FEATURES

Your RadioShack Handheld

Scanner is one of a new

generation of scanners 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, which

are extensively used in many

communication systems.

Trunking communications systems

let a large group of 2-way radio

users (or even different groups of

2-way radio users) efficiently use a

set of frequencies. Instead of

selecting a specific frequency for a

transmission, the user simply

selects a talk group. The trunking

system automatically transmits the

call on the first available

frequency, and also sends a code

that uniquely identifies that

transmission.

Since the trunking system might

send a call and its response on

different frequencies, it is difficult

to listen to trunked

communications using a regular

scanner. The trunking scanner

monitors the data sent with a 2-

way radio transmission, so you

can hear the call and response for

that user and more easily follow

the conversation.

The scanner also lets you scan

conventional transmissions, and is

preprogrammed with service

search banks for convenience. By

pressing a single button, you can

quickly search those frequencies

THE FCC WANTS

YOU TO KNOW

This equipment has been tested

and found to comply with the limits

for a scanning receiver, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and

can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the

The FCC Wants You to Know

instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio

communications.

However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television

reception, which can be

determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the

receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation

between the equipment and

receiver.

• Connect the equipment into

an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver

is connected.

This device complies with Part 15

of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two

conditions:

1. This device may not cause

harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any

interference received,

including interference that

may cause undesired

operation.

SCANNING LEGALLY

Your scanner covers frequencies

used by many different groups

including police and fire

departments, ambulance services,

government agencies, private

The FCC Wants You to Know

companies, amateur radio

services, military operations,

pager services, and wireline

(telephone and telegraph) service

providers. It is legal to listen to

almost every transmission your

scanner can receive. However,

there are some transmissions you

should never intentionally listen to.

These include:

• Telephone conversations

(cellular, cordless, or other

private means of telephone

signal transmission)

• Pager transmissions

• Any scrambled or encrypted

transmissions

According to the Electronic

Communications Privacy Act

(ECPA), you are subject to fines

and possible imprisonment for

intentionally listening to, using, or

divulging the contents of such a

transmission unless you have the

consent of a party to the

communication (unless such

activity is otherwise illegal).

This scanner has been designed

to prevent reception of illegal

transmissions. This is done to

comply with the legal requirement

that scanners be manufactured so

as to not be easily modifiable to

pick up those transmissions. Do

not open your scanner's case to

make any modifications that could

allow it to pick up transmissions

that are illegal to monitor. Doing so

could subject you to legal

penalties.

We encourage responsible, legal

scanner use.

Preparation

In some areas, mobile use of this

scanner is unlawful or requires a

permit. Check the laws in your

area.

Preparation

Charging Rechargeable

Batteries

Your scanner has a built-in

charging circuit that lets you

charge nickel-metal hydride (Ni-

MH) or nickel cadmium (Ni-CD)

rechargeable batteries (not

supplied) while they are in the

scanner. To charge rechargeable

batteries, connect an appropriate

AC or DC adapter to the PWR DC

9V jack. For best results we

recommend RadioShack

rechargeable nickel-metal hydride

(NiMH) 1600mAh batteries. !

To charge batteries with a DC

adapter from a DC power source,

youmustusea9V,300mADC

adapter such as RadioShack Cat.

No. 273-1810 or 273-1815 and a

size B Adaptaplug™ (neither

supplied). Both are available at

your local RadioShack store.

Make sure the adapter's voltage is

set to 9V. Ô

It takes about 16 hours to

recharge fully discharged

1600mAh NiMH rechargeable

batteries. You can operate the

scanner while recharging the

rechargeable batteries, but

charging takes longer.

USING AC POWER

You can power the scanner using

a 9V, 300 mA AC adapter and a

size B Adaptaplug (neither

supplied). Both are available at

your local RadioShack store.

 CAUTION 

If you do not plan to

use the scanner with

batteries for a month

or longer, remove the

batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals

that can destroy

electronic parts.

o WARNING o

Always dispose of

old batteries

promptly and

properly. Do not bury

or burn them.

Ô NOTE Ô

• The scanner can

also charge Ni-Cd

batteries. 600mAh

batteries require 6

hours and

850mAh batteries

require 8 hours to

charge.

• When you charge

Ni-Cd batteries,

do not overcharge

them. Overchar-

ging shortens

battery life.

• Rechargeable

batteries last

longer and deliver

more power if you

let them fully

discharge once a

month. To do this,

use the scanner

until Low Battery!

appears. Then

fully charge the

rechargeable

batteries.

Preparation

1. Connect the Adaptaplug to

the adapter's cord with the tip

least 300 mA. Its

center tip must be

set to positive and

its plug must fit

the scanner's

PWRDC9Vjack

Using an adapter

that does not

meet these

specifications

could damage the

scanner or the

adapter.

• Always connect

the AC or DC

adapter to the

scanner before

you connect it to

AC power or

power source.

When you finish,

disconnect the

adapter from AC

power or the

power source

before you

disconnect it from

the scanner.

Ô NOTE Ô

If the scanner does

not operate properly

when you connect a

DC adapter, unplug

the DC adapter from

the power source and

clean the socket, or

check the adapter’s

internal fuse.

Preparation

Connecting an Optional

Antenna

The antenna connector on your

scanner makes it easy to use the

scanner with a variety of

antennas, such as an external

mobile antenna or outdoor base

station antenna. Your local

RadioShackstoresellsavarietyof

antennas.

Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable,

such as RG-58 or RG-8, to

connect an outdoor antenna. For

lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8

low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If

your antenna's cable does not

have a BNC connector, you will

also need a BNC adapter (not

supplied, available at your local

RadioShack store).

Follow the installation instructions

supplied with the antenna, route

the antenna cable to the scanner,

then connect it to the antenna

jack. o

CONNECTING AN

EARPHONE/HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can plug

an 1/8-inch(3.5mm)mini-plug

earphone or headphones (not

supplied), available at your local

RadioShack store, into the jack

on top of your scanner. This

automatically disconnects the

internal speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow

these guidelines when you use

headphones.

o WARNING o

Use extreme caution

when installing or

removing an outdoor

antenna. If the

antenna starts to fall

letitgo!Itcould

contact overhead

power lines. If the

antenna touches a

power line, touching

the antenna, mast,

cable, or guy wires

can cause

electrocution and

death. Call the powe

company to remove

the antenna. DO

NOT attempt to do

so yourself.

Preparation

• Set the volume to zero before

putting on the headphones.

With the headphones on,

adjust the volume to a

comfortable level.

• Avoid increasing the volume

once you set it. Over time,

your sensitivity to a volume

level decreases, so volume

levels that do not cause

discomfort might damage

your hearing.

• Avoid or limit listening at high

volume levels. Prolonged

exposure to high volume

levels can cause permanent

hearing loss.

Traffic Safety

Wearing headphones while

operating a motor vehicle or riding

a bicycle can create a traffic

hazard and could be illegal in

some areas.

Even though some headphones

let you hear some outside sounds

when listening at normal volume

levels, they still can present a

traffic hazard. Exercise extreme

caution!

CONNECTING AN

EXTENSION SPEAKER

In a noisy area, an amplified

speaker (not supplied), available

at your local RadioShack store,

might provide more comfortable

listening. Plug the speaker cable's

ABOUT YOUR

SCANNER

Once you understand a few simple

terms used in this manual and

familiarize yourself with your

scanner's features, you can put

the scanner to work for you. You

simply determine the type of

communications you want to

receive, then set the scanner to

scan them.

Afrequency is the receiving signal

location (expressed in kHz or

MHz). To find active frequencies,

you can use the search function.

About the Keypad

You can also search the SEARCH

banks, which are preprogrammed

frequencies in the scanner's

memory (see “Searching a

Preprogrammed Frequency

Range” on Page 32 for the

frequency list). You can even

change the frequency range on

one of the SEARCH banks (SR5)

to limit the search.

When you find a frequency, you

can store it into a programmable

memory location called a channel,

which is grouped with other

channels in a channel-storage

bank. You can then scan the

channel-storage banks to see if

there is activity on the frequencies

stored there. Each time the

scanner finds an active frequency,

it stays on that channel until the

transmission ends.

UNDERSTANDING

BANKS

CHANNEL STORAGE

BANKS

A bank is a storage area for a

group of channels. Channels are

storage areas for frequencies.

Whereas a channel can only

contain one frequency, a bank can

hold numerous channels.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

To make it easier to identify and

select the channels you want to

listen to, your scanner divides the

channels into 10 banks (0to 9)of

100 (00 to 99) channels each, a

total of 1,000 channels. You can

use each channel-storage bank to

group frequencies, such as those

used by Motorola trunking,

EDACS trunking, Marine, CB,

Police, Fire, Aircraft and Ham (see

“Typical Band Usage (in MHz)” on

Page 71).

For example, a police department

might use four frequencies, one

foreachsideoftown.Youcould

program the police frequencies

starting with 000 (the first channel

in bank 0) and program the fire

department frequencies starting

with 100 (the first channel in bank

1). The first digit identifies the

bank (0to 9). The second and third

digits identify the channel within

the bank (00 to 99).

SEARCH BANKS

Your scanner has five

preprogrammed search banks and

one limit search bank. You can set

the lower and higher frequency

limit in the limit search bank.Ô

For the default setting, see

“Searching a Preprogrammed

Frequency Range” on Page 32).

UNDERSTANDING

YOUR SCANNER'S

MODES

You can program each channel

with any of four receive modes

(AM,FM,MOT,andED).

Ô NOTE Ô

Forexample,ifyou

wanted to find active

frequencies between

a range of 150.1000

and 150.5000, you

would put both of

those frequencies in

the limit search bank.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

However, you cannot program

MOT (Motorola), or ED (EDACS)

mode in VHF. Each receive mode

affects how your scanner operates

when scanning and receiving

transmissions, and also affects

what transmissions you receive

when you set the scanner to the

closed mode. See “Changing the

Receive Mode” on Page 49. Ô

AM MODE

The AM mode sets the scanner to

receive transmissions using

amplitude modulation (AM),

primarily used for aircraft, military,

some amateur radio, and some

government transmissions. (Refer

to “Specifications” on Page 84 for

a list of the frequencies covered.)

When the scanner receives a

transmission on a channel set to

the AM mode, it always stops on

the transmission.

FM MODE

The FM mode sets the scanner to

receive transmissions using

frequency modulation (FM), used

for most public safety

transmissions, as well as

broadcast, business, and amateur

radio transmissions. When the

scanner receives a transmission

on a channel set to the FM mode,

it always stops on the

transmission.

MOTOROLA MODE

You can set your scanner so it

decodes the talk group IDs used

with Motorola trunking systems.

This setting is called the Motorola

mode.

Ô NOTE Ô

Your scanner’s

closed mode lets you

hear only those talk

groups you specify.

For more information,

see “Open and

Closed Modes” on

Page 25.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

Motorola systems are trunking

systems used primarily by

business and public safety groups

to efficiently allocate a small

number of frequencies (as few as

five) to many groups of users (as

many as several thousand). To do

this, each group of users in the

system is assigned to a specific

talk group. For example, the east

side patrol officers might all be

assigned to talk group 2160. One

channel in the system is

continuously transmitting data that

identifies which talk groups are

active on which channel. In

addition, this talk group

information is also transmitted as

subaudible data on each active

channel.

When the scanner receives a

transmission on a channel set to

the Motorola mode, it first decodes

the talk group ID data included

with the transmission. In the open

mode, the scanner stops on the

transmission and displays the talk

group ID on the bottom line of the

display. In the closed mode, the

scanner only stops on the

transmission if the talk group ID

matches a talk group ID that you

have stored in the bank's talk

group ID list and have not locked

out.

Motorola trunking systems come

in three categories: Type I, Type II,

and Type I/II Hybrid. Each

category displays and uses talk

group IDs in slightly different

ways.

Motorola Type I IDs are in the form

FFF-SS,where:

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

FFF=Fleet ID

SS=Subfleet ID

Type I systems are usually

organized with different user

groups assigned to different fleets.

To properly map the raw Type I

data to the correct fleet-subfleet

format, you must program the

correct fleet map into the scanner.

Fleet map information is widely

available on the Internet for most

Type I systems in use.

Type II system talk groups are

identified by a 5-digit number.

Valid talk group IDs are divisible

by 16. If you try to enter an invalid

talk group ID, the scanner rounds

the ID down to the next valid ID.

Type I/II hybrid systems use both

fleet-subfleet and 5-digit formats

for talk group IDs. Ô

EDACS MODE

You can set your scanner so it

decodes the talk group IDs used

with EDACS (GE/Ericsson)

trunking systems. This setting is

called the EDACS mode.

EDACS systems are trunking

systems used primarily by

business or private

communications service providers,

as well as by some public safety

organizations. EDACS systems

transmit active talk group

information only on a dedicated

control channel.

EDACS frequencies are organized

in a specific order. Each frequency

Ô NOTE Ô

Motorola Mode

• For example, a

valid fleet-subfleet

ID identifying all

detectives within a

police department

might be 000—12,

where 000

identifies all police

users and 12

identifies the

Detective division.

• If the scanner

decodes control

channel data while

receiving

transmissions

from a Motorola

trunking system,

CNTRL appears on

the bottom line of

the display.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

is assigned a Logical Channel

Number (LCN). For the scanner to

correctly switch to an active

frequency, you must program the

frequencies in LCN order, starting

with Memory 01. EDACS talk group

IDs are entered as a 4-digit

decimal number from 0001 to

2047 or AFS (Agency Fleet

Subfleet) number from 00-001 to

15-157.

When there is activity on an

EDACS system, that information is

sent out on the control channel.

The scanner decodes the ID for

the active talk group. In the open

mode, the scanner then goes to

thetransmissionanddisplaysthe

talk group ID on the bottom line of

the display. In the closed mode,

the scanner only goes to

transmissions with IDs that match

talkgroupIDsyouhavestoredin

the bank's talk group ID list which

are not locked out.

Because EDACS scanning

requires clear reception of the

control channel at all times,

EDACS systems tend to have a

smaller usable area. An external

antenna can greatly improve

EDACS scanning in a fringe area.

If you are having trouble scanning

an EDACS system, try manually

selecting the data channel. If you

are getting good reception, the

scanner will indicate talk group

CTL—01. Try changing your location

or using an outdoor antenna to

improve reception.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

OPEN AND CLOSED

MODES

You can set your scanner to

change the way it receives

signals. These settings, called

open mode and closed mode,

affect how the scanner receives

signals from communications

systems that use some type of

closed squelch (such as Motorola

and EDACS systems). Ô

You can set each of the scanner's

channel storage banks to open or

closed mode.

In open mode, the scanner scans

signals transmitted in all systems.

The scanner stops on any ID code

and only uses the ID list to look up

ID text tags.

In closed mode, the scanner stops

only on signals that have an ID

code which is found in the ID list

for the bank. Also, the scanner

scans signals transmitted only

under the following conditions:

• When the signals are in the

FM mode.

• When the signals are in the

MOT, or ED mode and the

signal's ID code matches the

programmed ID code.

You can also select the user or

talk groups you want the scanner

toreceiveinclosedmode.

When you set a channel storage

bank to open mode, +appears

scanning. When you set a channel

storage bank to closed mode, —

TRUNKING

TRUNKING OPERATION

The scanner tracks transmissions

that use the Motorola Type I and

Type II (such as Smartnet and

Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog

trunking systems, plus GE/

Ericsson (EDACS) type systems

extensively used in many

communication systems.

Trunking systems allocate a few

frequencies to many different

users. When the mobile unit

transmits a signal, one frequency

is chosen from among the

allocated frequencies in that

trunking system. The user's ID talk

group is sent with the signal.

To receive trunking signals, you

must store all the trunking control

frequencies for Motorola systems

or all the trunking group

frequencies for EDACS in one

bank (see “Storing Known

Frequencies into Channels” on

Page 26) and input ID codes in the

ID memory (see “Storing Talk

Group IDs” on Page 62).

Your PRO-95 automatically

calculates Motorola voice channel

frequencies when it decodes the

control channel. This eliminates

Trunking

the need to enter all the Motorola

group frequencies.

The control channels are subject

to change depending on the day.

Therefore enter all the control

frequencies in the same bank. If

you do not know which is the

control channel, it is better to enter

all the system frequencies into the

same bank. (Refer to the supplied

Trunking Guide.)

When the scanner decodes the

Motorola control channel and finds

the voice channel, the scanner

displays the control channel

memory location on the top line,

the received frequency with VC

(voice channel) on the second

line, the bank and control channel

memory location number on the

third line and the Motorola ID

number on the bottom line. !

When an ID code is received, the

ID list for the bank is searched,

and if found, the text name stored

for the ID appears. If not found,

scanning resumes immediately

unless the bank is in open trunking

mode. Ô

UNDERSTANDING

TRUNKING

In the past, groups that transmit

frequently, such as police

departments, could transmit on

only a few frequencies. This

resulted in heavy traffic and often

required 2-way radio users to wait

for a specific frequency to clear

before transmitting. Trunked

systems allow more groups of

2-way radio users to use fewer

frequencies. Instead of selecting a

! IMPORTANT !

To listen to the

transmission, the

mode of the

programmed

channel must be the

same as that of the

trunking channel

(MOT, or ED).

Ô NOTE Ô

• There might be

more than one talk

group transmitting

atatimeinsome

Motorola trunking

systems. If you set

the scanner to

manually tune in

Motorola trunking

mode, you will

hear the talk group

on that channel,

but the display will

alternate between

all active IDs.

• Trunking group

frequencies are

included in the

supplied Trunking

Guide. Frequency

fleet map and talk

group information

arealsowidely

available on the

Internet, (for

example, at

www.

trunkscanner.

com).

Trunking

specific frequency to transmit on,

a trunked system chooses one of

several frequencies when the

2-way radio user transmits. The

system automatically transmits the

call on that frequency, and also

sends a code that identifies that

2-way radio user's transmission on

a control channel.

Your scanner lets you easily hear

both the call and response

transmissions for that 2-way radio

user and therefore follow the

conversation. For EDACS and

Motorola (above 406 MHz range),

the scanner monitors the control

channel between each

transmission to identify talk groups.

SETTING SQUELCH FOR

THE TRUNKING MODE

Your scanner automatically mutes

the audio during trunk scanning

when it decodes control channel

data. However, we recommend

you turn SQUELCH clockwise and

leave it set to a point just after the

hissing sound stops. This lets the

scanner quickly acquire the data

channel.

PROGRAMMING

TRUNKING FREQUENCIES

You program trunking frequencies

the same as non-trunked

frequencies, except that you must

or ED) with each frequency. Ô

Follow these steps to program

• You can scan only

• If you are

programming

FREQUENCY

CONVERSION

The tuning location of a station

can be expressed in frequency

(kHz or MHz) or in wavelength

(meters). The following

informationcanhelpyoumakethe

necessary conversions.

1 MHz (million) =

1,000 kHz (thousand)

To convert MHz to kHz, multiply

the number of megahertz by

1,000:

30.62 (MHz) x 1,000 = 30,620 kHz

Frequency Range Service

935.0125–939.9875 MHz PTR

Frequency Range Service

940.0125–940.9875 MHz GTR

Frequency Range Service

1240.000–1300.000 MHz HAM

Frequency Conversion

To convert from kHz to MHz,

divide the number of kilohertz by

1,000:

127.800 (kHz) / 1,000 = 127.8

MHz

To convert MHz to meters, divide

300 by the number of megahertz:

300/50 MHz = 6 meters
