The Radio Shack PRO-24 16-Channel Direct-Entry Programmable Scanner
lets you in on all the action!  This scanner gives you direct access to
more than 30,000 frequencies that include police and fire departments,
amateur radio, ambulance, and transportation services.  You can select up
to 16 frequencies 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 also has these special features:

             Liquid-Crystal Display - shows the selected channel and
                                      frequency.

              Two-Second Scan Delay - delays scanning for two seconds
                                      before moving to another channel so
                                      you can hear more replies.

                   Keylock Function - protects your scanner from
                                      accidental program changes.

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

                      Memory Backup - protects the stations stored in your
                                      scanner's memory for up to 30
                                      minutes during a power loss.


                  Low Battery Alarm - lets you know when the batteries are
                                      weak.

Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector - provides excellent reception and is
                                      designed to help prevent antenna
                                      breakage.

Your scanner can receive all of these bands:

    29-29.7 MHz (10-Meter Amateur Radio)

    29.7-50 MHz (HF Hi, VHF Lo)

    50-54 MHz (6-Meter Amateur Radio)

    137-144 MHz (Government)

    144-148 MHz (2-Meter Amateur Radio)

    148-174 MHz (VHF Hi)

    406-450 MHz (70-Centimeter Amateur Radio and Government

    450-470 MHz (UHF Lo)

    470-512 MHz (UHF "T" band)

    806-823.9375 MHz (Public Service)

    851-868.9375 MHz (UHF Hi)

    896.1125-956 MHz (UHF Hi 33-Centimeter Amateur Radio)

In addition, your scanner is preprogrammed with these weather service
channels:

    162.400 MHz        162.475 MHz      162.550 MHz

    162.425 MHz        162.500 MHz

    162.450 MHz        162.525 MHz

This owner's manual includes the section "Guide to the Action Bands,"
which helps you target services in your area by giving you frequency
ranges to scan.

FCC NOTICE

Your scanner might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly.  To determine whether your scanner is causing the
interference, turn off your scanner.  If the interference goes away, your
scanner is causing the interference.  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 Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your scanner.

    Note:  Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit in
           some areas.  Check the laws in your area.
