most commonly used by public service and other agencies.

This scanner gives you direct access to over 59,000 frequencies including those used by police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, air, and amateur radio services.

Your scanner includes these features:

Simultaneous Trunking

Operation — tracks two trunking systems (Motorola and EDACS) and conventional systems at the same time.

Automatic Channel

Programming — automatically determines the group trunking frequencies, for Motorola trunking systems only, once the control channels are programmed.

10Channel-Storage Banks — let you store 100 channels in each bank (1,000 channels) to group channels so calls are easier to identify.

10ID-Storage Banks — let you store 1,000 IDs in 10 ID banks that have 5 sub-ID banks. 20 IDs are programmed in each sub-ID bank and let you easily identify the ID code.

Weather Alert — automatically sounds the alarm tone to advise of hazardous weather conditions when it detects the alert signal on the local National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather channel during priority operation.
