Your Radio Shack PRO-2044 Programmable 80-Channel Home Scanner lets you in
on all the action!  This scanner gives you direct access to over 23,000
exciting frequencies, including those used by police and fire departments,
ambulance and transportation services, aircraft communications, government
agencies, and amateur radio services.  You can select up to 80 channels to
scan and you can change your selections at any time.

The scanner's frequency bands let you search specific pre-set ranges of
frequencies quickly and easily. The data detection feature lets you prevent
the scanner from stopping on data signals, so you can quickly scan for
interesting signals.

Your scanner has all these special features:

Hyperscan - lets you scan 50 channels per second.

Hypersearch - lets you set the scanner to search at up to 300 steps per
second in frequency bands with 5 kHz steps, to help you quickly find
interesting broadcasts.

Weather Band Key - scans seven preprogrammed weather frequencies to keep
you informed about current weather conditions.

Ten Channel-Storage Banks - lets you store eight channels in each bank to
group channels so calls are easier to identify.

Ten Monitor Memories - lets you temporarily save 10 frequencies located
during a frequency search, so you can decide if you want to move them to
permanent channel storage.

Ten Priority Channels - lets you set the scanner to check up to 10-channels
every 2 seconds so you do not miss important calls.

Eight Frequency Bands - lets you quickly and easily search preset frequency
ranges, so you can find new and unlisted broadcasts.

Band Search - lets you select and search a frequency band.

Direct Search - lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the scanner to
skip during a search, so you can search more efficiently.

Search Skip - lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the scanner to skip
during a search, so you can search more efficiently.

Data Detection - while scanning or searching, you can set the scanner to
detect non-modulated data signals, such as preamble signals for pagers, to
keep the scanner from stopping on these frequencies.

Two-Second Channel Scan/Search Delay - lets you set the scanner so it de-
lays scanning or searching for 2 seconds before moving to another channel/
frequency, so you can hear more replies.

Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you perform an
operation correctly, and sounds an error tone if you make an error.

Memory Backup - keeps channel frequencies stored in memory for 3 days or
more during a power loss.

Lock-Out Function - keeps channels you select from being scanned, so you
can skip over busy channels such as those with a continuous transmission.

Squelch Control - lets you adjust the scanner's sensitivity low enough to
receive weak signals or high enough to eliminate receiver noise when not
receiving a signal.

Backlit Display - makes it easy to view and change programming information
at any time.

AUDIO Jack - lets you connect an amplified external speaker, or an earphone
or headphones for private listening.

Supplied Telescoping Antenna - lets you receive strong local signals

External Antenna Terminal - lets you connect an external antenna (not supplied) to the scanner.
