The Basics

transferring data to or from another scanner or pc

You can transfer the programmed data to and from another PRO-528 scanner using a connecting cable which has 1/8-inch phone plugs on both ends (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanner’s PC/IF jacks. See “cloning your scanner”. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional

PC interface cable and software available through your local RadioShack store. See “wired programming.”

about your scanner

We use a few simple terms in this manual to explain the features of the scanner. Familiarize yourself with these terms and the scanner’s features, and you can put the scanner to work for you right away. Simply determine the type of communications you want to receive, then set the scanner to scan those communications.

The scanner scans conventional frequencies and trunked systems. For more information about trunked transmissions (see “trunking operation”).

A frequency, expressed in kHz or MHz, is the tuning location of a station. To find active frequencies, you use the search function.
