INTRODUCTION

Your new RadioShack 200-Channel VHF/Air/UHF/800 MHz
Handheld Race Scanner lets you in on all the action in the pits
or on the track at the big race. This scanner gives you direct
access to over 33,500 frequencies, including those used by
participants and staff at auto races, police and fire depart-
ments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services. You
can select up to 200 channels to scan, and you can change
your selection at any time.

Your scanner also has these special features:

Five Service Banks — lets you search preset frequencies in
separate fire/police, air, ham radio, auto race, and marine
banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of calls.

Two-Second Scan/Search Delay — delays scanning for 2
seconds before moving to another channel, so you can hear
more replies.

Ten Channel-Storage Banks — you can store up to 20 chan-
nels 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 fre-
quencies you locate during a search, so you can move select-
ed frequencies to channel storage later.

Memory Backup — keeps the channel frequencies stored in
memory for about 1 hour during a power loss.

Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver — virtually
eliminates any interference from intermediate frequency (IF)
images, so you hear only the frequency you select.

help avoid wasting storage space.
