• Control Channel – An active data Channel frequency programmed into one of the available
Channels in a Trunked Bank.
• Alphanumeric Tags – Bank, Channel and Talkgroup ID information stored in the ScanControl
Data File. The BCT8, BC95XLT, BC245XLT, BC895XLT, BC898T and PRO2052 scanners do
not have memory space for these alphanumeric tags so they are not stored in the radio. The
BC780XLT, BC250D, BC296D, BC785D, BC796D, SC230, BC246T, BR330T, BCT396T,
BCT15 and BCD996T do have memory space for these tags therefore they are stored in the
radio.
• Banks, Channels, Talkgroups, ScanLists, FleetMaps – In Non-DMA radios, the organization
of the scanner’s radio memory. See the table below for the memory organization for each
scanner ScanControl supports.

Radio Memory is allocated from a "pool" in units of Systems, Sites and Groups. Systems contain Sites
and Groups. Sites contain Trunk Channels. Groups contain Conventional Channels or Talkgroup IDs.

Logging – ScanControl has detailed function logging. This feature can be turned on or off from the
Main Control Screen. When active each program action is time stamped and logged into a file
(<drive>:\<install directory path>\Scanctrl.log) for history and audit purposes. The log file has a
size maximum of 100KB. When the log reaches 100KB the program automatically archives it into a
time stamped file (e.g. scanctrl071602143220.log) and creates a new, empty log file.
Intelligent Audio Capture (IAC) – During Control / Monitoring sessions ScanControl can capture
and record the audio from the scanner. The audio is recorded to your PCs hard drive in digitized audio
files located in a folder in the ScanControl installation directory. This folder name would be
<drive>:\<install directory path>\audio_capture\). The audio files would then be separated into
separate files & folders depending on the IAC grouping chosen on the ScanControl Program Options
screen.
