(200-0149) Features Faxback Doc. # 46799
Introduction
Your new RadioShack PRO-2046 Programmable 100-Channel Mobile Scanner lets
you in on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to over
30,000 exciting frequencies, including those used by police and fire
departments, ambulance and transportation services, aircraft
communications, government agencies, and amateur radio services. You can
select up to 100 channels to scan and you can change your selections at
any time.
Your scanner is preprogrammed with service search banks for convenience.
By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies most
widely used by public service and other agencies without tedious and
complicated programming. The scanner also lets you group special or
interesting frequencies into their own set of channels.
Compact and versatile, the scanner mounts in your home or vehicle. You
can also connect an external speaker to your scanner, or an AC adapter and
base station antenna (not supplied) to set the scanner up as a base
station in your home.
Your scanner has these features:
HyperScan - lets you scan 50 channels or more per second.
Hypersearch - lets you set the scanner to search at up to
300 steps per second in frequency bands with
5 kHz steps, to help you quickly find
interesting broadcasts.
Four Service Search Banks - lets you Search preset frequencies in separate
police/fire/emergency, Department of
Transportation, highway services, and public
service banks, to make it easy to quickly
identify calls. You can select and search one
or more banks at a time.
Data Detection - while scanning channels or searching, you can
set the scanner to detect non modulated
carriers or data signals, such as preamble
signals for pagers, to keep the scanner from
stopping on these frequencies.
Weather Band Key - scans seven preprogrammed weather frequencies
to keep you informed about current weather
conditions.
Ten Channel Storage Banks - You can store 10 channels in each of 10 banks
to group channels so calls are easier to
identify.
Ten Monitor Memories - you can store 10 frequencies located during a
frequency search, so you can decide if you
want to move them to permanent channel storage
Ten Priority Channels - lets you set the scanner to check up to 10
channels every 2 seconds so you do not miss
important calls.
Nine Frequency Bands - lets you quickly and easily search preset
frequency ranges, so you can find new and
unlisted broadcasts.
Two Frequency Band Search - you can search upward or downward through the
Options preset frequency bands (band Search) or Search
by starting from a specified frequency (direct
search).
Frequency Skip - lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the
scanner to skip during a search, so you can
search more efficiently.
Two-Second Channel - lets you set the scanner so it delays scanning
Scan/Search Delay or searching for 2 seconds before moving to
another channel, so you can hear more replies.
Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you perform an
operation correctly, and sounds an error tone
if you make an error.
Memory Backup - keeps channel frequencies stored in memory
for 14 days or more during a power loss.
Lock Out Function - keeps channels you select from being scanned,
so you can skip over busy channels such as
those with a continuous transmission.
Squelch Control - lets you adjust the scanner's sensitivity to
either help the scanner receive weak signals
or help eliminate receiver noise when the
scanner is not receiving a signal, so you can
hear calls instead of static.
Backlit Display - makes it easy to view and change programming
information at any time.

Scanning Legally
It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can
receive. However, there are some electronic and wire communications that
are illegal to intentionally intercept. These include:
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of
telephone signal transmission).
Pager transmissions.
Scrambled or encrypted transmissions.
According to the Federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), as
amended, you could be fined and possibly imprisoned for intentionally
intercepting, using, or disclosing the contents of such a transmission
unless you have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such
activity is otherwise illegal). These laws change from time to time and
there might be state or local laws that also affect legal scanner usage.
