choice when saving or loading V-Scanner data. During this
period the scanner is transferring V-Scanner data to or from
working memory.
using digital AGC
You may fi nd that the audio level varies greatly among
different users on digital systems that you monitor. Many
analog conventional and trunked radio systems include
components with automatic gain control to help normalize
the audio levels of analog transmissions in the system. Digital
radio systems typically do not include any automatic gain
control functionality and tend to reproduce a user’s voice
audio signal more faithfully with regard to audio levels. This
can result in a low level audio signal if a user on the system
is not speaking close enough to their radio microphone. Your
PRO-2096 features Digital AGC, which can compensate for
these low audio levels when they occur. By default, Digital
AGC is turned on. If desired, you can toggle the Digital
AGC function on or off by pressing FUNC, and then MAN
at any time. The display will briefl y show DSP AGC Off or DSP
AGC On accordingly. Digital AGC has no effect on analog
transmissions. You may notice more background noise with
Digital AGC on.
cloning programmed data
You can transfer the contents of the current scanner working
memory to and from another PRO-2096 or PRO-96 scanner
using an optional connecting cable with 1/8-inch (3.5 mm)
phone plugs on both ends (use RadioShack part number
42-2420 available at your local RadioShack store), or to a
computer application designed to work with this scanner
using a PC interface cable (use RadioShack part number 20-
289, available at your local RadioShack store).
