The Radio Shack PRO-60 Programmable Scanner lets you in on all the action!
This scanner gives you direct access to more than 68,000 frequencies
including police, ambulance, ham radio, and transportation services.  You
can select up to 200 channels to scan, and 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 includes these special features:

Triple Conversion Superheterodyne - Virtually eliminates any interference
Receiver                            from IF (Intermediate Frequency)
                                    images, so you hear only the selected
                                    frequency.

                        Hyperscan - Searches through frequencies at 50
                                    steps per second or scans stored
                                    channels at 25 channels per second.

                   Monitor Memory - Lets you temporarily save up to 10
                                    frequencies you find during a frequency
                                    search so you can decide later if you
                                    want to store any of them into
                                    permanent channels.

          Direct Frequency Search - Gives you direct access to every
                                    available frequency so you can find
                                    interesting broadcasts.

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

        Ten Channel Storage Banks - Lets you store 20 channels in each of
                                    10 storage banks to group frequencies
                                    so you can easily identify calls.

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

                    Memory Backup - Keeps the frequencies stored in memory
                                    even when you remove the batteries.

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

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

                 Priority Channel - Lets you designate a channel to be
                                    scanned every 2 seconds, so you do
                                    not miss important calls.

                   AM/FM/WFM Mode - Automatically selects the most common
                                    reception type for the band you are
                                    scanning, and lets you override that
                                    selection.

           Battery-Saving Circuit - Draws only 40 percent of the normal
                                    operating power.

           Optional Power Sources - Lets you power the scanner from
                                    internal batteries, standard AC power
                                    (with an optional AC adapter), or from
                                    your vehicle's battery (with an
                                    optional DC auto adapter).

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