(200-0463)                 Features                   Faxback Doc. # 38896


Your new Radio Shack PRO-2041 400-Channel Programmable Home 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 there special features:

                           Hyperscan - lets you scan up to 25 channels
                                       per second and search up to 50
                                       steps per seconds.

   Triple Conversion Superheterodyne - virtually eliminates any
                           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 temporarily save up to
                                       40 frequencies located during a
                                       frequency search, so you can move
                                       selected frequencies to channel
                                       storage later.

             Direct Frequency Search - lets 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 Weather - keep you informed about current
                        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 into
                                       channels.

           Duplicate Frequency Check - automatically notifies you if you
                                       are about to store a frequency you
                                       have already stored, to help avoid
                                       wasting storage space.

                       Memory Backup - keeps the frequencies stored in
                                       memory during a power loss.

               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.

              Liquid Crystal Display - makes it easy to view and change
                                       programming information.

                     Backlit Display - makes the scanner easy to read
                                       in low light conditions.

                   Two Power Options - let you power the scanner from
                                       standard AC power (with the
                                       supplied AC power cord) or your
                                       vehicle's battery (with an optional
                                       DC cigarette-lighter power cord).

              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.
