Radio Shack 20-501 manual Setting the signal stalker options

Page 32

Signal Stalker might not find the transmission you are searching for, or it might find a transmis- sion other than the one you are searching for.

•Signal Stalker cannot detect satellite dishes or any transmitter with a frequency above or below the frequency ranges listed under “setting the signal stalker options” on Page 32.

•Signal Stalker works better with some types of transmissions than others. It might not correctly display frequency information for transmitters using a highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio beam antenna), if there are many transmitters operating at the same time in the same area, or if the transmitter is a broadcast television station.
