PRO-2030 80-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner (200-0407)

FEATURES

Your Realistic PRO-2030 80-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner lets you in on all the

action! This scanner gives you direct access to over 32,000 frequencies, including those used by the

police department, fire department, ambulance services, amateur radio operators and transportation

services. You can select up to 80 channels for your scanner to scan and you can change your selection

at any time.

The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is its custom-designed microprocessor

-a tiny, built-in computer. Your scanner also has these special features:

•Two-Second Scan Delay -delays the scanning mode for 2 seconds before moving to another

channel, so you can hear more replies.

•Memory Backup -keeps the channel frequencies stored in your scanner's memory for up to

three days without power.

•Lock-Out Function -keeps channels you select from being scanned.

•Eight Channel Storage Banks -lets you store 10 channels in each of 8 banks to group

frequencies so you can easily identify calls

•Priority Channel -helps keep you from missing important calls on a channel you specify.

•Direct Search -scans for new and unlisted frequencies to find interesting broadcasts.

•Hyperscan -scans and searches channels at 50 channels per second.

•Monitor Memories -temporarily save up to ten frequencies you locate during a frequency

search.

•Weather Band Key -scans the preprogrammed weather frequencies to keep you informed of

the most current weather conditions.

•Backlight -lets you easily see the scanner's display at night

Your PRO-2030 covers all of these bands:

PREPARATION

CONNECTING POWER

CAUTION: Use only the supplied AC adapter. Using a different adapter can damage your scanner

and could present a safety hazard.

Follow these steps to power your scanner.

1. Plug the provided AC adapter's plug into the scanner's DC 12V jack.

2. Plug the adapter's power module into a standard AC outlet.

The memory backup circuit begins to function a few minutes after you plug in the scanner. If a power

failure occurs or if the power cord is disconnected, this circuit stores information in the scanner's

memory for up to three days.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA

To attach the supplied telescoping antenna, screw it into the hole on the top of your scanner.

The antenna's length controls its sensitivity. Adjust the length of the telescoping antenna as follows for

best reception.

29-54 MHz ....................... Extend Fully (3 segments)

108-174 MHz ..................... Extend 2 segments

380-512 MHz ..................... Collapse Fully (1 segment only)

806-956 MHz ..................... Collapse Fully (1 segment only)

CONNECTING AN OPTIONAL ANTENNA

The telescoping antenna is adequate for strong local signals. For best results, attach a multi-band

outdoor antenna (not supplied to the scanner.

Your local RadioShack store sells a complete line of outdoor antennas.

Follow these steps to install an outdoor antenna.

1. Select a location as high as possible.

2. Mount the antenna following the instructions that come with the antenna and its mounting

hardware.

3. Plug the antenna into the scanner's ANT jack on the rear of the scanner using 50 Ohm coaxial

cable (RG-58, RG-8/M or RG-8, not supplied). For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8/M or RG-8

low loss, coaxial cable.

Note: This scanner uses a BNC antenna connector. You may need an antenna adapter, such as Cat.

No. 278-120 to use other antennas.

WARNING: When installing or removing an outdoor antenna, use extreme caution. If the antenna

starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. IF THE ANTENNA TOUCHES THE

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 EXTERNAL SPEAKER

In a noisy area, an extension speaker, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 21-549, positioned in the right

place, might provide more comfortable listening.

Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini plug into the EXT SP jack on the back of the scanner.

This automatically disconnect the internal speaker.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANNER

A LOOK AT THE DISPLAY

The display has several indicators that show the scanner's current operating mode. A quick look at the

display will help you understand how to operate your scanner.

•MON -appears when you listen to a monitor memory.

•BANK -appears with numbers (1-8) to the right to show which channel storage banks are

turned on for the scan mode. See UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS.

•SCAN -appears when you scan channels.

•MANUAL -appears when you manually select a channel.

•PROGRAM -appears while you program frequencies into the scanner's channels.

•P -appears when you listen to the priority channel.

•CH -digits that precede this indicator show which channel the scanner is currently tuned to.

•MHz -digits that precede this indicator show which of the 32,000 possible frequencies the

scanner is tuned to.

•Error -appears when you make an incorrect entry.

•PRIORITY -appears when you turn on the priority channel feature.

•LOCKOUT -appears when you manually select a locked channel.

•DELAY -appears when you program a channel for a two second delay before scanning or

when you listen to a channel programmed with the delay feature.

•WX -appears when the scanner is in the weather band mode.

•SEARCH -appears during a limit search (when L -also appears) or a direct frequency search

(when d -also appears).

•/\ and \/ -indicates the search direction.

A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD

Your scanner's keys might seem confusing at first, but a quick glance at this section should help you

understand each key's function.

•POWER -turns the scanner on and off.

•SCAN -scans through the programmed channels.

•L/O -lets you lock out a selected channel.

•PRI -sets and turns on and off priority for a particular channel.

•LIMIT -used during frequency searches. See SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY

STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES.

•/\ -searches frequencies up from the currently displayed frequency.

•MAN -stops scanning and lets you directly enter a channel number.

•DLY -programs a two-second delay for the selected channel.

•MON -accesses the 10 monitor memories.

•SPEED -changes the scanning or search speed from low to high or high to low.

•\/ -searches frequencies down from the currently displayed frequency.

•Number Keys -each has a single digit followed by a range of numbers. The single digit is the

number entered when you enter a channel number or frequency. The range of numbers (21-30,

for example) indicates the channels that make up a channel storage bank. See

UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS.

•CLEAR -clears an incorrect entry.

•PGM -programs frequencies into channels.

•WX -scans through the 7 preprogrammed weather channels.

•ENTER -enters program frequencies into channels.

UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

You canstore up to 90 frequencies into your scanner's memory. You store each frequency into either a

permanent memory, called a channel, or a temporary memory, called a monitor. There are 80 available

channels and 10 available monitor memories.

CHANNEL STORAGE BANKS

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into 8

channel-storage banks of 10 channels each. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such

as the police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft.

For example, the police might use four frequencies, one for each side of town. You can program the

police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (Bank 1) and program the fire department on Channel 11

(Bank 2). When you want to listen to only police calls, you can turn off the other banks.

MONITOR MEMORIES

The scanner also has 10 monitor memories. You use these memories to temporarily store frequencies

while you decide whether to save them in channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active

frequency when you search through an entire band. You can manually select these memories, but you

cannot scan them. See UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS.

When you are in the monitor mode, one of the memory numbers (1-10) appears to the right of the

MON indicator. The number indicates the current monitor memory.

OPERATION

SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH

Follow these steps to set VOLUME and SQUELCH.

1. Set VOLUME to about 2 and SQUELCH to 10.

2. Slowly turn SQUELCH counterclockwise until you hear a hissing sound.

3. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable sound level.

4. Slowly rotate SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing stops.

Note: If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, rotate SQUELCH

clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these signals.

STORING FREQUENCIES

Your scanner has 90 channels into which you can store frequencies.

Follow these steps to store a frequency into a channel.

1. Press MAN. Enter the channel number you want to program.

2. Press PGM. PROGRAM appears on the display to indicate that the scanner is in the

programming mode.

3. Enter a frequency.

4. Press ENTER to store the frequency.

Notes:

•If you made a mistake in Step 3, Error appears on the display. Press CLEAR and repeat

Step 3.

•Your scanner automatically rounds down the entered frequency to the nearest valid

frequency. For example, if you try to enter a frequency of 151.4730, your scanner

accepts it as 151.4750.

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 to program more channels.

Note: If you want to program the next channel in sequence, repeat Steps 2-4.

SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES

Good references for active frequencies are RadioShack's "Police Call Guide Including Fire and

Emergency Services," "Official Aeronautical Frequency Directory" and "Maritime Frequency

Directory." We update these directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.

If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, use these procedures to search for a

transmission.

Note: Press DLY if you want to make the scanner pause 2 seconds after a transmission ends before it

proceeds to the next frequency.

LIMIT SEARCH

Limit Search lets you search within a range of frequencies. -L-appears on the display during a limit

search.

1. Press PGM, then LIMIT. Lo appears on the display.

2. Enter the lower limit of the frequency range you want to search.

3. Press ENTER, then LIMIT. Hi appears on the display.

4. Enter the upper limit of the frequency range you want to search.

5. Press ENTER.

6. Press /\to search up from the lower limit. Or press \/ to search down from the upper limit.

7. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MON to store the frequency in the current

monitor memory, or press /\or \/ to continue the search.

Note: As you store frequencies in monitor memories, the flashing numbers to the right of MON

indicates the current monitor memory. The new frequency will replace the previously stored

frequency.

DIRECT SEARCH

When you are in program or manual mode, you can search up or down from the current displayed

frequency. -d-appears on the display during a direct search.

1. Press MAN and the channel number to select a channel into which you have programmed a

frequency. Then press MAN or PGM to enter the channel number from which you want to

start your search.

2. Press /\or \/ to search up or down from the display frequency.

3. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MON to store the frequency in the current

monitor memory, or press /\or \/ to continue the search.

NOTE: Press DLY to make the scanner pause 2 seconds after a transmission before it proceeds

to the next frequency.

LISTENING TO MONITOR MEMORIES

You can listen to monitor memories by pressing MAN, MON, and then the number for the monitor

memory you want to listen to.

Moving A Frequency From A Monitor Memory To A Channel

Follow these steps to move a frequency from a monitor memory to a channel.

1. Press MAN. Enter the channel number you want to store the monitor frequency into, then press

PGM.

2. Press MON and enter the monitor memory number that has the frequency you want to store.

3. Press ENTER. The scanner stores the monitor frequency into the channel.

Note: If you want to return to a limit search after this procedure, press LIMIT and either /\or \/

to continue.

SCANNING THE CHANNELS

To begin scanning the channels in your scanner, press SCAN. The scanner scans through all non-

locked channels (see "Locking Out Channels" in SPECIAL FEATURES). Set SQUELCH so you do

not hear the hissing sound between transmissions.

SPECIAL FEATURES

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a period of several seconds between a

query and a reply. To program a delay into that channel to keep from missing a reply, select the

channel and press DLY so DELAY appears on the display. The scanner pauses for 2 seconds on a

channel programmed with a delay.

When your scanner pauses at an active channel which has been programmed with a delay, it waits two

seconds after the completion of each transmission on that channel before it resumes scanning.
