Easier to Read Pro 94 Scanner Manual

http://marksscanners.com/94/94.shtml

2/21

duck/whip handy for areas with a lot of 800MHz overload, especially with digital. You may be able to find others on the web but RS
is convenient so you can buy it and take it back in the same day if you don't like it. Read the reviews for each at the site.

 

I will assume you know how to obtain the basic information from the original manual such as following safety procedures, putting the
batteries in, connecting the antenna, finding specs, etc. and concentrate on the main functions of the scanner.

 

I hereby absolve myself from anything that happens to anyone or the scanner as a result of the information you will be reading. You
are welcome to copy and/or print these pages and use them in the scanning hobby as long as you don't change, redistribute, or
charge/accept money for them.

 

Check back often as this document will be updated and revised from time to time. I have tried the best I can to make sure everything
is accurate here but if I missed a step or you see something that's obviously wrong, please 

email

 me.

Main Features

Contents

The Pro­94 will scan conventional or trunked transmissions but not trunked and conventional transmissions at the same.

 

Duel­System Trunking ­ you can track Motorola and EDACS (GE/Ericsson) trunking systems.
Triple­Conversion Circuitry ­ virtually eliminates (depending on your location and antenna) any interference from IF (intermediate
frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency.

(20) 50­Channel Storage Banks ­ you can store up to 50 channels in each of 20 different banks, in two separate groups, A or B
(500 per group), for a total of 1000 channels.

5 Talk Group ID Lists per Bank ­ you can store up to 50 trunking talk group IDs (10 in each list) for each trunking bank for a total
of 1000 IDs).

EDACS Partial Talk Groups ­ If you are viewing IDs in AFS mode, you can trunk the talk groups for an entire agency or fleet as 1
ID.

Priority Talk Group ID Scanning ­ lets you program 1 talk group ID in each scan list (5 per bank) and have the scanner check
those IDs more frequently. Also lets you scan just the priority IDs in a bank.

20 Priority Channels ­ lets you program one channel in each bank and then have the scanner check that channel every 2
seconds while it scans the bank, so you don't miss transmissions on those channels.

Trunking Scan Delay ­ delays trunking for about 5 seconds before searching for another talk group ID, so you can hear more
replies that are made on the same talk group ID.

Status Bit Ignore ­ you can set how your scanner works with status bits (also called S­bits), letting you control how the scanner
interprets and displays talkgroup IDs.

Motorola Disconnect Tone Detect ­ the scanner automatically tunes to the trunking data channel when it receives a
disconnected transmission. You can turn this off, so you can continuously monitor a channel with a weak transmission where
conversations are often disconnected.

5 Service Banks and 1 Limit Search ­ frequencies that are pre­programmed in separate public safety, aircraft, ham, marine, and
weather banks, to make it easy to locate frequencies in these bands and 1 programmable limit search.

Three Power Options ­ lets you power the scanner using internal batteries; alkaline, (switch to ‘ALKALINE’ in battery
compartment), Ni­Cad, or Ni­MH (switch to ‘NI­CD’ in battery compartment); external AC power using an optional 9 volt 300­mA
AC adapter/charger (and RS ‘type H’ adaptaplug); or DC power using an optional 9 volt DC cigarette­lighter power cable.

Data Signal Skip ­ lets you set the scanner to skip non modulated or data signals (such as fax or modem transmissions) during
searches. This lets the scanner avoid non­voice signals, making searching or scanning faster.

Monitor Memories ­ lets you temporarily store up to 10 frequencies and 1 talk group ID.

Lock­Out Function ­ lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching, and
skip over talk group IDs when trunking.

Weather Alert Indicator ­ lets you listen to coded weather emergency information using Specific Area Message Encoding (NWR­
SAME Circuitry).

Scan/Search Delay ­ delays scanning or searching for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel or frequency, so you
can hear more replies that are made on the same channel or frequency.

Manual Access ­ lets you directly access any channel.
