Whats Service Scan?
This feature is an operation which scans a large (typically several thousand) variety of preprogrammed frequencies. At the factory, Uniden programs the radio with a set of frequencies which are commonly used throughout the US for various agencies. The BC245XLT has the most common US frequencies programmed for the following agencies: police, fire/EMS, railroad, aircraft, marine and weather. Using the SVC key allows you to select which agency (service) is scanned.
