Features
The Radio Shack PRO-60 Programmable Scanner lets you in on all the action!
This scanner gives you direct access to more than 68,000 frequencies
including police, ambulance, ham radio, and transportation services. You
can select up to 200 channels to scan, and change your selection at any
time. The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is
its custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in computer.
Your scanner includes these special features:
Triple Conversion Superheterodyne - Virtually eliminates any interference
Receiver from IF (Intermediate Frequency)
images, so you hear only the selected
frequency.
Hyperscan - Searches through frequencies at 50
steps per second or scans stored
channels at 25 channels per second.
Monitor Memory - Lets you temporarily save up to 10
frequencies you find during a frequency
search so you can decide later if you
want to store any of them into
permanent channels.
Direct Frequency Search - Gives you direct access to every
available frequency so you can find
interesting broadcasts.
Two-Second Scan Delay - Delays scanning for about 2 seconds
before moving to another channel, so
you can hear more replies.
Ten Channel Storage Banks - Lets you store 20 channels in each of
10 storage banks to group frequencies
so you can easily identify calls.
Liquid-Crystal Display - Shows the selected channel and
frequency and the selected functions.
Memory Backup - Keeps the frequencies stored in memory
even when you remove the batteries.
Lockout Function - Lets you set your scanner to skip over
specified channels.
Keylock - Prevents you from accidentally changing
the scanner's programming.
Priority Channel - Lets you designate a channel to be
scanned every 2 seconds, so you do
not miss important calls.
AM/FM/WFM Mode - Automatically selects the most common
reception type for the band you are
scanning, and lets you override that
selection.
Battery-Saving Circuit - Draws only 40 percent of the normal
operating power.
Optional Power Sources - Lets you power the scanner from
