FEATURES
Your new RadioShack PRO-2056 50-
Channel Home/Mobile Scanner lets
you in on all the action. You can quick-
ly tune to over 2,000 preprogrammed
frequencies and search over 20,000
frequencies that include those used by
police and fire departments, ambu-
lance services, aircraft communica-
tions, amateur radio services, and
transportation services. The se-
cret to your scanner’s ability to
scan so many frequencies is its
custom-designed microprocessor —
a tiny, built-in computer.
Your scanner is preprogrammed for
convenience. By pressing a single but-
ton, you can quickly scan those fre-
quencies most widely used by public
service and other agencies. The scan-
ner even lets you group special or inter-
esting frequencies into their own bank.
The scanner is compact and versatile.
You can use it in your home or mount
it in your vehicle.
Your scanner has these special fea-
tures:
HyperScan
™
and HyperSearch
™
—
so you can scan up to 100 channels
per second and search up to 100 steps
(frequency intervals) per second, pro-
viding faster scan and search speed
than many other scanners.
Service Search — at the press of a
button, lets you scan preset frequen-
cies in separate police, fire/emergen-
cy, marine, and air service search
banks, to make it easy to quickly iden-
tify calls. You can also add frequen-
cies to channels in the police and fire/
emergency service search banks.
Band Search — lets you search for
transmissions within 11 preset fre-
quency ranges, so you can quickly
find interesting frequencies.
PRIVATE Bank — lets you store up to
20 frequencies that you find while
scanning or searching, so you can
group unusual or special frequencies
together for fast access.
One-Touch Weather Scanning —
quickly tunes to National Weather Ser-
vice broadcasts, so you can keep cur-
rent on important weather information.
Lock-Out Function — lets you lock
out specified channels, so you can skip
over those channels while scanning.
Memory Backup — keeps the fre-
quencies stored in memory for up to 5
days during a power loss.
Backlit Display — makes the display
easy to read in low light conditions.
