Pro-89 200-Channel VHF/Air/UHF 800 MHz Handheld Race Scanner
(200-0514) Scanning Races Faxback Doc. # 60477
Your scanner is specially designed to help you listen to communications at
auto races. Drivers and their pit crews and corner watchers, place car
drivers, security officers, emergency personnel, track officials, and
representatives of governing organizations such as NASCAR, SCCA, and NHRA
all use radios to communicate with each other during a race. You might
also hear transmissions from the news media and reporters, local police
departments, and paramedics and doctors at the local hospital. You can
even listen to transmissions by parking lot employees at the track, so you
can find the best possible parking place when you arrive.
You can store a car number and frequency in each of the scanner's
channels, associate one or more frequencies stored in channels with a car
number, and recall any frequencies associated with that car number by
simply entering the number. You can store one car number and frequency,
or one frequency by itself, in each channel (for up to 200 car numbers and
frequencies).
For example, if you want to listen to communications between the driver of
number 24 and that driver's pit crew, you find all the frequencies used by
the driver's team by using any of the following options:
The steps in "Searching the Service Banks" in Faxback Doc. # 60476.
The supplied frequency guide.
"Using Direct Search" in Faxback Doc. # 60476.
Frequencies you already know.
Then, you store a car number and the frequencies associated with that car
number in the scanner's channels and display the car number as you scan
those frequencies by using the information in "Scanning by Car Number"
below.
Storing A Car Number And Frequency
You can store a car number and frequency in each of the scanner's
channels, and you can recall any frequencies associated with the car
number by entering the number. You can store one car number in each
channel (for up to 200 car numbers).
Note: After you store a car number and a frequency, you can store
additional frequencies then associate those frequencies with the
same car number. See "Adding Frequencies to a Car Number," below.
Follow these steps to store a car number and frequency.
1. Press CAR. CAR# and CAr No. appear and _ _ _ flashes.
2. Enter the car number. If the number is one or two digits, enter the
number then press CAR. If the number is three digits, enter the number
only. The car number and _ _ _ (.) _ _ _ appear.
Notes: If you add one or more leading zeros to a single-digit car
number, your scanner recognizes them as different car numbers.
For example, you can enter 5 for one car number, 05 for another
car number, and 005 for another car number.
To clear the display (if you make a mistake), press CL/MON
before you press CAR.
3. Enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to
associate with the car number by using the number keys and DELAY/(.).
4. Press ENT to store the frequency. The car number and frequency are
stored in the first available channel.
Adding Frequencies To A Car Number
Follow these steps to select a car number then associate additional
frequencies with that car number.
1. Press CAR. CAR# and CAr No. appear and _ _ _ flashes.
2. Use the number keys to enter the car number if the number is three
digits. If the car number is less than three digits, enter the car
number then press CAR. The car number and the first frequency
associated with that number appear.
3. Repeatedly press /\ or \/ until _ _ _ (.) _ _ _ appears.
4. Enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to
associate with the displayed car number by using the number keys and
DELAY/(.).
5. Press ENT to store the frequency. The frequency is associated with the
car number you entered.
Adding A Car Number To The Channel
You can assign the car number after you program the frequency into the
channel.
1. If a car number appears on the display, press CAR twice. A channel
number appears.
2. Select the channel you want to use to store the car number by using
the number keys and MAN.
3. Press CAR twice. CAR# appears.
4. While holding down PGM, press CAR. _ _ _ flashes.
5. Enter the car number by using the number keys.
6. Press ENT to store the new car number.
Changing The Stored Car Number
1. Press CAR then use the number keys to enter the car number. If
necessary, repeatedly press /\ or \/ to select the frequency.
2. Hold down PGM then hold down CAR. The car number flashes.
3. Enter the car number by using the number keys, then press ENT to store
the car number.
Viewing Frequencies Associated With A Car Number
1. Press MAN then CAR. CAR# and CAr No. appear and _ _ _ flashes.
2. Enter the car number. If the number is one or two digits, enter the
number then press CAR. If the number is three digits, enter the number
only. One of the car number's frequencies appears.
3. Repeatedly press /\ or \/ to view each of the car numbers you entered.
As you press /\ or \/, you see all associated frequencies and
_ _ _ (.)_ _ _.
Deleting A Frequency From A Car Number
1. Recall the car number.
2. Repeatedly press /\ or \/ until the frequency you want to delete
appears.
3. Press PGM.
4. Press 0 then ENT.
Scanning By Car Number
Once you store car numbers into channels, you can set the scanner so it
displays the car numbers you assigned to the channels as it scans them.
To scan by car number, repeatedly press CAR until BANK and CAR # appear,
then press SCAN. As the scanner scans channels, the car numbers you stored
appear in channel order, from the lowest to the highest channel.
Notes: If no car number is assigned to a channel, _ _ _ appears instead
of the car number.
If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the
scanner does not scan properly.
When you finish scanning by car number, repeatedly press CAR until CAR #
disappears.
Finding Car Numbers Associated With Channels
If you are listening to a channel and want to know what car number you are
hearing, simply press CAR twice. If a car number has been associated with
this frequency, the car number and frequency appear. Press CAR twice again
to return to normal channel listening.
To see what car numbers are stored, press CAR twice, then repeatedly press
ENT. The car numbers (from lowest channel number to highest) appear.
