INTRODUCTION
Your new Realistic by RadioShack
PRO-2042 1000-Channel Program¬
mable Home Scanner lets you in on all
the action! With its convenient rotary
tuner and keypad, you can quickly tune
to over 196,000 frequencies (within
the ranges of 25-1300 MHz).
The secret to your scanner's ability to
scan so many frequencies is its custom-
designed microprocessor — a tiny,
built-in computer.
Your scanner has all these special fea¬
tures.
Hyperscan — lets you scan up to 50
channels per second and search up to
50 steps per second.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks — you
can store 100 channels in each bank to
group channels so calls are easier to
identify. The scanner automatically
warns you if you try to store duplicate
frequencies (except when storing fre¬
quencies into channels from monitor
memories).
100 Monitor Memories — temporarily
save up to 100 frequencies located
during a frequency search, letting you
move selected frequencies to perma¬
nent channel storage later.
Priority Channel — you can set the
scanner to check one channel every 2
seconds so you do not miss important
calls.
Auto Store — quickly finds and auto¬
matically stores active frequencies in
each channel, then searches for addi¬
tional active frequencies while skip¬
ping previously stored channels.
TAPE OUT Jack — lets you connect
an optional tape recorder to the scan¬
ner to record transmissions.
Rotary Tuner — lets you manually
tune and select desired frequencies or
channels. The scanner's tune speed
automatically changes depending on
how fast you turn the rotary tuner.
Two-Second Channel Scan Delay —
delays scanning for 2 seconds before
moving to another channel, so you can
hear more replies.
