PRO-2048 200-Channel Programmable Home Scanner
(200-0417) Features Faxback Doc. # 47901
Your RadioShack PRO-2048 200-Channel Programmable Home Scanner lets you in
on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to over 30,000
exciting frequencies that include police and fire departments, ambulance
and transportation services, and amateur radio. You can select up to 200
channels to scan, and you can change your selections at any time.
The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is the
custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in computer.
Your scanner also has these features:
Manual or Scan Channel Select - lets you manually specify a
single channel or set the
scanner to automatically scan
all the stored channels.
Triple Conversion Superheterodyne - virtually eliminates any
Receiver interference from intermediate
frequency (IF) images, so you
hear only the frequency you
select.
Search Function - searches for new and unlisted
frequencies using a designated
frequency range (limit search)
or starting from a specified
frequency (direct search).
Selectable Scan/Search Speeds - lets you select normal or
HyperScan speeds, and normal,
high, or HyperSearch speeds.
HyperScan - scans 50 channels per second.
HyperSearch - searches through frequencies at
300 steps per second in bands
that have 5 kHz steps to help
you find interesting broadcasts.
Ten 20-Channel Storage Banks - lets you store 20 channels in
each of 10 banks to group
frequencies so you can easily
identify calls.
Ten Priority Channels - lets you set the scanner to
check up to 10 channels every 2
seconds so you do not miss
important calls.
Data Signal Skip - lets you set the scanner to skip
non-modulated signals or data
signals during a limit or direct
search so it can automatically
continue searching.
Monitor Memories - lets you store up to 10
frequencies you locate during a
frequency search which you can
then transfer into channels.
Search Skip - lets you select up to 20
frequencies for the scanner to
skip during a limit or direct
search, so you can avoid
unwanted frequencies such as
those with a continuous
transmission.
Adjustable Tone - lets you turn on or off the beep
you hear when you press a key.
Two-Second Scan Delay - Delays scanning for 2 seconds
before moving to another
channel, so you can hear more
replies.
Weather Band Key - scans the preprogrammed weather
frequencies so you can stay
informed about current weather
conditions.
Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies
stored in your scanner's memory
for up to 3 days during a power
loss.
Squelch Control - lets you adjust the receiver's
sensitivity low enough to
receive weak signals or high
enough to eliminate receiver
noise when not receiving a
signal.
Lock-Out Function - prevents channels you select
from being scanned.
Backlit Liquid Crystal Display - lets you easily see the
indicators on the scanner's
display, even at night.
Audio Output Jack - lets you connect an earphone or
headphones for private
listening, or an external
speaker for listening in a
remote or noisy area.
Optional Antenna Terminals - lets you connect the supplied
telescoping antenna to the
screw-in terminal, or an
external antenna to the BNC
connector.
Optional Power Sources - you can power your scanner using
the supplied AC adapter or an
optional DC cigarette-lighter
power cable.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this system to
rain or moisture.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or
back. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.

FCC NOTICE
Your scanner might cause radio or TV interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine if your scanner is causing the
interference, turn off your scanner. If the interference goes away, your
scanner was causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:
Moving your scanner away from the receiver.
Connecting your scanner to an outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver.
Contacting your local RadioShack store for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your scanner.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many 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 conversation (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal). We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
Note: Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit in some
areas. Check the laws in your area.
