Your
REALISTIC
Pocket-Scan PRO-6 Scanning Receiver is a super
compact solid-state Dual-Band VH F, dual-conversion super-
heterodyne receiver, capable of
automatically
scanning 4 crystal
controlled
channels. Some special features are:
two
ceramic filters,
channel loek-out circuit, skipper
circuit
and EXTernal DC POWER
jack
for
operation
from
an external souree
of
6-volts DC. The
Pocket-Scan is intended to be used
by
Civil Defense personnel,
professional or part
time
public
servants (police, firemen, etc.). or
just
anyone interested in listening to the exciting action constantly
taking place on the air waves in
your
locality.
It is designed
for
use in the narrow-band FM channels
of
Public
Service communications:
VHF
band Police, Fire, Civil Defense,
Radio Telephone, Forestry and weather service, plus many
other
Industrial Radio Services. These and
many
other
services share this
band
of
frequencies
from
30
to
50
MHz
and 148
to
174 MHz.
The PRO-6 features
both
high sensrnvrtv and selectivity and a
sophisticated
circuit
which includes 10.7 MHz and 445
kHz
ceramic
filters to reduce or eliminate adjacent channel or strong -signaI
interference. Such interference is
often
experienced when operating
in urban and
metropolitan
areas
or where very strong and closelv
placed signals are present.
The PRO-6 represents some rather complex engineering and
manufacturing achievements,
but
is designed
for
very practical
applications.
And
still,
it
is remarkably easy to use.
It
can be placed
in
your
pocket, c1ipped to
your
belt, or operated in
your
home,
office
or vehicle.
You'lI
be amazed to realize
that
this small package
contains densely packaged
circuitry
composed
of
27 transistors,
two
integrated circuits (which incorporate the equivalent
of
hundreds
of
components), 17 diodes and 4
Light
Emitting
Diodes (LED's)
for
the scanning indicators.
Your
local Radio Shack store has a complete line
of
accessories
for
use
with
the
PRO-6-extra
batteries,
power
adapters, cables. crvstals,
antennas, etc.
