Your new RadioShack PRO-2040 VHF/UHF Air/800 MHz 100-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
Trunking communications systems lets a large group of 2-way users (or even
frequencies. Instead of selecting a specific frequency for a transmission,
the 2-way radio user simply selects a talk group. The trunking system
automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and also
sends a code that uniquely identifies that 2-way radio user's transmission
on a different frequency called a data channel.
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
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
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.
Your 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
Five Scan Lists - lets you store up to 50 IDs in each tracking
Triple-Conversion Circuitry - virtually eliminates any interference from IF
(intermediate frequency) images, so you hear
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
Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over
specified channels or frequencies when
scanning or searching, and skip over IDs when
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
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.
HyperSearch and HyperScan - lets you set the scanner to search at up to
&n8;nbsp; reception of distant/weaker signals.
Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory
Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you perform an
operation correctly, and an error tone if you
Duplicate Channel Alert - warns you when the frequency you are storing
Your PRO-2050 scanner can receive all of these bands:
29-29.7 MHz 10-Meter Amateur Radio
137-144 MHz Military Land Mobile
406-420 MHz Federal Government
851-869 MHz - > Public Service "800" except Cellular Band
