RadioShack PRO-2050 VHF/UHF Air/800 MHz 300-Channel Trunk Tracker Home Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola Type I, Type II, (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus), and hybrid analog trunking systems, which are extensively used in many 800 MHz communication systems. Since the trunking system might send individual 2-way radio user's calls and response transmissions on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a regular scanner. The PRO-2050 monitors the data channel frequency sent with a 2-way radio user's transmission and instantly switches to an active frequency, so you can hear the call and response for that 2-way radio user and easily "follow" the conversation. The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmissions, and is pre-programmed with service-search banks for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies most commonly used by public service and other agencies without tedious and complicated programming. This scanner gives you direct access to over 30,000 exciting frequencies, including those used by police and fire departments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services, and you can change your selection at any time. The scanner also has these special features: Ten Channel-Storage Banks - lets you store 30 channels in each bank to group channels so you can more easily identify calls. Five Scan Lists - lets you store up to 50 IDs in each tracking bank (up to a total of 500). Triple-Conversion Circuitry - virtually eliminates any interference from IF (intermediate frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency. Scan Delay - delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel in conventional mode, so you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel. In trunk tracking mode, it delays for about 5 seconds before moving to another ID. Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching, and skip over IDs when tracking trunked systems. Priority Channels - lets you program one channel in each bank (10 in all). As the scanner scans a bank, it checks the bank's priority channel every 2 seconds so you don't miss transmissions on that channel. Five Service-Search Banks - lets you search preset frequencies in separate public service, police, fire/emergency, aircraft and weather banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of calls. Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for an extended time. Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you perform an operation correctly, and an error tone if you make an error. Duplicate Channel Alert - warns you when the frequency you are storing already exists in memory. The PRO-2050 scanner can receive all of these bands: Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
