Features
Your RadioShack Handheld Scanner is one of a new
generation of scanners designed to track Motorola®Type
I and Type II (such as Smartnet®and Privacy Plus®) and
hybrid analog trunking systems, plus GE/Ericsson
(EDACS®) and EF Johnson (LTR®) 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 se-
lecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user
simply selects a talk group. The trunking system auto-
matically transmits the call on the first available frequen-
cy, and also sends a code that uniquely identifies that
transmission.
Since the trunking system might send a call and its re-
sponse on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to
trunked communications using a regular scanner. The
scanner monitors the data sent with a 2-way radio trans-
mission, so you can hear the call and response for that
user and more easily “follow” the conversation.
The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmis-
sions, and is preprogrammed with service search banks
for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can
quickly search those frequencies most commonly used
by public service and other agencies without tedious and
complicated programming.
This scanner gives you direct access to over 33,000 fre-
quencies including those used by police and fire depart-
ments, ambulance services, government agencies, air,
and amateur radio services.
Your scanner includes these features:
Simultaneous Trunking Operation — tracks three
trunking systems (LTR, Motorola, and EDACS) and con-
ventional systems at the same time.
10 Channel-Storage Banks — let you store 50 chan-
nels in each bank (500 channels) to group channels so
calls are easier to identify.
20-522b.fm Page 5 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

6Features
12-Character, 4-Line, Dot-Matrix Display — shows
you detailed operating information and lets you easily
program the scanner.
Weather Alert — automatically sounds the alarm tone to
advise of hazardous weather conditions when it detects
the alert signal on the local National Oceanic and Atmo-
spheric Administration (NOAA) weather channel during
priority operation.
Digital Weather Alert — displays the weather event text
so you can see the reason for the alert.
Preprogrammed Frequency Ranges — let you search
for transmissions within preset frequency ranges or with-
in ranges you set, to reduce search time and select inter-
esting frequencies more quickly.
Subaudible Tone Decode — decodes and displays the
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) tone
signal being transmitted.
Digital Subaudible Tone Decode — decodes and dis-
plays the Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) being received.
Data Cloning — lets you transfer the programmed data
to another PRO-92 scanner. You can also upload or
download the programmed data to or from a PC using
an optional interface kit.
Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver — vir-
tually eliminates any interference from intermediate fre-
quency (IF) images, so you hear only the frequency you
select.
HyperscanTM and HypersearchTM — the scanner scans
at up to 25 channels per second and searches at up to
50 steps per second, to help you quickly find interesting
transmissions.
Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds be-
fore moving to another channel in conventional mode, so
you can hear more replies that are made on the same
channel.
20-522b.fm Page 6 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

Features
Priority Channel — you can set the scanner to check
one channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss impor-
tant calls.
Signal Attenuation (Attenuate) — lets you program
each memory location to reduce the scanner’s sensitivity
to strong local signals, to reduce interference or noise
caused by these signals.
Text Input — lets you input a text label for each chan-
nel, talk group ID, bank, or other memory location so you
can easily know about the transmission you are hearing.
Lock Out Function — lets you set your scanner to skip
over specified channels or frequencies when scanning
or searching, and skip over IDs when tracking trunked
systems.
Key Lock — lets you lock the scanner’s keys to help
prevent accidentally changing the scanner’s program-
ming.
Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector — provides ex-
cellent reception and is designed to help prevent anten-
na breakage.
Memory Backup — keeps the frequencies stored in
memory for an extended time even without internal bat-
teries.
Three Power Options — let you power the scanner with
internal batteries (non-rechargeable batteries or re-
chargeable batteries). You can also use an AC adapter
(not supplied) or power the scanner in a vehicle using a
DC adapter (not supplied).
Supplied Police Call Trunking Guide — provides a
quick reference to public safety trunking radio systems in
the United States.
Your scanner can receive these frequencies:
• 29–54 MHz
• 108–136.9875 MHz
• 137–174 MHz
20-522b.fm Page 7 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

8Features
• 380–512 MHz
• 806–823.9875 MHz
• 849–868.9875 MHz
• 894–960 MHz
This Owner’s Manual also includes the section “A Gen-
eral Guide to Scanning” on Page 58 to help you target
frequency ranges in your service area so you can search
for a wide variety of transmissions.
FCC NOTICE
Your scanner might cause TV or radio interference even
when it is operating properly. To determine whether your
scanner is causing the interference, turn off your scan-
ner. If the interference goes away, your scanner is caus-
ing the interference. Try the following methods to
eliminate the interference.
• Move your scanner away from the TV or radio.
• Connect your scanner to an outlet that is on a differ-
ent electrical circuit from the TV or radio.
• Contact your local RadioShack store for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC re-
quires that you stop using your scanner.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules
. Op-
eration is subject to the following conditions: (1) this de-
vice must not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires
a permit in some areas. Check the laws in your area.
SCANNING LEGALLY
Scanning is a fun and interesting hobby. You can hear
police and fire departments, ambulance services, gov-
ernment agencies, private companies, amateur radio
services, aircraft, and military operations. It is legal to lis-
20-522b.fm Page 8 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

Preparation
ten to almost every transmission your scanner can re-
ceive. However, there are some electronic and wire
communications that are illegal to intentionally intercept.
These include:
• telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other
private means of telephone signal transmission)
• pager transmissions
• scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the
Federal Electronic Communications Pri-
vacy Act
(ECPA), as amended, you could be fined and
possibly imprisoned for intentionally listening to, using,
or disclosing the contents of such a transmission unless
you have the consent of a party to the communication
(unless such activity is otherwise illegal). These laws
change from time to time and there might be state or lo-
cal laws that also affect legal scanner usage.
ˆ
Preparation
POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable
batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries” on
Page 10)
• standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter —
see “Using AC Power” on Page 13)
• vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see
“Using Vehicle Power” on Page 14)
Notes:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis-
connects internal batteries when you use the sup-
plied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does
not disconnect internal batteries when you use the
supplied rechargeable battery holder.
20-522b.fm Page 9 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

10 Preparation
• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you
can operate the scanner and recharge the
rechargeable batteries at the same time. See “Using
Batteries” below and “Charging Rechargeable Bat-
teries” on Page 12.
• If the scanner stops working properly after connect-
ing it to power, try resetting it. See “Resetting/Initial-
izing the Scanner” on Page 67.
Using Batteries
You can power the scanner with six AA batteries. For the
longest operation and best performance, we recommend
alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack
store.
You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable black
battery holder, or the supplied rechargeable yellow bat-
tery holder. If you use the rechargeable battery holder,
we recommend RadioShack nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride batteries.
Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the
rechargeable yellow battery holder. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge
them.
Note: You must charge rechargeable batteries before
you use them the first time. See “Charging Recharge-
able Batteries” on Page 12.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover on
the bottom of the scanner and slide the cover in the
direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Pull out and slide the battery holder out of the bat-
tery compartment.
20-522b.fm Page 10 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

11
Preparation
3. Insert six AA batteries in the battery holder as indi-
cated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked on
the holder.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic cir-
cuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types
of batteries (alkaline or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
4. Slide the battery holder into the compartment.
20-522b.fm Page 11 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

12 Preparation
Caution: The battery holder fits only one way. Do
not force it.
5. Replace the cover.
When battery power is low, Low Battery! appears
and the scanner beeps continuously. When battery pow-
er is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace all six
non-rechargeable batteries, or recharge the recharge-
able batteries. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries.”
Warning: Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the scanner with bat-
teries for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batter-
ies can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Charging Rechargeable Batteries
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you
charge rechargeable batteries (not supplied) while it is in
the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries connect
an appropriate AC or DC adapter to the PWR DC 9V jack.
We recommend RadioShack rechargeable batteries.
Note: To charge batteries with a DC adapter from a DC
power source, you must use RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1825 and a size H Adaptaplug®(neither supplied) avail-
able at your local RadioShack store. Make sure the
adapter’s voltage is set to 10V.
It takes between 14–16 hours to recharge rechargeable
batteries that are fully discharged. You can operate the
scanner while recharging the rechargeable batteries, but
charging takes longer.
Notes:
• The scanner can charge Ni-MH batteries, however,
these batteries require more than 24 hours to
charge. We recommend using an external quick
charger for Ni-MH batteries.
• Additional charging time is required for high-
capacity rechargeable batteries.
20-522b.fm Page 12 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

13
Preparation
• 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 batter-
ies.
Important: .The EPA certified RBRC®Bat-
tery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is
voluntarily participating in an industry pro-
gram to collect and recycle these batteries
at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in
the United States or Canada. The RBRC program pro-
vides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd bat-
teries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which
may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-
SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd bat-
tery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your ar-
ea. RadioShack’s involvement in this program is part of
the company’s commitment to preserving our environ-
ment and conserving our natural resources.
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using an 9V, 300 mA AC
adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither supplied). We
recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1767 (available at
your local RadioShack store).
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300
mA. Its center tip must be set to negative
and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner
before you connect it to AC power. When you finish,
disconnect the adapter from AC power before you
disconnect it from the scanner.
Follow these steps to connect the adapter.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with
the tip set to negative.

20-522b.fm Page 13 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

14 Preparation
2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s
PWR DC 9V jack.
3. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Power
You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power
source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V,
300 mA DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither
supplied). We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1810 (available at your local RadioShack store).
Note: For charging batteries with an optional DC adapter
from a DC power source, use RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1825 and a size H Adaptaplug (available at your local
RadioShack store). Make sure the adapter’s voltage is
set to 10V.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that sup-
plies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to negative and
its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Us-
ing an adapter that does not meet these specifica-
tions could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the scanner
before you connect it to the power source. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power
source before you disconnect it from the scanner.
Follow these steps to connect the adapter.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with
the tip set to negative.
2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s
PWR DC 9V jack.

20-522b.fm Page 14 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

15
Preparation
3. Plug the adapter’s cigarette-lighter plug into your
vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If the scanner does not operate properly when you
connect a DC adapter, unplug the DC adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket and clean the socket to remove
ashes and other debris.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Follow these steps to attach the supplied flexible anten-
na to the ANT jack on the top of your scanner.
1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with
the tabs on the ANT jack.
2. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
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 anten-
na. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of anten-
nas.
20-522b.fm Page 15 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

16 Preparation
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 (also available at your
local RadioShack store).
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the an-
tenna, route the antenna cable to the scanner, then con-
nect it to the ANT jack.
Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or re-
moving an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall,
let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the an-
tenna touches a power line, contact with the antenna,
mast, cable or guy wires can cause electrocution and
death! Call the power company to remove the antenna.
Do not attempt to do so yourself.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug an earphone or mono/
stereo headphones (not supplied), available at your local
RadioShack store, into the jack on top of your scan-
ner. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use an earphone or headphones:
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.
Extended high-volume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.
20-522b.fm Page 16 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

17
Preparation
• Set the volume to the lowest setting 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 vol-
ume level that does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone or headphones while you drive
a vehicle or ride a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-
ard and can be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones and headphones let you
hear some outside sounds when you listen at normal
levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
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 1/8-
inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug into your scanner’s jack.
Note: You must use an amplified speaker with this scan-
ner. Non-amplified speakers do not provide sufficient
volume for comfortable listening.
USING THE BELT CLIP
You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the
scanner for hands-free carrying when you are on the go.
Slide the belt clip over your belt or waistband.
20-522b.fm Page 17 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM

18 About Your Scanner
CONNECTING THE CLONE CABLE
You can transfer the programmed data to and from an-
other PRO-92 or PRO-2067 using the supplied clone ca-
ble. Connect the cable between each scanner’s PC/IF
jacks. See “Cloning the Programmed Data from Scanner
to Scanner” on Page 48. You can also upload or down-
load the programmed data to or from a PC using an op-
tional PC interface kit available by special order from
your local RadioShack store.
ˆ
About Your Scanner
Once you understand a few simple terms used in this
manual and familiarize yourself with your scanner’s fea-
tures, you can put the scanner to work for you. You sim-
ply determine the type of communications you want to
receive, then set the scanner to scan them.
A
frequency
is the receiving signal location (expressed in
kHz or MHz). To find active frequencies, you can use the
search function.
You can also search the SEARCH banks, which are pre-
programmed frequencies in the scanner’s memory (see
“Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency Range” on
Page 34 for the frequency list). You can change the
SEARCH frequency ranges.
When you find a frequency, you can store it into a pro-
grammable memory location called a
channel
, which is
grouped with your 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. See “Trunk-
ing Operation” on Page 48 for terms related to trunking
systems.
