Radio Shack PRO-2052 Special Features, Delay, Turning CHANNEL- Storage Banks on and OFF

SPECIAL FEATURES

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a period of 2 or more seconds between a transmis- sion and a reply. To keep from miss- ing a reply, you can program a 2- second delay into any channel or fre- quency. The scanner continues to monitor the frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before re- suming scanning or searching.

To program a 2-second delay:

•If the scanner is scanning chan- nel-storage banks and stops on an active channel where you want to store a delay, quickly press DELAY before scanning resumes. DELAY appears.

•If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then press DELAY. DELAY appears.

•If the scanner is searching, press DELAY. DELAY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2- second delay to every transmis- sion it stops on in that band or limit range.

To turn off the 2-second delay, press DELAY while the scanner is monitoring the channel or searching service banks or limit ranges. DELAY disap- pears.

TURNING CHANNEL- STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 50 channels in that bank.

For banks 1–10, while scanning press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. For banks 11–20, press SHIFT, then press the number key that corre- sponds to the bank you want to turn on or off.

Notes:

•You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that bank is turned off.

•You cannot turn off all banks. One bank is always active.

LOCKING OUT

CHANNELS AND

FREQUENCIES

You can scan existing channels or search frequencies faster by locking out channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.

Note: If you just want to skip over a lengthy transmission (such as a mo- dem signal), see “Skipping Data Sig- nals” on Page 25.
