INTRODUCTION
Your new Realistic® PRO-2024 Desk¬
Top Programmable Scanner lets you
in on all the action! This scanner gives
you direct access to over 23,000 fre¬
quencies in exciting radio bands that
include the police department, fire de¬
partment, ambulance, aircraft, ham
radio, and transportation services.
You can select up to 60 channels for
your scanner to scan and change
your channel selection at any time.
The secret to your scanner's ability to
scan so many channels so easily is its
custom-designed microprocessor —
a tiny, built-in computer. The micro¬
processor also gives you these spe¬
cial features:
Liquid Crystal Display-shows the
channel and frequency you have se¬
lected plus several other indicators.
Two-Second Scan Delay—helps to
prevent the loss of replies on a chan¬
nel while you are scanning.
Memory Backup-keeps the channel
frequencies stored in your scanner's
memory for up to one hour if your
scanner loses power.
Lock-Out Function-lets the scanner
skip over a specified channel or group
of channels.
Six Channel-Storage Banks-allow
you to group your stored frequencies
so that calls are easier to identify.
Priority Channel-helps keep you
from missing important calls on a pri¬
ority channel.
Direct Frequency Search-gives you
direct access to every available fre¬
quency so that you can find interest¬
ing broadcasts.
Monitor Memories-allow you to
store up to six additional channels
your scanner locates during a fre¬
quency search.
