12-Character, 4-Line, Dot-Matrix Display — shows you detailed operating information and lets you easily program the scanner.

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 Atmo- spheric Administration (NOAA) weather channel during priority operation.

Digital Weather Alert — displays the weather event text so you can see the reason for the alert.

Preprogrammed Frequency Ranges — let you search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges or with- in ranges you set, to reduce search time and select inter- esting frequencies more quickly.

Subaudible Tone Decode — decodes and displays the Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) tone signal being transmitted.

Digital Subaudible Tone Decode — decodes and dis- plays the Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) being received.

Data Cloning — lets you transfer the programmed data to another PRO-92 scanner. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional interface kit.

Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver — vir- tually eliminates any interference from intermediate fre- quency (IF) images, so you hear only the frequency you select.

Hyperscan and Hypersearch	— the scanner scans

at up to 25 channels per second and searches at up to 50 steps per second, to help you quickly find interesting transmissions.

Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds be- fore moving to another channel in conventional mode, so you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel.
