2. Multi-Site System - All trunked systems can have more than one site. All sites in the system share the same Channel Groups and Channels.
3. Control Channel Only - Trunk Tracking can be achieved by entering only the control channels for Motorola and P25 systems.
4. P25 One-Frequency Trunking - The scanner can follow individual talk groups on P25 single-frequency systems that use both NAC and TGID’s for squelch control and user identification. ID Search and ID Store are available, just like on trunked systems.
5.  Priority ID Scanning -Trunked channels can be assigned priority. When the scanner is monitoring the control channel, channels you tag as priority are given a higher priority over non-priority channels when they become active.
6.  Preemptive Priority ID Scanning -  For Motorola systems that have channel priority active on the system, if you flag a channel as priority and the system also has that TGID identified as a priority channel, the scanner will preempt any current transmission if the TGID becomes active.
7. Trunking Activity Indicators - The scanner shows all trunked activity when you hold on the control channel.
8. Custom Search - You can program up to 10 custom search ranges and either search them exclusively or include these searches when scanning.
9.  Quick Search - If you hold on a conventional channel, you can start searching from the current frequency. If you hold on a trunked channel, you can quickly switch to ID Search mode.
10. Frequency Autostore - The scanner can automatically store frequencies found during a search.
11. Search Speed / Turbo Search - * 100 Steps/Second in search mode (max, except for 5 kHz steps) * 300 Steps/Second in search mode (max, 5 kHz steps) * Turbo mode automatically applies to 5 kHz step searches.
12. Search Lockout - You can lock out up to 500 frequencies. * The limit of temporary L/O frequencies: 250 * The limit of permanent L/O frequencies: 250 * Locked out frequencies will be skipped in Search Mode or Close Call Mode. * You can review all locked out frequencies in Menu Mode.
13. Search Key - Search keys are short cuts to start searching for a single search range. There are 3 search keys (sr1 to sr3).
14. Service Search - You can search preset frequencies typically used by specific agencies or groups. The kind of Service Search is as follows: Public Safety, News, HAM Radio, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio, FRS/GMRS/MURS, Racing, FM Broadcast, Military Air, Special
15. Broadcast Screen - Allows the scanner to ignore hits on Pager, FM, UHF TV, VHF TV, NOAA WX and custom band frequencies.
16. Attenuator - You can attenuate the incoming signal for channels that get interference from strong signal sources. You can set a global attenuator to apply attenuation to all reception.
17. Code Search - Rapid search for the CTCSS/DCS used during a transmission. The scanner does not detect or decode P25 signals if you are operating CTCSS/DCS Search.
18. P25 NAC P25 Network Access Code (NAC) is used to provide selective squelch operation on channels. The scanner can also search for the NAC code that is being used on a P25 digital channel.
19. Volume Offset - Adjust the volume level for any channel from -3 to +3 steps to balance audio level.
20. IF Exchange - Switches the current frequency to use a different IF (intermediate frequency) for receiving radio signals to avoid interference.
21. Dropout Delay - Controls whether the scanner pauses at the end of a transmission to wait for a reply. You can set the Delay time for each System. All Channels in the System share the same delay setting. You can also set the Delay time for Search, Close Call and Tone-Out. You can set the minus delay time. In that case, the scanner only stops on transmissions for the set duration, then automatically resumes.
22. Weather and SAME Alert - The scanner can alert to Weather Alert Tone, all FIPS or selected FIPS.
23. Close Call® Frequency Capture - The scanner can immediately detect and lock onto a transmission above threshold signal strength.
24. Close Call Temporary Store - The scanner scans the last 10 frequencies captured by Close Call so that you can continue to receive the signal even after the signal is not strong enough to trigger a Close Call hit..
25. Tone-Out Sequential Decode - Lets you set the scanner to act as a two-tone pager for fire tone-out standby. If you do not know the tones being used, the scanner can detect the tones when it receives a page.
26. Location-Based Scanning* - The scanner can automatically lock and unlock systems, sites and channel groups based on your current location as provided by an external GPS unit (not included).
27. Location Alert System* - The scanner alerts you when you approached a stored location.
28. Navigation Modes* - Indicate the Direction / Distance / Time to Goal for locations you set.
29. GPS Compatibility* - Compatible GPS units output location data that conforms to NMEA-0183 v3.01. The scanner uses the GGA and RMC sentences as defined by that specification. Note that this standard specifies an RS232 serial connection. GPS units that have USB connectivity are not compatible with this scanner.
30. .Wired Cloning - You can clone all programmed data, including Memory Architecture, Menu settings and other parameters from one BCD396XT to another BCD396XT connected with RS232C cable.
31. Band Scope - Band Scope Mode searches a frequency range and displays a graphic of the signal level in real time. In Band Scope Hold Mode, the user can monitor the frequency displayed.
32. PC Control - You can download information into the scanner and control the scanner via your personal computer.
33. LCD and Keypad Backlight - You can select your desired LCD backlight color from White, Red, Magenta, Blue, Green, Cyan, or Yellow. The Keypad backlight is single white. The backlight can be adjusted to 3 different brightness levels
34. Alert Tone Level - This feature lets you adjust the volume level of the following tones: Key Beep, Emergency Alert, Channel Alert, Close Call Alert, Tone-Out detection Alert, Battery Low Alert and Location Alert.
35. Battery Low Alert - When the battery voltage becomes low, the icon will blink and a Battery Low Tone will be generated every 15 seconds. This alert level is set at the same level as the key beep volume level.
36. Battery Save - You can turn on/off this function by Menu Operation. This works when there is no transmission over 1 minute in the following modes. This feature turns off RF power for 1 second and turns on it 300 ms to extend the battery life. * Scan Hold Mode at a Channel of conventional System (without Priority Scan) * Any Search Hold Mode
37. Key Lock - This feature disables the keypad and scroll to prevent any accidental input.
38. Key Safe Mode - This mode helps keep novice users from accidentally changing parameters or modes. Some keys don't work in this mode.
39. Audio AGC - The scanner judges strength of the signal and changes the volume automatically.
40. Repeater Reverse - One-touch key lets you switch to hearing the input frequency on a conventional repeater system or trunked system.
