FEATURES
Your new RadioShack PRO-90 300-Channel Trunk- Tracker Scanner is the first of a new generation of scan- ners designed to track Motorola™ Type I and Type II (such as Smartnet™, and Privacy Plus™) and hybrid an- alog trunking systems, which are extensively used in many 800 MHz communication systems.
Trunking communications systems let a large group of 2- way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a large range of frequencies. Instead of selecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the 2- way radio user simply selects a talk group. The trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first avail- able frequency, and also sends a code that uniquely iden- tifies that 2-way radio user’s transmission on a different frequency called a data channel.
Since the trunking system might send individual 2-way ra- dio user’s calls and response transmissions on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communica- tions using a regular scanner. The PRO-90 lets you select and monitor the data channel frequency sent with a 2-way radio user’s transmission, so you can hear the call and re- sponse for that 2-way radio user and easily “follow” the conversation.
The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmis- sions, and is preprogrammed with service-search banks for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies most commonly used by public service and other agencies without tedious and complicated programming.
This scanner gives you direct access to over 31,000 excit- ing frequencies, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services, and you can change your selection at any time.
Your scanner also has these special features:
Triple-Conversion Circuitry — virtually eliminates any interference from IF (intermediate frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency.
