PRO-27 20-Channel Programmable Scanner
(200-0507)                 Features                   Faxback Doc. # 31201

Your new Radio Shack PRO-27 20-Channel Direct-Entry Programmable Scanner
lets you in on all the action!  This scanner gives you direct access to
more than 20,000 frequencies, including police and fire departments,
amateur radio, and ambulance and transportation services.  You can search
the seven preprogrammed frequency bands and store up to 20 frequencies
into the 20 available channels so you can easily scan them.

The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is its
custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in computer.

Your scanner includes these features:

20 Programmable Channels - let you store frequencies into the
                           scanner's memory.

             Band Search - lets you search the seven preprogrammed
                           frequency bands for active frequencies, and
                           direct the Search upward or downward through the
                           bands.

   Two-Second Scan Delay - automatically delays scanning for about 2
                           seconds before moving to another channel, so
                           you can hear more replies.

        Lockout Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over specified
                           channels.

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

                 Keylock - prevents you from accidentally changing the
                           scanner's programming.

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

           Memory Backup - protects the frequencies stored in your
                           scanner's programming.

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

           Memory Backup - protects the frequencies stored in your
                           scanner's memory for up to 60 minutes without
                           power.

       Low Battery Alarm - lets you know when the batteries get low.

  Optional Power Sources - let you power the scanner from internal
                           batteries, a standard AC outlet (using an
                           optional AC adapter), or a vehicle's battery
                           (using an optional DC adapter).

  Ni-Cd Battery Charging - lets you recharge nickel-cadmium batteries while
  Circuit                  they are inside the battery compartment.

           BNC Connector - lets you connect the supplied flexible antenna
                           or an optional outdoor antenna.

       Audio Output Jack - lets you connect optional earphones or
                           headphones so you can listen privately, or
                           external speakers so you can listen in a noisy
                           area.

Your PRO-27 scanner covers these bands:

    29-50 MHz (VHF Lo)                148-174 MHz (VHF Hi)

    50-54 MHz                         406-450 MHz
    (6-Meter Ham Band)                (Ham radio and government)

    137-144 MHz (Government)          450-470 MHz
                                      (UHF Standard)

    144-148 MHz                       470-512 MHz
                                      (UHF "T" Band)

IMPORTANT:  In some areas, the mobile use of a scanner might be unlawful or
            require a permit.  Check the laws in your area.  Radio Shack
