PRO-26 Portable 200-Channel Scanner (200-0506) Features Faxback Doc. # 17719 Your Radio Shack PRO-26 Portable 200-Channel Scanner lets you in on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to over 76,000 exciting frequencies used by police and fire departments, ambulance and transportation services, amateur radio, aircraft communications, Citizen's Band, and commercial FM and television broadcasts. You can select up to 200 channels for your scanner to scan. 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 features: Continuous Coverage - receives from 25 MHz to 1.3 GHz (excluding cellular service frequencies). HyperScan - scans through programmed channels at 50 channels per second. Ten Channel-Storage Banks - let you store 20 channels in each of 10 banks to group frequencies so you can easily identify calls. Monitor Memories - let you store up to 10 frequencies you locate during a frequency search which you can then transfer into channels. Limit Search - lets you search for transmissions within a set range. Direct Search - lets you search from the current frequency. Search Skip - lets you select up to 50 frequencies for the scanner to skip during a search, so you can avoid frequencies you have already discovered. Auto Sort - lets you scan the stored channels in order from lowest to highest frequency to increase scanning speed. HyperSearch - lets you set the scanner to search at 300 steps/second (in 5 kHz steps only). Auto Store - quickly fines and automatically stores active frequencies into the selected banks (does not store the frequency if it is already stored in another channel). 2- or 4-Second Scan Delay - delays scanning for 2 or 4 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies. Data Skip - skips nonmodulated signals or data signals during a limit or direct search. Lock-Out function - prevents channels you select from being scanned. Priority Channel - checks a specified channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss important calls. Automatic Modulation Mode - selects the modulation method--narrow-band frequency modulation (NFM), wide-band frequency modulation (WFM), or amplitude modulation (AM)- -most often used for each band, and lets you manually override the preset mode (see "Changing the Modulation Mode"). Selectable Frequency Step - lets you select the frequency step during a limit or direct search. Weather Band Key - scans the preprogrammed weather frequencies to keep you informed of the most current weather conditions. Attenuator - adjust the scanner's sensitivity to help eliminate interference from strong, nearby transmitters. Low Battery Indicator - warns you when battery power gets low. Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for up to 3 days during a power loss. Optional Power Sources - let you power your scanner from alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries, or AC or DC power, and even recharge rechargeable batteries in the scanner. Your scanner can receive all of these bands: Default Frequency Range Mode Step ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25.0000 - 28.9950 MHz AM 5.0 kHz 29.0000 - 53.9950 MHz NFM 5.0 kHz 59.7500 - 71.7500 MHz WFM 6.0 MHz 72.0000 - 75.9950 MHz NFM 5.0 kHz 81.7500 - 87.7500 MHz WFM 6.0 MHz 88.1000 - 107.9000 MHz WFM 200.0 kHz 108.0000 - 136.9875 MHz AM 12.5 kHz 137.0000 - 173.9950 MHz NFM 5.0 kHz 179.7500 - 215.7500 MHz WFM 6.0 MHz 216.0000 - 224.9950 MHz NFM 5.0 kHz 225.0000 - 399.9875 MHz AM 12.5 kHz 400.0000 - 511.9875 MHz NFM 12.5 kHz 517.7500 - 805.7500 MHz WFM 6.0 MHz 806.0000 - 823.9375 MHz NFM 12.5 kHz 851.0000 - 868.9375 MHz NFM 12.5 kHz 896.1125 - 1300.0000 MHz NFM 12.5 kHz The following Weather Service channels are preprogrammed into your scanner. 162.4000 MHz (NFM) 162.4250 MHz (NFM) 162.4500 MHz (NFM) 162.4750 MHz (NFM) 162.5000 MHz (NFM) 162.5250 MHz (NFM) 162.5500 MHz (NFM) 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 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. 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.
