Features

Your RadioShack Handheld Scanner is one of a new

generation of scanners designed to track Motorola

Type I and II (such as Smartnetand Privacy Plus)

and hybrid analog trunking systems, and GE/Ericsson

(EDACS) type systems, which are extensively used in

many communication systems.

Trunking communications systems let a large group of 2-

way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio

users) efficiently use a set of frequencies. Instead of se-

lecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user

simply selects a talk group. The trunking system auto-

matically transmits the call on the first available frequen-

cy, and also sends a code that uniquely identifies that

transmission.

Since the trunking system might send a call and its re-

sponse on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to

trunked communications using a regular scanner. The

trunking scanner monitors the data sent with a 2-way ra-

dio transmission, so you can hear the call and response

for that user and more easily "follow" the conversation.

The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmis-

sions, and is preprogrammed with service search banks

for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can

quickly search those frequencies most commonly used

by public service and other agencies.

This scanner gives you direct access to over 59,000 fre-

quencies including those used by police and fire depart-

ments, ambulance services, government agencies, air,

and amateur radio services.

Your scanner includes these features:

Simultaneous Trunking Operation — tracks two trunk-

ing systems (Motorola and EDACS) and conventional

systems at the same time.

Automatic Channel Programming — automatically de-

termines the group trunking frequencies, for Motorola

6Features

trunking systems only, once the control channels are

programmed.

10 Channel-Storage Banks — let you store 30 chan-

nels in each bank (300 channels) to group channels so

calls are easier to identify.

10 ID-Storage Banks — let you store 1,000 IDs in 10 ID

banks that have 5 sub-ID banks. 20 IDs are programmed

in each sub-ID bank and let you easily identify the ID

code.

Weather Alert — automatically sounds the alarm tone to

advise of hazardous weather conditions when it detects

the alert signal on the local National Oceanic and Atmo-

spheric Administration (NOAA) weather channel during

priority operation.

Digital Weather Alert — displays the weather event text

with four alert levels so you can see and hear the reason

for the alert.

Data Cloning — lets you transfer the programmed data

to another PRO-93 or a PRO-2053 scanner. You can

also upload or download the programmed data to or

from a PC using an optional PC interface kit.

12-Character, 4-Line, Alphanumeric Display — shows

you detailed operating information clearly.

Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver — vir-

tually eliminates any interference from intermediate fre-

quency (IF) images, so you hear only the frequency you

select.

Preprogrammed Frequency Ranges — lets you

search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges

or within ranges you set, to reduce search time and se-

lect interesting frequencies more quickly.

Hyperscan™ and Hypersearch™ — the scanner

scans at up to 60 channels per second and searches up

to 75 frequencies per second, to help you quickly find

transmissions.

Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds be-

fore moving to another channel in conventional mode, so

Features

you can hear more replies that are made on the same

channel.

Priority Channel — lets you set the scanner to check

one channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss trans-

missions.

Attenuate — lets you program your scanner to reduce

the scanner's sensitivity to strong local signals, to reduce

interference or noise caused by these signals.

Text Input — lets you input a text label for each chan-

nel, talk group ID, bank, or other memory location so you

can easily identify the transmission.

Lock Out Function — lets you set your scanner to skip

over specified channels or frequencies when scanning

or searching, and skip over IDs when tracking trunked

systems.

Key Lock — lets you lock the scanner's keys to help

prevent accidentally changing the scanner's program-

ming.

Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector — provides ex-

cellent reception and is designed to help prevent anten-

na breakage.

Memory Backup — keeps the frequencies stored in

memory for an extended time even without internal bat-

teries.

Three Power Options — let you power the scanner with

internal batteries (non-rechargeable batteries or re-

chargeable batteries, not supplied). You can also use an

AC adapter (not supplied) or power the scanner in a ve-

hicle using a DC adapter (not supplied).

Supplied Trunking Guide — provides a quick refer-

ence to public safety trunking radio systems in the Unit-

ed States.

Your scanner can receive these frequencies:

• 25–54 MHz

• 108–136.9875 MHz

8Features

• 137–174 MHz

• 216.0025–225 MHz

• 406–512 MHz

• 806–823.9875 MHz

• 849–868.9875 MHz

• 894–960 MHz

• 1240–1300 MHz

Use “A General Guide to Frequencies” on Page 64 to

help you target frequency ranges in your service area so

you can search for a wide variety of transmissions.

The FCC Wants You to

Know

This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part

15 of the

FCC Rules

. These limits are designed to pro-

vide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communica-

tions.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-

tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment

off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the in-

terference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

Features

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-

ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC Rules

. Op-

eration is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

Note: Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires

a permit in some areas. Check the laws in your area.

SCANNING LEGALLY

Scanning is a fun and interesting hobby. You can hear

police and fire departments, ambulance services, gov-

ernment agencies, private companies, amateur radio

services, aircraft, and military operations. It is legal to lis-

ten to almost every transmission your scanner can re-

ceive. However, there are some electronic and wire

communications that are illegal to intentionally intercept.

These include:

• telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other

private means of telephone signal transmission)

• pager transmissions

• scrambled or encrypted transmissions

According to the Federal Electronic Communications Pri-

vacy Act (ECPA), as amended, you could be fined and

possibly imprisoned for intentionally listening to, using,

or disclosing the contents of such a transmission unless

you have the consent of a party to the communication

(unless such activity is otherwise illegal). These laws

change from time to time and there might be state or lo-

cal laws that also affect legal scanner usage.

POWER SOURCES

You can power your scanner from any of three sources:

• internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable

batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries” on

Page 10).

• standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter —

see "“Using AC Power” on Page 13)

• vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see

“Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 13)

Notes:

• Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis-

connects internal batteries when you use the sup-

plied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does

not disconnect internal batteries when you use the

supplied rechargeable battery holder.

• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you

can operate the scanner and recharge the

rechargeable batteries at the same time. See "Using

Batteries" and “Charging Rechargeable Batteries”

on Page 12.

• If the scanner stops working properly after connect-

ing it to power, try resetting it. See “Resetting/Initial-

izing the Scanner” on Page 79.

Using Batteries

You can power the scanner with four AA batteries (not

supplied). For the longest operation and best perfor-

mance, we recommend alkaline batteries, available at

your local RadioShack store.

You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable bat-

tery holder (black), or the supplied rechargeable battery

holder (yellow). If you use the rechargeable battery hold-
