, custom scan range, exit tone, service list, and SAME group with up to 16 characters per name.
- Standby Mode/Tone Scan: Allows you to set the scanner to alert you when a two-tone sequence is transmitted. You can configure up to 10 settings (transmit frequency, tone frequencies) and then select one to monitor in standby mode. The scanner will also search for and display unknown tones.
- Turbo Search Feature: Automatically increases the search speed from 100 to 300 steps per second for bands with 5 kHz steps.
