INTRODUCTION

Your

new

Realistic@

pRO-2005

Desk-Top

programmable

Scanner

lets

you

in on

all the

action!

your

scanner

gives

you

direct

access to over 196,000

frequencies

in

nine

ac_

tion-packed

radio

bands including

police,

fire,

ambulance,

aircraft,

ham

radio,

and transportation

seruices,

in

addition

to normal

FM broadcasts,

TV sound,

and CB.

you can

select

up to 400 channels

for your scanner

to scan

through,

and

you can change

your

channel

selection

at

any time.

The secret

of your PRO-2005

scanner

is a custom_

designed

microprocessor-a

computer-on-a-chip-that

al_

lows you

to instantly

select

any frequency

without

having

to change

any crystals.

This

microprocessor

also

givei

your

scanner

special

functions,

such

as:

Liquid

Crystal Display-shows

the channel

and

the fre_

quency

you

have

selected,

as well

as

other information.

Two-Second

to prevent

your losing

replies

on

a channelwhile you

are

scanning.

Memory

Backup-keeps

the

channel

frequencies

stored

in

your

scanner's

memory

if

a power

failure

occurs.

Lock-Out Function-lets

your scanner

skip over a

specified

channel

or

group

of channels.

Ten Channel

Storage

Banks-allow you to group

your

stored frequencies

so

that

calls

are

easier to identify.

Priority

Channel-helps

to keep

you

from

missing

impor-

tant

calls

on

the

selected

channel.

Direct Frequency

Search-allows you to scan

through

every

available

frequency

to find

interesting

broadcasts.

Monitor

Banks-allow

you to save

up to ten additional

channels

located

during

a

frequency

search.

Sound

Squelch-keeps

the

scanner

from

stopping

on

a

channel

that

is

only

broadcasting

a carrier,

with

no

voice

or

other

sound.

PREPARATION

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your

scanner uses a

g-volt

battery for

memory

backup.

For

longest

operation

and best

performance,

we recommend

an alkaline

battery, such as

Radio

Shack's Cat. No. 23-553.

For

best

results, replace the

battery every

six

months.

"BATT"

flashes

in the

display and

beeps sound when the

battery

is low

or

not installed. When

this happens,

replace

or

installthe

battery

immediately.

Caution:

Your

scanner can keep

channels stored

in its

memory for a few minutes

even

with the AC cord un-

plugged

and

the

9-volt battery

disconnected.

But, to avoid

loss

of memory

information,

do not unplug

the scanner

when replacing the

battery.

ln addition, never

leave

a weak

or dead battery

in your

scanner; even

"leakproof"

batteries

can leak

damaging

chemicals.

UNDERSTANDING

CHANNEL

STORAGE

BANKS

AND

SEARCH

BANKS

Your

scanner

can store

up

to 410

frequencies.

you

store

each

frequency

in either

a permanent

memory,

called

a

channel,

or a temporary

memory,

called

a monitor.

The

scanner

has 400

channels

and ten

monitor

memories.

To make

it easier

to identify

and

select the

channels

you

want

to listen

to,

channels

are

divided into

ten

groups

of

40

channels.

Each

group

of channels

is

called

a bank.

per-

haps

the

best way

to explain

the

use of memory

banks is

through

a

practical

example.

Suppose

you want to monitor

four different

agencies:

police,

fire,

ambulance,

and

aircraft. As

a

rule,

each

agency

has

several

different

frequencies

they

use for

different

pur-

poses.

The

police

might

have

four

frequencies,

one for

each side

of town.

To

make

it

easier

to quickly

determine

which

agency

you

are listening

to,

you

could

program

the

police

frequencies

starting

with

Channel 1

(Bank

1). Then,

start

the

fire

department

on Channel

41 (Bank

2), am-

bulance

service

on

Channel

81

(Bank

3),

and aircraft fre-

quencies

on

Channel 121

(Bank

4).

Now,

when

you

want

to listen

to

only fire

calls, it

is

simple

to turn

off

Banks

1

and

3

through

10

so

that

only Bank

2 is

scanned. You

could

also

use this

feature

to group

the

channels

by

city or by

county.

Simply

press

the

number

16

corresponding

to

the

bank

you

want

to

turn

on

or off. The

bar below

the number

in

the

display

shows that

bank is

on.

Your

scanner

also has

ten

temporary

monitor

memories.

You

use these

memories

to store frequencies

temporarily,

while

you

decide whether

to save them

in

one

of

the

per-

manent

channels. This

is

handy for

quickly

storing

an ac-

tive

frequency

when

you

are searching

through

an entire

band.

See

"Searching

for Active

Frequencies.,,

When

you

are

in

the

monitor

mode,

the

ten numbers

at

the

top

of

the

display represent

the ten

monitor

memories.

The

flashing

number

shows the

current

memory.

In

addition,

your

until you hear a hissing

sound.

Then,

slowly turn

SQUELCH

a comfoftable listening

level.

lf

the

scanner

picks

up unwanted

weak

transmissions,

turn

SQUELCH clockwise to

decrease

the

scanner's

sensitivitv

to

these

signals.

USING

THE

SOUND

SQUELCH

SWITCH

lf

the

scanner stops

at a

transmission

during

scan,

search,

or

priority

modes, the

[SOUND

SOUELCH]

switch tets

the

scanner start

scanning again if the

transmission

contains

no

sound

(carrier

only without

modulated

signals).

lf your

scanner

stops

at a frequency

that

has

no sound,

press

[SOUND

SQUELCH]. The

indicator

tf the

scanner

detects no

sound within

0.5 seconds, it goes

to

the

neld transmission.

When the scanner

receives

a frequency

that contains

sound, it halts

at the frequency.

lf the

sound

ceases, the

scanner stays

on the frequency

for 5 seconds,

and

resumes

scanning.

lf the

carrier

stops, the

scanner

begins

to scan

immediately

if the

delay function

is off, or after 2

seconds if the

delay

function

is

on.

To cancel

sound squelch,

press

[SOUND

SQUELCH]

again.

The indicator

goes

off.

Note: lf a frequency

contains

a transmission

with low

modulation,

the sound

squelch

circuit might

not work

properly.

SCANNING THE

CHANNELS

To begin scanning

channels,

just press

[SCAN].

Your

scanner

scans

through

all

the

channels that

you

have

not

locked

out of

the

banks that

are turned

on.

You

must

set

SQUELCH

so that

you

do not hear

the hissing

sound

be-

tween transmissions.

Be

sure to read

the following

sections

to get the full benefit from the special features

of your

scanner.

USING

THE

DELAY

FEATURE

Many

agencies

use

two-way radio

systems

that might have

a period

of several seconds between a query

and a reply.

To keep

from missing

a reply,

program

a delay

on the

channels

you

identify as

operating

this way. To

program

a

delay,

manually

select

the

channel, and

press

[DEI-AY].

"DELAY"

appears

in the

display.

Now, when

you

are scan-

ning

through

channels,

your scanner

pauses

for two

seconds after

the

completion of each

transmission

on

that

channel

before

resuming

scanning.

Some

radio systems, especially

those

above 800

MHz, use

a special

"trunked"

system.

In these systems,

the transmit-

ter selects an available

frequency each

time the

operator

keys the radio.

Therefore, it is

possible

for the

query

to

be

on one

frequency and

the

reply on another.

To

ensure

the

best

possibility

of

hearing the full reply,

you

want the

scan-

ner to

begin

scanning

immediately when the

first transmis-

sion

ends.

In this

case, select

the channel

manually and

ensure

that

"DELAY"

is not in the

display.

lf

"DELAY"

is indi-

cated,

press

[DEI-AY]

to turn

off

this

feature for that

chan-

nel.

SETTING

THE SCANNING SPEED

Your scanner

has two

different scanning

speeds

- 8 chan-

nels

per

second

and

16

channels

per

second.

To

switch

between

the two scanning speeds,

press

[SPEED]

during

scanning.

LOCKING

OUT CHANNELS

You can

increase the

effective scanning speed

by

locking

out channels

that

you have not

programmed.

Manually

select

the

channel, and

then

press

[UOUT],

so

that

"LOCK-

OUT" appears

in the

display.

This is

also

handy for

locking

out channels

that have

a continuous

transmission, such as

a

weather channel.

You

can still

manually

select

locked-out

channels

for listening.

To

disable

the lock-out function, manually select

the chan-

nel and

press

[L/OUT].

Or,

press

[UO

RW] in manual or

program

mode to

call out

locked-out

channels

one by one.

Then,

press

[UOUT]

again.

Note: You

can

lock

out as

many

channels

as

you

like.

But

there must

be at

least

one channel

that

you

have not

lock-

ed out

in

each

bank.

24

TURNING

BANKS

ON AND

OFF

As

explained

in "Understanding

Channel

Storage Banks

and

Search Banks"

your

scanner

splits the 400

channels

into

ten

banks

of forty

channels

each. The

small

bars

under

the numbers

at the

top of the

display

are

the

bank in-

dicators. You

can turn

each

bank

on and

off,

so

that

all

the

channels

in

a bank

are

either

scanned

or locked

out.

In

scan mode,

press

the number

key for

the

bank

you

want to

turn

on or

off.

lf

the

bank indicator

is

on,

you

have

turned

on the

bank

and the

scanner

scans all the

channels

within

that

bank that

you

have

not

locked

out.

lf

the indicator

is

off, the

scanner

does

not

scan

any of the

channels

within

that

bank. You

can still manually

select

any

channel in

a

bank,

even if

you

have turned

off the

bank. You

cannot turn

off all

banks

- one must

be turned

on.

USING

THE PRIORITY

FEATURE

You

can scan through

all

your programmed

channels,

and

still

not

miss

an

important

or

interesting

call

on

a specific

channel.

Simply

program

your

desired

channel

as the

priority

channel,

and turn

on the

priority

feature

by

press-

ing

[PRl]

during

scanning. The

scanner now

checks the

priority

channel

every two

seconds,

and

stays on the

chan-

nel if

there is

activity.

To

program

a priority

channel,

simply

press

[pROGRAM],

and the

desired

channel number.

Then,

press

[pRl].

,,p"

ap-

pears

in the

display whenever

the scanner is set to the

priority

channel.

You

can only

program

one

channel

as the

priority

channel. lf you program

a new

channel

as the

priority

channel,

the previous

channel

you chose is

automatically

cleared.

Note:

Channel 1

is

automatically

designated

as the

priority

channel the

first time

you

turn

on

your

scanner.

MANUALLY

SELECTING

A CHANNEL

You

can continuously

monitor

a single

channel

without

scanning.

This is

useful

if

you

hear

an emergency

broad-

cast

on a channel

and do not

want

to miss

any

of the

details

- even though

there might

be

periods

of silence

- or

if

you

want

to monitor

a channel

that

you

have

locked

out.

To

select

a channel to monitor,

just

press

[MANUAL],

and

enter the

channel

number. Then,

press

[MANUAL]

again.

Or, if your

scanner is scanning

and has

stopped

at the

desired

channel,

just press

[MANUAL]

once. Pressing

[MANUAL]

additional times

causes

your

scanner

to step

through

the

channels

one at a time.

GUIDE

TO THE ACTION BANDS

With

the right frequencies programmed

into

your

scanner,

you

can

monitor

exciting

events.

With

a little

investigation,

you

can find

active frequencies

in

your

community. We

can

give you

some

general

pointers,

and

you

can take it from

there. Please

use

caution

and

common

sense

when

you

hear

an emergency

call. Never

go

to

the

scene of

an emer-

gency

- it

could

be

the

most

dangerous

thing

you

could

ever do.

Find

out if there

is a local

club that monitors

your

community's frequencies.

Perhaps,

a local

electronics

repair

shop

that

works

on

equipment

similar

to

your

scan-

ner

can

give

you

channel frequencies

used by

local

radio

services. A volunteer

police

or fire

employee

can

also be a

good

source

of

this information.

As

a general

rule

on

VHF,

most

activity

concentrates

be-

tween 153.785

and 155.98

MHz

and then

again

from

153.73 to 159.46

MHz.

Here

you

find

local

government,

police,

fire,

and most

such

emergency

seruices.

lf

you

are

near

a railroad

yard

or major

railroad

tracks, look

around

160.0 to 161.9

for

signals.

In

some

larger

cities there

has

been

a move

to the

UHF

bands

for

emergency

services.

Here,

most

of the

activity

is

in

a spread of 453.025-453.95

MHz

and

again between

456.025-459.95

MHz.

In the

UHF band, mobile

units

and control units

associated

with

base and

repeater

units occur in the

overall

spreads

of

456.025-459.95

and

465.025-469.975.

The repeater

units

operate 5

MHz

lower

(that

is,

451.025-454.95

and

460.025-

464.975

MHz) than

the

base units. This means that

if

you

find

an active frequency

inside

one of these

spreads,

you

can

look

5 MHz lower

(or

higher,

as

the

case may

be)

to

find

that radio

seruice.

A new

technology is now

available that

allows

the

use of

the

800 MHz

band for

many

services.

Some

public

safety

agencies

use

trunked

radio,

introduced

to business

sys-

tems in 1979.

With

as many

as

twenty

channels available,

the transmitter

automatically

selects

an unused

channel

each time it is

activated.

Several

agencies

can share

such

a system without

causing

interference.

This

system

can

also be

programmed

to provide

secure

communications

for

selected units, with

unselected

units unable to hear the

message.

Frequencies

in different

bands

are accessible

only at

specific intervals.

However,

the frequencies

that

you

can

store

into

your

scanner's

memory

are

in

5 kHz, 12.5

kHz,

or 50 kHz

steps. Your

scanner

automatically rounds

the

entered

frequency

down to the

nearest valid frequency.

For

example, if

you

try

to enter

a

frequency

of 151.473,

your

scanner accepts this

entry

as

151.470.

Unlike the

lower

bands, frequencies

in

the 800 MHz

band

are not

allocated

by

the

FCC

to specific

services

such

as Police,

Fire,

Ambulance,

and

so

on. In each

area, the channels

are

licensed

on

a first

basis.

There

are two categories

for

licensing:

Public

Safety

and Industrial.

Systems

using

one to five

are conventional.

Five

must

You

might

discover

some

of

your

regular

stations

on

another frequency

that is

not listed.

lt might

be what

is known

as

an

"image."

For

example,

you

suddenly

find

459.2750

also

being heard

on 474.8750.

To

see if

it iJan.image,

do

a

little

math.

Take

the intermediate

frequency

of 10.7

MHz

and

double it. Then,

subtract it from

the

"new"

frequency.

lf

the

answer is

the

regular

frequency, you

have

tuned

to

an image.

Occasionally

you

might

get

interference

on

a

weak

or distant

channel

from

a strong

broadcast

21.4MHz

below the

tuned

frequency.

This

is rare,

and the

image

signal

is

usually

cleared whenever

a

broadcast

on

the

actualfrequency

is in

progress.

MAINTENANCE

Your

PRO-2005

is an

example

of

superior

design

and

craftsmanship.

The following

suggestions

will

help

you

care for the

PRO-2005

so that

you

can

enjoy it

for

years.

Keep

the

PRO-2005

dry. lf it

does

get

wet,

wipe

it

dry immediately.

Liquids

can

contain

minerals

that

can

corrode

the

electronic

circuits.

Use

only fresh

batteries

of

the

recommended

size

and type.

Always

remove

old

or

weak

bat-

teries.

They

can leak

chemicals

that

destroy

electronic

circuits.

Handle

the PRO-2005 gently

and carefully.

Dropping

it

can

damage

circuit

boards

and

cases

and

can

cause the

product

to work

improperly.

Use

and

store the

PRO-2005

only in normal

temperature

environments.

High

temperatures

can

shorten

the

life

of electronic

devices,

damage

batteries,

and

distort

or meit

plastic

parts.

Keep

the

PRO-2005

away from

dust

and

dirt, which

can

cause

premature

wear

of

parts.

Wipe

the

PRO-2005

with

a dampened

cloth

occasionally

to keep

it

looking

new.

Do

not

use

harsh

chemicals,

cleaning

solvents,

or strong

detergents

to clean

the

pRo-t005.

Modifying

or tampering

with

the

PRO-2005's

internal

components

can

cause

a malfunction

and

might invalidate

the

pRO-

2005's

warranty.
