PRO-2066 150-Channel Mobile Trunking Scanner

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a period of 2 or
more seconds between a query and a reply.  To keep from missing a reply on
a specific channel, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or
frequency.  The scanner continues to monitor the channel frequency for 2
seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or
searching.

To program a 2-second delay:

  If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel where you want
  to store a delay, quickly press DELAY before it continues scanning
  again.  DLY appears.

  If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel,
  then press DELAY.  DLY appears.

  If the scanner is searching, press DELAY while the scanner is searching.
  DLY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every
  frequency it stops on in that band.

To turn off the 2-second delay, press DELAY while the scanner is
monitoring a channel, scanning, or searching.  DLY disappears.

TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off.  When you turn off a
bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 30 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want
to turn on or off.  Numbers appear at the top of the display, showing the
currently selected banks.

The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks that are not
locked out (see "Locking Out Channels" below).

Notes:  You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that
        bank is turned off.

        You cannot turn off all banks.  One bank must always be active.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels that have a
continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.  To lock out a
channel, manually select the channel, then press L/OUT.  L/O appears.

Note:  You can still manually select locked out channels.

To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel, then
press L/OUT.  L/O disappears.

To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on, press MANUAL to
stop scanning, then hold down L/OUT until the scanner beeps twice.

PRIORITY

The priority feature lets you scan through channels and still not miss
important or interesting calls on specific channels.  You can program one
stored channel in each bank as a priority channel (for up to a total of 5
stored channels).  If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner
scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks, it checks
each bank's priority channel every 2 seconds for activity.

The scanner automatically designates each bank's first channel as its
priority channel.  Follow these steps to select a different channel in a
bank as the priority channel.

1.  Press PROGRAM.

2.  Enter the channel number you want to select as the priority channel,
    then press PRIORITY.  [P] appears to the right of the channel number.

3.  Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the channel in each bank you want to program
    as a priority channel.

To review all priority channels, press PROGRAM, then repeatedly press
PRIORITY to see the numbers of the priority channels.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY during scanning.  PRI
appears.  Every 2 seconds, the scanner checks the priority channel in each
bank that is turned on.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY.  PRI disappears.

Notes:  The priority feature must be turned off to listen to the monitor
        memories or to use the data skip feature (see "Skipping Data
        Channels" below).

        If you lock out all priority channels, LOC OUt appears when you
        turn on the priority feature.

CHANGING SEARCH SPEEDS

The PRO-2066 has two search speeds.

  Normal Search                Hypersearch

100 steps/second             300 steps/second

To switch between the normal and Hypersearch speeds during a limit or
direct search, press H/S.  HYPER appears during Hypersearch.

Note:  You can use Hypersearch only in the 5 kHz step bands (26.965-27.405
       MHz, 29-54 MHz and 137-174 MHz).

TURNING THE KEY TONE OFF/ON

The scanner is preset to sound a tone when you press a key.  To turn off
the key tone, follow these steps.

1.  Turn off the scanner.

2.  While holding down L/OUT/S/S, turn on the scanner.  OFF bEEP appears.

SKIPPING DATA SIGNALS

You can set the scanner so it skips non-modulated or data signals (such as
fax or modem transmissions) during a search or scan.

Notes:  It takes at least 2 seconds for the scanner to automatically sense
        if a signal is a data signal.

        Since data signals are not generally found in the weather, CB, and
        air band, this feature does not work in these bands.

To turn on the data skip feature, be sure the priority feature is turned
off (see "Priority" above), then press DATA.  DATA appears.  To turn off
the feature, press DATA again.  DATA disappears.
