Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack
200-Channel VHF/AIR/UHF Desktop
Scanner. This scanner gives you direct
access to over 25,000 frequencies, including
those used by police and fire departments,
ambulance services, government agencies,
air, and amateur radio services. You can
select up to 200 channels 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 built-in
microprocessor. Your scanner also has
these special features:
Four Service Banks — let you search
preset frequencies in separate fire/police, air,
ham radio, and marine banks, to make it
easy to locate specific types of calls.
Two-Second Scan Delay — delays
scanning for 2 seconds before moving to
another channel, so you can hear more
replies.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks — let you
store up to 20 channels in each of 10
different banks, to group channels so you
can more easily identify calls.
20 Monitor Memories — let you temporarily
save up to 20 frequencies you locate during
a search, so you can move selected
frequencies to channel storage later.
Memory Backup — keeps the channel
frequencies stored in memory for about 1
hour during a power loss.

HyperSearch
and HyperScan
you set the scanner to search at up to 50
