I'm a little bit surprised that the user's manual for the Uniden BCT396XT doesn't provide any details on what is being displayed on the LCD while scanning. I'm new to this, and very perplexed by what I can best describe as a very non-intuitive user interface. For example, while I am scanning I see five lines of text
Mass State
ID SCAN (scrolling left with an up-arrow on the right)
NFM
S2: 1********-
GRP----------
So I get that the first line is the name of the system that I am currently scanning.
What is the significance of the second line, and why is it scrolling left? What does the up-arrow mean?
NFM is narrowband-FM, which is the modulation
What about those last two rows of mostly asterisks and hyphens?
Can somebody please lend me a clue?
