Weather Alert — the scanner automatically sounds an alert
when it receives a weather emergency signal, providing more
complete information about weather conditions in your immedi-
ate area.
Weather Band Key — scans seven preprogrammed weather
frequencies to keep you informed about current weather condi-
tions.
Wired Programming — you can connect your scanner to a per-
sonal computer and program frequencies into the scanner from
the computer using an optional cable and software.
Note: The necessary cable and software, and additional
information about using your personal computer to program
your scanner, are available at your local RadioShack store.
Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds before
moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies that
are transmitted on the same channel.
Priority Channel — lets you program a channel as the priority
channel. As the scanner scans, it checks the priority channel ev-
ery 2 seconds so you do not miss transmissions on that chan-
nel.

— let you set the scanner to
search at up to 50 steps per second (in frequency bands with 5
kHz steps) and scan at up to 25 channels per second, to help
you quickly find interesting broadcasts.
Manual Access — you can directly access any stored channel
by entering that channel’s number.
Key Lock — lets you lock the scanner’s keys to help prevent
accidentally changing the scanner’s programming.
Liquid-Crystal Display — makes it easy to view and change
programming information.
Supplied Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector — provides
good reception of strong local signals. You can connect an ex-
ternal antenna with a BNC connector to the scanner for im-
proved reception of distant/weaker signals.
