6 Features ˆ Features Your RadioShack Base Scanner is on e of a new generation of scan ners designed to track Motorola Type I and II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus ) and hybrid analog trunking systems, and GE/Ericsson (EDACS ) type systems, used extensively in many communication systems.
7 Features Preprogrammed Fr equency Ranges — let you search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges or within rang es you set, to reduce search time and select interesting fre- quencies more quickly.
8 Preparation ing the contents of su ch a transmission un- less you have the consent o f a party to the communication (unless such activity is other- wise illegal). These la ws change from time to time and there might be state or local laws that also affect legal scanner usage.
9 Preparation CONNECTING THE ANTENNA You must install an antenna before you can operate the scanner. To attach the supplied a ntenna to the ante n- na jack on the top of your scanner, thread the antenna clockwise into the h ole on the top of the scanner.
10 About Your Scanner • Set the volume to the lowest se tting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. • Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
11 About Your Scanner FUNC (function) — lets you use various func- tions by pressing this key in combina tion with other keys. MAN — stops scanning and lets you directly enter a channel number. WX — scans through the seve n prepro- grammed weather channels.
12 About Your Scanner Manual Tunin g — allows you to manual ly scan through the entire range of availabl e frequencies without p rogramming. (See “Specifications” on Page 52 for a list of the available frequency ranges. ) Weather Radio — allows you to listen to NOAA weather broadcasts without program- ming.
13 About Your Scanner Motorola systems are trunking systems used primarily by business and public safety groups to efficiently allocate a small nu mber of frequencies (as few as fi ve) to many groups of users (as many as several thou- sand). To do this, e ach group of users in the system is assigned to a specific talk group.
14 Operation scanner then goes to the transmis sion and displays the talk group ID on th e bottom line of the display. In the closed mode, the scan- ner only goes to transmissions with IDs that match talk group IDs you stored in the bank's talk group ID list which are not locked out.
15 Operation scanner's sensitivity to these signa ls. If you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclock- wise. •I f SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner wil l not scan properly .
16 Operation Function” on Page 26 . The scanner stores this setting in the channel. 5. If necessary , press MODE to change the receiving mode. 6. If desired, program a text tag for the channel (see “Assigning a T ext T ag to a Channel”"). 7.

The chart below shows the frequen cies the scanner receives that ham radio operators normally use: Birdie Frequencies Every scanner has birdie frequencie s.
40 A General Guide to Frequencies To find the birdies in you r scanner, begin by disconnecting the antenna a nd moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are turn ed on near the scanner. Use the search function and scan every frequency range from its low- est frequency to the highest.
41 A General Guide to Frequencies UHF Band Primary Usage As a general rule, most of the radio activity is concentrated on the following fre que ncies: VHF Band UHF Band High Range 148.000–174.000 MHz New Mobile Narrow Band 220.000–222.000 MHz 1 1 / 4 -Meter Amateur 222.
