FEATURES

Your new PSR-255 50-Channel Portable Scanner gives you

direct access to over 26,000 exciting frequencies, including

police and fire departments, ambulance services, and ama-

teur radio services. You can select up to 50 channels to scan,

and you can change your selection at any time.
The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequen-

cies is its custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in

computer.
Your scanner has these special features:

Ten Preprogrammed Search Bands

 - let you search for

transmissions within preset frequency ranges, so you can

find interesting frequencies more quickly.

Fifty Channels

 - let you store up to 50 of your favorite fre-

quencies for easy recall and scanning.

Duplicate Frequency Check

 - automatically warns you if

you try to store a frequency you've already stored, to help

you use the scanner's memory more efficiently.

Monitor Memory

 - lets you temporarily save a frequency

located during a direct search, so you can move it to chan-

nel storage later.

Channel Lockout

 - keeps channels you select from being

scanned.

Memory Backup

 - keeps the channel frequencies stored in

memory for about 1 hour during a power loss.

Two-Second Scan Delay

 - delays scanning for 2 seconds

before moving to another channel, so you can hear more

replies.

Key Lock

 - lets you lock the keys to help prevent acciden-

tally changing the scanner's programming.

Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector

 - provides excellent

reception. The BNC connector makes it easy to attach and

remove the antenna or a variety of optional antennas.

Liquid Crystal Display

 - clearly displays how the scanner is

set and makes it easy to change those settings.

Three Power Options

 - you can power the scanner from

internal batteries (not supplied - including non-rechargeable

batteries, rechargeable batteries, or a rechargeable scanner

battery pack) or external AC or DC power (using optional

adapters).
