FEATURES

Your new PSR-100 200 Channel VHF/Air/UHF Handheld Scanner lets you scan

conventional transmissions, and is preprogrammed with search banks for con-

venience. By pressing a one touch search key, you can quickly search those

frequencies most commonly used by public service and other agencies with-

out tedious and complicated programming.
This scanner gives you direct access to over 25,000 exciting frequencies, in-

cluding those used by police and fire departments, ambulance services, air-

craft, and amateur radio services, and you can change your selection at any

time.
Your scanner also has these special features:

Spectrum Sweeper

 – a powerful new tool for you to rapidly detect, monitor

and store frequencies for nearby radio transmissions.

One-Touch Service Search Banks

 — let you search preset frequencies in

separate marine, fire/police, aircraft, ham, and weather bands, to make it easy

to locate specific types of calls.

Display Backlight

 — makes the scanner easy to read in low-light situations.

Lockout Function

 — lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels

or frequencies when scanning or searching.

Ten Channel-Storage Banks

 — you can store 20 channels in each bank (200

total channels), letting you group channels so you can more easily identify

calls.

Tune

 — lets you tune for new and unlisted frequencies starting from a speci-

fied frequency.
