Press 6 and FUNC for the lower case set , then press 1. Page Band Charts 4. Rotate SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the rushing sound stops. After 2 seconds if the delay feature is on , the scanner starts searching. Page 39 Beyond the Basics If you enter a non-valid step frequency, any scanner will tune to the next step. Some scanner designs do this without showing the correct step in the display. This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the display.
Whenever this feature is turned on, Zeromatic ON. When you turn this feature off, ZM changes to small caps zm and the scanner stops when it detects an active signal. In this mode all alerts are received. FIPS settings are ignored. The scanner sounds an alert or beep when it receives the SAME code. Using the Skywarn feature in your scanner, you can easily jump to one of three Skywarn repeater frequencies and monitor these reports, in many cases hearing about severe weather in your area instantly as it occurs.
ChXXX appears. Stalker appears and the frequency range is divided by 1 MHz segment. If you lock out 5 frequencies within a 1 MHz segment, the scanner will skip that segment in subsequent sweeps. For example, to turn off bank 1, press 1.
The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the banks you turned off. The scanner locks out the frequency, then continues searching. The scanner does not store locked out frequencies during With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels and still not miss an important or interesting Page 58 Beyond the Basics on, the scanner checks that channel every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until the activity stops.
The priority feature does not operate while the scanner Notes Notes receives a trunking voice channel or during trunking delay time. Page Changing The Receive Mode However, some amateur radio transmissions and trunked systems do not operate in the preset mode.
If you try to listen to a transmission when the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode, the transmission might sound weak or distorted. There are two attenuator modes in your scanner. Page 62 Follow these steps to change the backlight mode and duration: 1. If the scanner is on, turn it off and back on again. While Multi-System Trunking Scanner appears, press 3.
Page Using The Keylock Beyond the Basics using the keylock Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program changes by turning on the key lock feature.
Follow these steps to clone the data. Turn on both scanners. Your PRO automatically calculates Motorola voice channel frequencies when it decodes the control channel. This eliminates the need to enter all the Motorola group frequencies. Your scanner lets you easily hear both the call and response transmissions for that 2-way radio user and therefore follow the conversation. Page Setting Squelch For Trunking Mode Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk scanning when it decodes control channel data.
However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the rushing sound stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel. Trunking mode not selected, press Mode key.
Press PGM to enter the program mode. Enter the desired trunking frequency then press ENT to If the dual entry is an error press CL and enter the correct frequency. On the MHz trunking band, you can select a base Notes Notes frequency normal or offset. On the MHz trunking band, you do not need to set the base frequency base, offset, step.
Page 72 Beyond the Basics 3. This makes it easy to listen only to talk groups you are interested in and exclude others. When you select a system voice channel manually, any transmission opens squelch, regardless of the current mode. In open mode, the scanner stops on any transmission. If the ID is stored, the text tag appears on the display. Otherwise, the talk group ID appears on the display. In closed mode, the scanner only stops on a transmission if the ID is stored.
In open mode, the scanner scans signals transmitted in all systems. In closed mode, the scanner stops only on signals that have an ID code which is found in the ID list for the bank.
Also, the scanner scans signals transmitted only under the following conditions:. You can also select the user or talk groups you want the scanner to receive in closed mode. Welcome to ManualMachine.

The Basics listening safely To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas. Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna touches a power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. The Basics using the belt clip To make your scanner easier to carry when you are on the go, use the supplied belt clip by attaching it to the back of the scanner.
To remove the battery clip, slide it upward while pulling the tab toward you. AM mode The AM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using amplitude modulation AM , primarily used for aircraft,. The Basics military, some amateur radio, and some government transmissions.
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the AM mode, it always stops on the transmission. FM mode The FM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency modulation FM , used for most public safety transmissions, as well as broadcast, business, and amateur radio transmissions.
The Basics transmissions. Motorola mode You can set your scanner so it decodes the talk group IDs used with Motorola trunking systems. IMHO they are a mess. I can't remember everything and find myself referring back to the manual for explanations of procedures and find it frustrating trying to figure out the wording every time. I decided to write and. This should also make it easier for most people to use some of the more advanced features of the radio. Granted, these radios aren't simple so you.
If you follow the red highlighted text in the programming sections, you should find what you need to know. If you. Some of the better features of these radios are the ability to receive tone codes in certain service searches, the seek feature in search mode that resumes searching after 5 seconds, and the.
IDs can be locked out in open mode vs. The Skywarn lets you program 3 Skywarn frequencies or any other conventional freqs into channels. The best one, in my opinion, is the ability to configure everything in the. Much easier to work with the keyboard and see the monitor. You can set the attenuator globally or per channel.
With a couple of keystrokes, you can view the IDs as text or code. Now, on the flip side, there are some pretty annoying things about these radios too. They still have preset steps that will not tune to many of the splinter frequencies in the VHF range except the. The Air service search is relatively slow because of the 8. Still only 1 priority channel? The backlight goes out long before. An overview of the features can also be viewed at my Trunking Radio Comparison Chart page.
You will also need a better antenna. The stock rubber duck isn't fabulous. You may be able to find others on the web but RS is convenient so you can buy it and take it back in the same day if you don't like it.
Read the reviews for each at the. My opinion is get the software if you have a. With all the features and setting in these new fangled devices it will save you hours of programming and frustration. It may also be easier to figure out the software than the. Alpha tagging is great but much easier with the software. Because of the limited amount of keys on the radios, programming a 3 letter word takes about 20 keystrokes on my. See what I mean? Get the software. All in all, they will compliment your scanner collection provided you have one.
I will assume you know how to obtain the basic information from the original manual such as following safety procedures, putting the batteries in, connecting the antenna, finding specs, etc. I hereby absolve myself from anything that happens to anyone or the scanner as a result of the information you will be reading.

Radio shack owner's manual handheld scanner pro 92 pages. Displays the weather event text with four alert levels so you can see and hear the reason for the alert. Also has 3 programmable Skywarn channels. Can be turned off. At certain times, the radio can be in more than one mode at a time such as program and trunk mode to program trunked functions.
The trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and also sends on a different frequency called a Data or Control channel a code that uniquely identifies that transmission as a talkgroup ID or just ID. So when you are trunktracking a system, you are listening to active IDs transmitting in the system each using the first available frequency in the system. Trunking systems in general allocate and use fewer frequencies among many different users.
Since the trunking system might send a call and its response on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a conventional scanner. These scanners let you monitor the control channel frequency so you can hear calls and responses for users and more easily "follow" conversations than with a conventional scanner. There may be 3 or 4 frequencies assigned as primary or alternate control channels but only one control channel will be active at a time. These scanners will allow you to program just Motorola control channels into the trunking system and the voice channels will automatically be found but not programmed.
This control channel is also a good check to see if you can trunktrack the system. If you can't hear a control channel when you step through the trunking frequencies in manual mode , you either don't have all the frequencies or are too far away to receive the control channel and the system.
Motorola systems are limited to a maximum of 28 frequencies per system or site. These scanners can't monitor digital systems. LTR systems work a little differently.
LTR systems typically do not have a dedicated control channel. This type of system encodes all trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. The frequencies also have to be in LCN Logical Channel Number order or the correct 'slot' for the system to trunktrack properly. The Repeater Finder Tool will help you determine the correct order. Each repeater has its own controller, and all of these controllers are synchronized together.
Even though each controller monitors its own channel, one of the channel controllers is assigned to be a master that all controllers report to. Each of these controllers sends out a data burst approximately every 10 seconds so that the subscriber units know that the system is there.
This data burst is not sent at the same time by all the channels, but happens randomly throughout all the system channels. If you listen to the frequencies of an LTR Decimal IDs are shown as a decimal number from 0 to If the receive mode of the channel is set to CT, PL codes appear in the format xxx.
If the receive mode of the channel is set to DC, DPL codes appear in the format xxx, where xxx is an octal code. Your scanner can receive transmissions that use these codes or more commonly referred to as tones. Coded squelch techniques involve the transmission of a special 'code' signal along with the audio of a radio transmission. A receiver with coded squelch only activates when the received signal has the correct 'code'.
This lets many users share a single frequency, and decreases interference caused by distant transmitters on the same channel. In all major metropolitan areas of the United States, every available radio channel is assigned to more than one user.
Public safety radio systems on the same frequency are usually set up at a distance of 40 miles apart, or more. This means that you may hear transmissions from a distant system when your local system is not transmitting. By programming the CTCSS tone for a local channel the scanner will not stop on transmissions from the distant system. Open and Closed Modes Each channel bank can be set to open or closed mode. The display information helps you understand how your scanner operates.
In Scan Mode 1st Line The banks that are selected for scanning will appear and the cursor will blink on the bank being scanned. If there is a dot instead of the bank number, then the bank is not on for scanning. PRIct appears if priority is on monitoring a channel in CT mode. PRIdc appears if priority is on monitoring a channel in DC mode. PRIwx appears if priority is on monitoring a weather channel.
