DELAY

Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific channel, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. The scanner continues to monitor the channel frequency for an additional 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching.

Depending on how the scanner is operating, follow one of these steps to program a delay.

•If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel where you want to store a delay, quickly press DELAY before it continues scanning again. DLY appears.

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

•If the scanner is searching, press DELAY while the scanner is searching. DLY appears and the scan- ner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every frequency it stops on in that band.

To turn off the 2-second delay, press DELAY while the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning, or searching. DLY disappears.

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.

While scanning, press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. Numbers appear at the top of the display, showing the currently selected banks.

With its user-friendly interface, the PRO-94 includes an LCD display that shows relevant information, such as the frequency being received or the bank and channel currently in use. The keypad is designed for efficient navigation, making it straightforward to enter frequency modes and access programmed channels easily. Additionally, the scanner features priority channels, which allow users to monitor certain frequencies continuously, ensuring they do not miss critical communications.

The PRO-94 runs on AA batteries, providing convenience in terms of power supply. Its compact size and lightweight design ensure portability, enabling users to take it on the go, whether on a hiking trip or during community events.

In summary, the Radio Shack PRO-94 stands out as a robust and user-friendly handheld scanner. Its diverse frequency reception, trunk-tracking technology, extensive memory capabilities, and portable design make it a compelling choice for anyone keen on monitoring radio communications.
