Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack

200-Channel VHF/AIR/UHF Desktop

Scanner. This scanner gives you direct

access to over 25,000 frequencies, including

those used by police and fire departments,

ambulance services, government agencies,

air, and amateur radio services. You can

select up to 200 channels to scan, and you

can change your selection at any time.

The secret to your scanner's ability to scan

so many frequencies is its built-in

microprocessor. Your scanner also has

these special features:

Four Service Banks

— let you search

preset frequencies in separate fire/police, air,

ham radio, and marine banks, to make it

easy to locate specific types of calls.

Two-Second Scan Delay

— delays

scanning for 2 seconds before moving to

another channel, so you can hear more

replies.

Ten Channel-Storage Banks

— let you

store up to 20 channels in each of 10

different banks, to group channels so you

can more easily identify calls.

20 Monitor Memories

— let you temporarily

save up to 20 frequencies you locate during

a search, so you can move selected

frequencies to channel storage later.

Memory Backup

— keeps the channel

frequencies stored in memory for about 1

hour during a power loss.

HyperSearch

TM

and

HyperScan

TM

— let

you set the scanner to search at up to 50

steps per second and to scan at up to 25

channels per second, to help quickly find

interesting transmissions.

Duplicate Frequency Check

—

automatically notifies you if you are about to

store a frequency you have already stored,

to help avoid wasting storage space.

Direct Search

— lets you search for new

and unlisted frequencies starting from a

specified frequency.

Priority Channel

— lets you program a

frequency in the priority channel to be

scanned every 2 seconds so you do not miss

important calls.

Weather Band (WX) Key

— scans seven

preprogrammed weather frequencies to keep

you informed about current weather

conditions.

Weather Alert

— automatically sounds the

alarm tone to advise of hazardous weather

conditions when the scanner detects an alert

signal on the local NOAA weather channel.

Lock-Out Function

— lets you set your

scanner to skip over specified channels or

frequencies when scanning or searching.

Liquid Crystal Display

— makes it easy to

view and change programming information

at any time.

Display Backlight

— makes the scanner

easy to read in low light situations.

Supplied Telescoping Antenna

— lets the

scanner receive strong local signals.

External Antenna Terminal

— lets you

connect an external antenna (not supplied)

to the scanner.
