FEATURES

Your Realistic PRO-2030 80-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner lets you in on all the
action! This scanner gives you direct access to over 32,000 frequencies, including those used by the
police department, fire department, ambulance services, amateur radio operators and transportation
services. You can select up to 80 channels for your scanner to scan and you can change your selection
at any time.
The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is its custom-designed microprocessor
- a tiny, built- in computer. Your scanner also has these special features:
• Two-Second Scan Delay - delays the scanning mode for 2 seconds before moving to another
channel, so yo u can hear more replies.
• Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies stored in your scanner's memory for up to
three days without power.
• Lock-Out Function - keeps channels you select from being scanned.
• Eight Channel Storage Banks - lets you store 10 channels in each of 8 banks to group
frequencies so you can easily identify calls
• Priority Channel - helps keep you from missing important calls on a channel you specify.
• Direct Search - scans for new and unlisted frequencies to find interesting broadcasts.
• Hyperscan - scans and searches channels at 50 channels per second.
• Monitor Memories - temporarily save up to ten frequencies you locate during a frequency
search.
• Weather Band Key - scans the preprogrammed weather frequencies to keep you informed of
the most current weather conditions.
