PRO-2030 80-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner
(200-0407) Operation Faxback Doc. # 45537
SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH
Follow these steps to set VOLUME and SQUELCH.
1. Set VOLUME to about 2 and SQUELCH to 10.
2. Slowly turn SQUELCH counterclockwise until you hear a hissing sound.
3. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable sound level.
4. Slowly rotate SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing stops.
Note: If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak
transmissions, rotate SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner's
sensitivity to these signals.
STORING FREQUENCIES
Your scanner has 90 channels into which you can store frequencies.
Follow these steps to store a frequency into a channel.
1. Press MAN. Enter the channel number you want to program.
2. Press PGM. PROGRAM appears on the display to indicate that the
scanner is in the programming mode.
3. Enter a frequency.
4. Press ENTER to store the frequency.
Notes: If you made a mistake in Step 3, Error appears on the display.
Press CLEAR and repeat Step 3.
Your scanner automatically rounds down the entered frequency
to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to
enter a frequency of 151.4730, your scanner accepts it as
151.4750.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 to program more channels.
Note: If you want to program the next channel in sequence, repeat Steps
2-4.
SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
Good references for active frequencies are RadioShack's "Police Call Guide
Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Official Aeronautical Frequency
Directory" and "Maritime Frequency Directory." We update these
directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, use these
procedures to search for a transmission. See also "A Guide to the Action
Bands" in Faxback Doc. # 17653.
Note: Press DLY if you want to make the scanner pause 2 seconds after a
transmission ends before it proceeds to the next frequency.
LIMIT SEARCH
Limit Search lets you search within a range of frequencies. -L- appears
on the display during a limit search.
1. Press PGM, then LIMIT. Lo appears on the display.
2. Enter the lower limit of the frequency range you want to search.
3. Press ENTER, then LIMIT. Hi appears on the display.
4. Enter the upper limit of the frequency range you want to search.
5. Press ENTER.
6. Press /\ to search up from the lower limit. Or press \/ to search
down from the upper limit.
7. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MON to store the
frequency in the current monitor memory, or press /\ or \/ to continue
the search.
Note: As you store frequencies in monitor memories, the flashing numbers
to the right of MON indicates the current monitor memory. The new
frequency will replace the previously stored frequency.
direct search
When you are in program or manual mode, you can search up or down from the
current displayed frequency. -d- appears on the display during a direct
search.
1. Press MAN and the channel number to select a channel into which you
have programmed a frequency. Then press MAN or PGM to enter the
channel number from which you want to start your search.
2. Press /\ or \/ to search up or down from the display frequency.
3. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MON to store the
frequency in the current monitor memory, or press /\ or \/ to continue
the search.
NOTE: Press DLY to make the scanner pause 2 seconds after a transmission
before it proceeds to the next frequency.
LISTENING TO MONITOR MEMORIES
You can listen to monitor memories by pressing MAN, MON, and then the
number for the monitor memory you want to listen to.
Moving A Frequency From A Monitor Memory To A Channel
Follow these steps to move a frequency from a monitor memory to a channel.
1. Press MAN. Enter the channel number you want to store the monitor
frequency into, then press PGM.
2. Press MON and enter the monitor memory number that has the frequency
you want to store.
3. Press ENTER. The scanner stores the monitor frequency into the
channel.
Note: If you want to return to a limit search after this procedure, press
LIMIT and either /\ or \/ to continue.
SCANNING THE CHANNELS
To begin scanning the channels in your scanner, press SCAN. The scanner
scans through all non-locked channels (see "Locking Out Channels" in
Faxback Doc. # 46982). Set SQUELCH so you do not hear the hissing sound
between transmissions.
