Your RadioShack PRO-2018 200-Channel Desktop
Scanner lets you in on all the action! 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:
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.
Memory Backup — keeps the channel frequencies stored
in memory for about 1 hour during a power loss.
HyperSearch™ and HyperScan™ — 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.
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.
Supplied Telescoping Antenna — lets the scanner
receive strong local signals.
External Antenna Terminal — lets you connect an
external antenna (not supplied) to the scanner.
