Handheld Scanner
(200-0564) Features Faxback Doc. # 38252
Your new Radio Shack PRO-64 400-Channel Portable Scanner gives you direct
access to over 32,000 exciting frequencies, including police and fire
departments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services. You can
select up to 400 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
custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in computer.
Your scanner has these special features:
Hyperscan - lets you scan up to 25 channels
per second and search up to
50 steps per second.
Triple Conversion - virtually eliminates any
Superheterodyne Receiver interference from intermediate
frequency (IF) images, so you
hear only the frequency you
select.
17 Preprogrammed Search Bands - let you search for transmissions
within preset frequency ranges,
so you can find interesting
frequencies more quickly.
40 Monitor Memories - let you search for new and
unlisted frequencies starting
from a specified frequency.
Limit Frequency Search - lets you search for new and
unlisted frequencies within the
preset frequency ranges or your
own programmed frequency ranges
in the 10 search banks.
Eleven Preprogrammed - keep you informed about current
Weather Frequencies weather conditions.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks - let you store 40 channels in
each bank to group channels so
calls are easier to identify.
Sort - lets you move frequencies you
stored in a bank into
consecutive order. This makes
it easy for you to identify the
frequencies you have stored.
Auto Store - quickly finds and automatically
stores active frequencies in
each channel.
Duplicate Frequency Check - automatically notifies you if
you are about to store a
frequency you have already
stored, to help avoid wasting
storage space.
Liquid Crystal Display - makes it easy to view and change
programming information.
Ten Priority Channels - let you set the scanner so it
checks the next priority
channel, in order, every
2 seconds, so you do not miss
important calls.
Two-Second Scan Delay - delays scanning for about
2 seconds before moving to
another channel or frequency, so
you can hear more replies.
Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to
skip over specified channels or
frequencies when scanning or
searching.
Key Lock - lets you lock the keys to help
prevent accidentally changing
the scanner's programming.
Display Backlight - makes the scanner easy to read
in low light situations.
Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector - provides excellent reception.
The BNC connector is designed so
you can easily attach and remove
the antenna.
Memory Backup - keeps the frequencies stored in
memory for about 1 hour during a
power loss.
Three Power Options - let you power the scanner from
internal batteries
(non-rechargeable batteries or a
rechargeable scanner battery
pack) or external AC or DC power
(using an optional adapter).
Frequency Data Loading - lets you program the scanner
with frequencies stored in a
personal computer. You need a
personal computer and a data
interface kit (available through
your local Radio Shack store) to
use this feature.
We recommend you record your scanner's serial number here. This number is
on the scanner's back panel.
Serial Number:__________________________________________

SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by may different groups including
police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies,
private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager
services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is
legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive.
However there are some transmissions you should never intentionally listen
to.
These include:
Telephone conversations (either cellular, cordless, or other private
means of telephone signal transmission)
Pager transmissions
Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are
subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to,
using, or divulging the contents of such a transmission unless you have
the consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal). Radio Shack encourages responsible, legal scanner
use.
