Installation
Connecting the Antenna
To connect an external antenna, always follow
the installation instructions supplied with
the antenna. Use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such
as RG-58 or RG-8X, to connect an outdoor
antenna. For lengths between 50 and 100 feet,
use RG-8X low-loss dielectric coaxial cable.
For lengths over 100 feet, use RG8. You also
may need a BNC adapter (not supplied).
To attach the supplied antenna:
1. Align the antenna slots
with the tabs on the
scanner, and slide the
antenna into place.
2. Turn while pushing
down until the antenna
locks into place.
Warning: Use extreme
caution when installing
or removing an outdoor
antenna. If the antenna
starts to fall, let it go! It could 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 power company to remove the
antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
Powering Your Scanner
You can power your scanner with four AA
batteries (not supplied), or an external power
source.
Batteries
When battery power is low, battery symbol
flashes and the scanner beeps every 30
seconds. When battery power is depleted, the
scanner turns itself off.
For the longest operation and best
performance, use alkaline batteries, available
at your local RadioShack store, or use
RadioShack 1600 mAh nickel-metal hydride
(Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver
more power if you let them fully discharge
once a month. To do this, use the scanner until
battery symbol flashes.
Warning: Never install nonrechargeable batteries in the
yellow rechargeable battery
holder. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot or
explode if you try to
recharge them.
Attaching the Belt Clip
To carry your scanner, slide the
supplied belt clip down on the
back of the scanner. To remove
the belt clip, pull the tab out and
slide the clip upward.
8
Installation
11
Installation
To install batteries:
1. Slide open the battery compartment
cover on the back of the scanner.
2. Place 4 AA batteries into the correct
battery holder matching polarity symbols
(+ / –):
• Black – Alkaline (non-rechargeable)
• Yellow – Rechargeable.
3. Place the battery holder into the battery
compartment and replace the cover.
To charge batteries:
1. Install rechargeable batteries.
2. Connect an external power source to the
PWR DC 9V jack. Using the scanner while
charging will increase charge time.
Battery Current Charge Time
Ni-MH 1600 mAh 16 hours
Ni-Cd 600 mAh 6 hours
Ni-Cd 850 mAh 8 hours
Do not overcharge batteries.
Overcharging shortens battery life.
Battery Notes:
• Each battery holder fits only one way. Do
not force it.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type. Do not mix
old and new batteries, different types
(alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
• Remove old or weak batteries. If you will
not use the scanner with batteries for a
month, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic
circuits.
• Always dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Placing rechargeable batteries
in the trash can be harmful to
the environment. Instead, recycle old
rechargeable batteries at your local
RadioShack store free of charge. RadioShack
participates in the RBRC© battery recycling
program, and is committed to preserving the
environment and conserving natural resources.
Call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for
more information.
External Power
You can power your scanner using a
9V, 400mA AC/DC adaptor and size C
adaptaplugTM (neither supplied).
To use an external power source:
1. Always connect the adapter (not supplied)
to the scanner first.
2. Plug the adapter into the
power source.
3. To disconnect, unplug the
adapter from the power
source first.
POWER DC 9V — External
power source (not included).
10
Installation
13
Installation
If you use an external power source for
regular operation, install alkaline batteries
for emergencies. Rechargeable batteries will
self-discharge, even when not used, and could
have no usable power.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source
that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least
400 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the scanner’s PWR DC 9V
jack. Using an adaptor that does not meet
these specifications could damage the
scanner or the adaptor.
Headphones and Speakers
You can plug headphones or an amplified
speaker (neither included) into your scanner’s
headphone jack. This automatically mutes the
scanner’s speaker.
Even though some earphones/headphones let
you hear some outside sounds when listening
at normal volume levels, they still can present
a traffic hazard.
To protect your hearing, follow these
earphone or headphones guidelines:
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening can
lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before listening. Turn on the scanner, and
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• After you set the volume, do not increase
it. Over time, your ears adapt to the
volume level, so a volume level that does
not cause discomfort might still damage
your hearing.
Keytones and Keylock
The scanner sounds a tone each time you
press a key. To prevent accidental changes,
you can lock the keypad.

Scanner Setup
A frequency, expressed in kHz or MHz, is the
tuning location of a station.
Your scanner saves frequencies to channels
and groups the channels into banks. The
scanner’s 10 banks each hold 100 channels
(1,000 channels total).
The scanner is preset to the most common
AM or FM receive modes for each frequency
range. However, some amateur transmissions
may operate in a different mode. If the
transmission sounds weak or distorted,
you may have the channel set to the wrong
receive mode:
AM – Amplitude Modulation, primarily used
for aircraft, military, some amateur and
government transmissions.
FM – Frequency Modulation, used for most
public safety transmissions, broadcast,
business, and most amateur radio
transmissions.

Signal Stalker II
Signal Stalker II provides a powerful tool to
rapidly detect, monitor and save frequencies
of nearby or high-power transmissions. Signal
Stalker II resembles more expensive portable
frequency counters, but provides many
advantages over typical portable frequency
counters.
Signal Stalker II is more sensitive than
portable frequency counters and will detect
transmissions at a greater distance. Signal
Stalker II rapidly searches the RF spectrum in
1 MHz segments. If it detects a signal, Signal
Stalker II searches in finer steps until the signal
source is found.
Signal Stalker II can search all frequencies,
or you can define frequency ranges, to avoid
ranges with constant activity, such as paging
or broadcast transmitters.

Scanning
Scanning sequentially checks all saved
channels for activity. You must save
frequencies into channels to scan. The scanner
does not scan empty channels or unsaved
frequencies.
You can increase the scanning speed by
locking out channels with continuous
transmissions, such as a weather channel, or
turning off entire banks. Turning off a bank
prevents the scanner from scanning any
channels within the bank. You cannot turn off

Trunking Setup
Instead of transmitting on a specific frequency,
trunking systems choose one of several
frequencies during a 2-way radio transmission
and simultaneously transmit a Talk Group ID
that identifies the 2-way radio user. This allows
trunking systems to allocate fewer frequencies
to multiple 2-way radio users.
Defining a Trunking Bank
You can define any of the 10 banks as a
trunking bank, but each bank can only scan for
one system: Motorola, EDACS (GE/Ericsson),
or LTR (EF Johnson).

EDACS Trunking Setup
EDACS (GE/Ericsson) systems transmit
Talk Group ID data on a dedicated control
channel. Scanning requires clear reception
of the control channel at all times, so EDACS
systems generally have a smaller usable area.
You can manually select the data channel,
but an external antenna can greatly improve
EDACS scanning.
If you are programming frequencies for an
EDACS system, you must store them in the
Logical Channel Number order (usually listed
as LCN#).
Note: For information about saving
frequencies into channels, refer to
“Defining a Channel” on page 18.
LTR Trunking Setup
LTR systems assign each frequency a Home
Repeater (HR) number and are frequently
programmed with unique ID codes for each
radio. LTR Talk Group IDs are organized in a
specific order, and to scan, you must program
the frequencies in HR order. LTR systems are
used primarily by businesses, such as taxicabs,
delivery trucks, and repair services.
42
Trunking Setup
45
Trunking Setup
LTR systems use a Home Repeater as part of

To save a correct Home Repeater:
1. Save the LTR channels in any order.
2. Set the bank to Open mode.

Saving Trunking Channels
Trunking channels are defined using the
same procedure for non-trunking channels.
In each bank, you can mix channel modes,
including conventional, but you can scan only
one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS,
Motorola, or LTR.
Because Motorola control frequencies
change daily, you should save all the control
frequencies in the same bank. If you do not
know the control frequency, save all the
Motorola frequencies in the same bank.
EDACS frequencies are assigned Logical
Channel Numbers (LCN) and organized in
a specific order. To scan correctly, you must
program the frequencies in LCN order,
starting with Memory 01.
Notes:
• Trunked modes (MO, ED, and LT) can only
be selected for frequencies above 137
MHz that use trunking operations.
• For information about adding text tags to
a channel, see “Text Tags” on Page 52.

Trunk Scanning
In each bank, you can mix conventional
channels and frequencies in a bank. However,
you can scan only one trunking mode at a
time, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR.
Press SCAN. The scanner scans through
unlocked channels in active banks. To focus
on trunk scanning, you can turn off banks that
contain only conventional channels. To change
the scanning direction, press S or T.
For Motorola channels, your scanner displays
the Talk Group ID memory location, received
frequency, voice channel (VC), and the
Motorola ID number.
Notes:
• Your scanner automatically mutes the
audio while it decodes control channel
data. However, we recommend you turn
SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point
just after the hiss stops. This lets the
scanner quickly acquire the data channel.
• For Motorola trunking systems, more than
one talk group can transmit at a time. If
you manually tune the scanner, you will
hear the talk group on that channel, but
the display will alternate between all active
Talk Group IDs.
• For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz
range), the scanner monitors the control
channel between each transmission to
identify talk groups. For some Motorola
(under 512 MHz range) and LTR systems, the
scanner uses the subaudible data sent with
each transmission to identify talk groups.

Troubleshooting
Issue Solution
The scanner is not
working at all.
Cause:
The AC or DC adaptor
might not be connected.
The batteries might be
dead or need to be recharged.
If the scanner does not
operate when you connect a DC adaptor, the
DC adaptor socket might
be dirty.
The scanner does not
receive any stations or
reception is poor.
Cause:
Antenna might not be
connected correctly.
Squelch setting might be
too sensitive causing it to
pick up unwanted, partial
or weak transmissions.
Antenuator might be on
so your scanner might
not receive weak signals.
The scanner might need
to be initialized.
Be sure the adaptor’s barrel
plug is fully inserted into
the PWR DC 9V jack. The
center tip of the adaptor’s
barrel plug must be set to
positive.
Recharge the rechargeable
batteries or replace the
standard batteries.
Unplug the DC adaptor
from the power source and
clean the socket, or check
the adaptor’s internal fuse.
Check the antenna.
Check the squelch.
Check the Attenuator.
Turn the scanner off then
on again, or initialize the
scanner.
Issue Solution
The scanner is on but
does not scan.
Cause:
The squelch might not
be adjusted correctly.
There might only be one
channel or no channels
stored in the scanner.
The keylock might be
turned on.
Error message appears
when trying to upload
or download from a
computer.
Cause:
Your computer is using
Windows XP and does
not have the necessary
USB cable driver.
Turn SQ clockwise.
Save more frequencies into
channels.
Turn off keylock.
Download and install the
“Windows XP Driver to
resolve PC connection error” file from your scanner’s
Product Support page or the
Software Download page on
www.RadioShack.com.
Then make your connection
and try again. Be sure the
correct COM port is selected in device manager.
Birdie Frequencies
All scanners have signals created inside the
scanner’s receiver. These birdie frequencies
can interfere with transmissions on the same
frequencies. If the interference is not severe,

nearby radio or TV sets are turned on near
the scanner.
2. Start a search of every frequency range
from its lowest frequency to the highest.
When the search stops, often without any
sound, this is a birdie.
3. Make a list of all the birdies in your
scanner for future reference.
Initializing the Scanner
If the scanner’s display locks up or does not
work properly after you connect a power
source or install batteries, you might need to
initialize it.
Caution: This procedure clears the
scanner’s memory. Initialize the scanner
only after trying all other methods to
correct issues.
To initialize the scanner:
1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.

Service and Repair
If your scanner is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack,
use the store locator feature on RadioShack’s
web
site (www.radioshack.com), or call
1-800-The Shack (800-843-7422) and follow the
menu options. Modifying or tampering with
the scanner’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty
and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by
many different groups including police
and fire departments, ambulance services,
government agencies, private 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), as amended, 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
56
Additional Information
59
Additional Information
the communication (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal).
This scanner is designed to prevent reception
of illegal transmissions, in compliance with
the law which requires that scanners be
manufactured in such a way 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 it is not legal to listen to.
Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner
is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the
laws in your area. It is also illegal in many
areas to interfere with the duties of public
safety officials by traveling to the scene of an
incident without authorization.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
FCC Notice
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 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.

Appendix A: Glossary
Frequency – The signal (expressed in MHz)
used by broadcasting radios. To find active
frequencies, you can use frequency guides
available from your local RadioShack store,
frequency lists posted on the Internet, or your
scanner’s search function.
Bank – A storage unit for a group of channels.
A channel contains one frequency, and a bank
can hold up to 100 channels.
Channel – A programmable memory locations
for a single frequency.
Talk Group ID – A simultaneous trunking
transmission that identifies 2-way radio users.
This allows trunking systems to allocate a few
frequencies to multiple 2-way radio users.
Sub-bank – Each bank has an associated
Talk Group ID sub-bank. In Closed mode, the
scanner only stops if a transmission has a Talk
Group ID saved in the associated Talk Group
ID sub-bank. In Open Mode, the scanner stops
on all transmissions, except those you lock out.
Appendix B: Search Banks
All scanners tune by steps. Your RadioShack
scanner uses steps consistent with the latest
US or worldwide standards. If you enter a
non-valid step frequency, any scanner will
tune to the next step. Some scanner designs
do this without showing the correct step in
the display. This scanner will show the actual
tuned frequency in the display. Because steps
are so close together, the audio quality will
not be affected by the offset.
