							SearchYou can use the Search feature to find active frequencies in your area.
This feature is handy for finding frequencies besides those in your Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency Guide,
or if you change locations.
You can search for any frequencies between 29.000 and 956.000 MHz, 
as long as they are within the 12 Bands covered by the BC860XLT.
See the table on page 3, or the Technical Specifications at the back of this Guide.
To use Search, set upper and lower limits.  Then activate Search.
Note:
Although you can set any limits for the Search within the above guidelines, 
the wider the frequency range, the longer it will take to search all the frequencies.
To save time, set narrower limits, and Search more than once.
1.Enter MANUAL mode.
2.Set Lower Search Limit.
3.Set Upper Search Limit.

							To Skip Undesired FrequenciesWhen Search stops on a frequency you do not want to hear (noise or undesired transmissions),
you can mark that frequency so it is skipped during a later Search.To Mark an Undesired FrequencyWhen the scanner stops at the
undesired frequency:Mark the frequency. The scanner immediately begins
searching again because that
frequency is now skipped.

You can skip only 10 frequencies in
Search mode.When you select the 11th, the first
skipped frequency is erased, etc.

							Search DelayNormally, the scanner will resume searching as soon as a transmission has stopped.
You can program an additional Delay so the scanner waits another 2 seconds before resuming searching.
This allows you to hear a possible replying transmission.  
In normal Scan you must program a Delay for each channel that you want it activated.
In Search, Delay is active (or inactive) for 
all frequencies.
To activate Delay for Search (whether
searching or stopped on a frequency),
