Pressing PROGRAM key puts Receiver in the programming mode; the
LED indicator on the keyboard stays lit while in this mode. Program-

frequency (if any) is stored on the channel the scanner is on.
You can ignore these numbers, because they'll disappear as
soon as you start entering the desired frequency.
Valid Frequency
You can enter any frequency into the memory of your PRO-2001
within the six bands specified under Frequency Coverage (Page 3).
However, you should realize that the programmable frequencies are
in 5 kHz steps in the 30-501144-174 MHz range, and in 12.5 k1z
steps in the 430-512 MHz range. lf you try to enter an"in-between"
frequency, the next valid and lower frequency will be entered or

lf you try to enter a frequency which is outside the six-band tuning
range, " Error " will be displayed. To clear an Error display, press
CLear key.
Frequency Display
The seven digit display lets you know what's going on at all times.
It's especially important when you're entering a frequency, as it lets
you check to see that you entered the correct key sequence. Press
CLear to clear display in case you do key in the wrong frequency,
Entenng a l-requency
To enter a known frequency, follow Steps 1-6 on page 7. you may
skip Step 4 if you do not need to check tlre channel for activity.
Note that the frequency you enter will be stored on whichever

The six-band tuning range of your PR0-2001 is permanently stored
in the Receiver's integrated-circuit microprocessor. As such, it cannot
be extended or altered in any way, even by a skilled electronics
technician. So if you try to monitor or enter an out-of-band frequency
-you'll get the Error message every time! To listen in on CB, SW,
lower Ham bands, etc., you'll just have to get another receiver
