PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner
(200-0460) Search and Storing Active Frequencies Faxback Doc. # 16913
You can store frequencies into channels using any of the following methods:
Manual storage
Auto storage
Limit search (within a range of frequencies you select)
Direct search (any range of frequencies before or after a frequency you
select)
Moving a frequency from a monitor memory
Good references for active frequencies are Radio Shack's "Police Call Radio
Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Aeronautical Frequency
Directory," and "Maritime Frequency Directory." We update these
directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy. See also "Guide
to the Action Bands".
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, follow the
steps in "Automatically Storing Frequencies" or "Limit Search" to search
for transmissions.
Manually Storing Frequencies
If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it manually.
1. Press PROGRAM. PROGRAM appears.
2. To select the channel where you want to store the frequency, either
turn TUNING until the channel number appears, or use the number keys to
enter the channel number. Then press PROGRAM.
3. Using the number keys, enter the frequency you want to store into that
channel.
4. Press ENTER to store the frequency.
NOTES: If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 3, the scanner
beeps and displays the channel number and ERROR. Simply repeat
steps 3 and 4.
The scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to
the closet valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter a
frequency of 151.473, the scanner accepts it as 151.470.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to store more frequencies into channels.
Automatically Storing Frequencies
The scanner can automatically store active frequencies into empty channels
in the banks you specify.
1. Press AUTO. AUTO appears.
2. Using the number keys, select the numbers of the banks where you
want to store frequencies.
NOTES: To select a bank that does not contain any empty channels, a
bar flashes under the bank number, and -FULL- and AUTO appear.
To enter new frequencies into this bank, you must delete one or
more frequencies stored in it, then repeat Step 2. See
"Deleting Frequencies."
If you select a bank that contains an empty channel, a bar
flashes under the bank number, and AC-, the number of vacant
channels in the bank, Ch, and AUTO appear.
If you do not want to select the bank, press the bank's number
again.
If you select more than one bank and want to review your
selections, turn TUNING one click for each selected bank. As
you turn TUNING, a bar flashes under each selected bank number.
3. Press LIMIT. Lo appears.
4. Use the number keys to enter the lower limit of the frequency range you
want to search, then press ENTER.
NOTES: If you enter an invalid frequency in Step 4 or 6, the scanner
displays ERROR. Simply repeat the step.
If you enter any frequency in a range from 823.950 to 823.995
MHz for a lower limit in this step, the scanner displays and
uses 823.950 as the lower limit after you press ENTER. If you
enter any frequency in a range from 868.950 to 868.995 MHz for
a lower limit in this step, the scanner displays and uses
868.950 as the lower limit after your press ENTER.
5. Press LIMIT. Hi appears.
6. Use the number keys to enter the upper limit of the frequency range you
want to search, then press ENTER.
NOTE: If you enter any frequency in a range from 849.005 to 849.050
MHz for an upper limit in this step, the scanner displays and
uses 849.050 as the upper limit after you press ENTER. If you
enter any frequency in a range from 894.005 to 894.050 MHz for
an upper limit in this step, the scanner displays and uses
894.050 as the upper limit after you press ENTER.
7. Press the UP ARROW to search from the lower to the upper limit, or
DOWN ARROW to search from the upper to the lower limit. AUTO and
the bar under the selected bank number flash on the display.
When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stores the
frequency in the displayed channel, then continues searching for
more active frequencies and storing them in any subsequent empty
channels. When the scanner fills all channels within the selected
banks, the scanner beeps rapidly and displays the number of the
last channel where a frequency was stored.
NOTE: During auto store, you can manually change the frequency step or
band mode. See "Changing/Resetting the Frequency Step" or
"Changing/Resetting the Band Mode."
8. To interrupt auto store, press AUTO. The scanner displays the last
channel number where a frequency was stored. To continue auto store,
press the UP or DOWN ARROW.
9. To stop auto store, press MANUAL. MANUAL appears.
Limit Search
You can search for transmissions within a range of frequencies you select,
called the limit search range. You can set and store up to ten limit
search ranges into search banks (1-10).
NOTES: You can use the scanner's delay feature while using limit search.
See "Delay."
When the scanner searches for frequencies within limit search
range, you can store frequencies you hear during the search into
monitor memories.
Follow these steps to set and store limit search ranges and search them for
active frequencies.
1. Press PROGRAM. PROGRAM appears.
2. Using the number keys, select the number for the search bank where
you want to store a limit search range.
NOTE: To select bank 10, press 0.
3. Press LIMIT. SEARCH BANK and Lo appear, and a bar flashes under the
selected search bank's number. If you already entered limit search
ranges in other search banks, a bar appears under each search bank's
number.
4. Use the number keys to enter the lower limit of the frequency range you
want to search, then press ENTER.
NOTES: If you enter an invalid frequency in Step 4 or 6, the scanner
displays ERROR. Simply repeat the step.
If you enter any frequency in a range from 823.950 to 823.995
MHz for a lower limit in this step, the scanner displays and
uses 823.950 as the lower limit after you press ENTER. If you
enter any frequency in a range from 868.950 to 868.995 MHz for a
lower limit in this step, the scanner displays and uses 868.950
as the lower limit after you press ENTER.
5. Press LIMIT. SEARCH BANK and Hi appear.
6. Use the number keys to enter the upper limit of the frequency range you
want to search, then press ENTER.
NOTES: If you create more than one search bank and you want to review
your limit search ranges, turn TUNING one click for each
selected search bank. As you turn TUNING, a bar flashes under
the active search bank number, and either Lo or Hi is
displayed. Press LIMIT to review the high and low limits of
the frequency ranges for the selected search bank.
If you enter any frequency in a range from 849.005 to 849.050
MHz for an upper limit in this step, the scanner displays and
uses 849.050 as the upper limit after you press ENTER. If you
enter any frequency in a range from 894.005 to 894.050 MHz for
an upper limit in this step, the scanner displays and uses
894.050 as the upper limit after you press ENTER.
7. Press the UP ARROW to search from the lower to the upper limit, or the
DOWN ARROW to search from the upper to the lower limit. As the scanner
searches, it displays SEARCH, and the bar under the selected search
bank number flashes.
When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops searching. To
save the frequency into a monitor memory, press MONITOR. MON and the
current monitor channel number appear on the display. Press the UP or
DOWN ARROW again to continue searching for additional active
frequencies.
NOTES: If you set the limit search range to a range that is narrower than
the step frequency, the scanner beeps and displays -PASS- when you
press the UP or DOWN ARROW. To correct this problem, either press
STEP to change the step frequency or enter a wider frequency or
enter a wider frequency range in Steps 4 and 6.
As the scanner searches, you can also use TUNING to search through
frequencies manually by pressing TUNE, then turning the TUNING
knob. Press TUNE again to continue the limit search.
During the limit search, you can manually change the frequency step
or band mode. See "Changing/Resetting the Frequency Step" or
"Changing/Resetting the Band Mode."
DIRECT SEARCH
You can search up or down from the currently displayed frequency and store
frequencies you hear during the search into monitor memories.
NOTE: You can use the scanner's delay feature while using direct search.
See "Delay."
