FEATURES
Your new RadioShack PRO-71 VHF/UHF/Air Handheld Scanner lets
you in on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to 23,000
exciting frequencies that include police department, fire department,
ambulance, aircraft, amateur radio, and transportation services. You
can select up to 100 channels for your scanner to scan and you can
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 also has these special features:
Large Liquid-Crystal Display
— lets you easily see displayed infor-
mation.
Search Skip
— lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the scanner to
skip during a limit or direct search to avoid unwanted frequencies.
Frequency Search
— scans through every available frequency.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks
— let you store 10 channels in each of
ten banks to group frequencies and help you identify calls.
Monitor Memories
— let you temporarily save up to ten channels you
locate during a frequency search.
Two-Second Automatic Scan Delay
— delays scanning for 2 sec-
onds before moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies.
Memory Backup
— keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory
for up to 1 hour during a power loss.
Lock-Out Function
— keeps channels you select from being scanned.
Priority Channel
— lets you specify your most important channel and
check it every 2 seconds so you don’t miss important calls.
Weather Band Key
— scans seven preprogrammed weather frequen-
cies so you can hear about current weather conditions.
Display Backlight
— makes the scanner easy to read in low light situ-
ations.
