Features
The Radio Shack PRO-60 Programmable Scanner lets you in on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to more than 68,000 frequencies including police, ambulance, ham radio, and transportation services. You can select up to 200 channels to scan, and 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.
Triple Conversion Superheterodyne - Virtually eliminates any interference Receiver from IF (Intermediate Frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency.
Hyperscan - Searches through frequencies at 50 steps per second or scans stored channels at 25 channels per second.
Monitor Memory - Lets you temporarily save up to 10 frequencies you find during a frequency search so you can decide later if you want to store any of them into permanent channels.
Direct Frequency Search - Gives you direct access to every available frequency so you can find interesting broadcasts.
Two-Second Scan Delay - Delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies.
Ten Channel Storage Banks - Lets you store 20 channels in each of 10 storage banks to group frequencies so you can easily identify calls.
Liquid-Crystal Display - Shows the selected channel and frequency and the selected functions.
Memory Backup - Keeps the frequencies stored in memory even when you remove the batteries.
Lockout Function - Lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels.
Keylock - Prevents you from accidentally changing the scanner's programming.
Priority Channel - Lets you designate a channel to be scanned every 2 seconds, so you do not miss important calls.
AM/FM/WFM Mode - Automatically selects the most common reception type for the band you are scanning, and lets you override that selection.
Battery-Saving Circuit - Draws only 40 percent of the normal operating power.
Optional Power Sources - Lets you power the scanner from
Page 3
internal batteries, standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter), or from your vehicle's battery (with an optional DC auto adapter).
Ni-Cd Battery Charging Circuit - Lets you recharge nickel-cadmium batteries while they are inside the battery compartment.

Contacting your local Radio store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
Page 4
using your scanner.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
Power Sources
You can power your scanner from any of the following:
Internal batteries (not supplied)
Standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter [273-1665])
Your vehicle's battery (using an optional DC auto adapter [270-1560])
Using Internal Battery Power
You can power your scanner from six AA batteries (not supplied). For the longest battery life, we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-552). Or, you can use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-125).
1. If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX counterclockwise to turn it off.
2. Press down OPEN on the center of the battery compartment cover and slide the cover off in the direction of the arrow.
3. Remove the battery holder from the battery compartment.
4. Install six fresh batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked on the battery holder and inside the battery compartment.
CAUTION: Never mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits.
5. Replace the battery holder in the compartment.
NOTE: The battery holder fits only one way in the compartment.
6. Replace the battery compartment cover.
When the batteries are low, the display flashes and the scanner beeps. When this happens, replace all six non-rechargeable batteries or recharge all six rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (see "Charging Nickel­Cadmium Batteries").
Important Information about the External Power Jacks
The PWR jack lets you connect an external AC or DC adapter to operate the scanner. Connecting an adapter to the PWR jack disconnects the internal
Page 5
batteries.
NOTE: You can use the PWR jack when either chargeable or non-rechargeable batteries are installed.
The CHG jack lets you connect an external AC or DC adapter to operate the scanner. When you connect an adapter to the CHG jack, the internal batteries remain connected and get recharged.
WARNING: Never use the CHG jack when non-chargeable batteries are installed. If you try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, they could get very hot and might explode or leak acid.
CHARGING NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES
The scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you recharge nickel­cadmium batteries while they are in the scanner.
To recharge the batteries while they are in the scanner, simply connect an AC or DC adapter into the scanner's CHG jack (see "Using Standard AC Power" or "Using Vehicle Battery Power").
Charging Tips
It takes about 10 to 18 hours to recharge batteries that are fully discharged. You can operate the scanner while recharging nickel-cadmium batteries, but the charging time is lengthened.
Nickel-cadmium batteries last longer and deliver more power if you regularly let them fully discharge. To do this, simply use the scanner until the low battery indicator appears on the display. Then fully charge the batteries.
IMPORTANT: This product is capable of using rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end of the batteries' useful life, they must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might be available are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers, recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs.
Using Standard AC Power
You can power your scanner from a standard AC outlet using an optional AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1665 (not supplied).
WARNING: Do not use an AC adapter's polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
CAUTIONS: The recommended AC adapter supplies 9 volts and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Also, its center tip is set to negative and its plug properly fits the scanner's PWR and CHR jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
Be sure you connect the AC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to a standard AC outlet. Then disconnect the adapter from the AC outlet before you disconnect it from the scanner.
1. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into PWR.
Page 6
NOTE: If you installed rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries in the scanner, remove the cap from the CHG jack and connect the AC adapter to the jack. This powers the scanner and recharges the batteries at the same time (see "Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries").
2. Connect the adapter's power module to a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power your scanner from your vehicle's battery power using an optional DC auto adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560 (not supplied).
CAUTIONS: The scanner is designed to work in a vehicle that has a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system. If you are not sure about your vehicle, check with your vehicle's dealer.
The recommended DC auto adapter supplies 9 volts and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Also, its center tip is set to negative and its plug properly fits the scanner's PWR and CHR jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
To protect your vehicle's electrical system, be sure you connect the adapter to the scanner before you connect it to the cigarette-lighter socket. Then disconnect the adapter from the cigarette-socket before you disconnect it from the scanner.
1. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 9V.
2. Connect the adapter's orange barrel plug to the adapter's cable with the tip set to - (negative).
3. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into PWR.
NOTE: If you installed rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries in the scanner, remove the cap from the CHG jack and connect the DC auto adapter to the jack. This powers the scanner and recharges the batteries at the same time (see "Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries").
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle's cigarette­ lighter socket.
NOTE: If the scanner does not operate properly with a DC auto adapter connected to your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket, you might need to unplug the adapter and clean the socket to remove ashes and other debris.
Preparation
CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNA
1. Connect the supplied flexible antenna's BNC connector to ANT on top of the scanner.
2. Press down and rotate the base of the antenna clockwise until the antenna locks into place.
CONNECTING AN OPTIONAL ANTENNA
Page 7
The supplied antenna is usually adequate for strong local signals. However, for the best results, you can attach a multi-band outdoor antenna (such as Cat. No. 20-013) to the scanner. If the coaxial cable's connector does not fit the ANT jack, you might also need an adapter. Your local Radio Shack store sells a complete line of outdoor antennas, adapters, and connectors.
For the best performance, consider the following when deciding on an outdoor base antenna and its location:
The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.
The antenna and antenna cable should be as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).
The antenna should be vertical.
Mount the antenna following the instructions supplied with the antenna and its mounting hardware. Then route the antenna cable to the scanner, and connect it to ANT on top of the scanner.
CAUTION: Do not route the cable over sharp edges or moving objects.
NOTE: Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna.
For lengths under 50 feet, use RG58 (Cat. No. 278-1314) or RG8/M (Cat. No. 278-1313).
For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8, low-loss coaxial cable (Cat. No. 278-1312).
RESETTING THE SCANNER
When you first install the scanner's batteries, or when they are removed for an extended period of time, the scanner's display might lock-up. If this happens, try resetting the scanner.
CAUTION: Since this procedure clears all the information programmed into the scanner, use it only when you are sure the scanner is not working properly.
Follow these steps to reset the scanner.
1. If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX counterclockwise until it clicks to turn it off.
2. While you hold down both CLEAR and 0, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise until it clicks to turn on the scanner.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can plug an optional earphone (such as Cat. No. 33-175) into the headphone jack on top of your scanner. Connecting an earphone automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
NOTE: In a noisy area, monaural headphones (such as Cat. No. 20-210) might provide more comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.
Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After
Page 8
you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Once 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.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER
In a noisy area, a properly placed external speaker (such as Cat. No. 21-549) or an amplified speaker (such as Cat. No. 21-541) might make listening easier. Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch mini-plug into the scanner's headphone jack.
USING THE BELT CLIP
You can use the belt clip for hands-free carrying when you are on the go. Slide the belt clip over your belt or waistband.

PGM You are storing frequencies into the scanner's channels.
PRI The priority channel function is on.
DLY The scanner is monitoring a channel you pre­ programmed with the delay function.
L/O The scanner is monitoring a channel you locked out of the scan mode.
Lo You are programming the lowest frequency for a limit search.
Hi You are programming the highest frequency for a limit search.
BATTERY-SAVING CIRCUIT
If the scanner does not detect a signal within 5 seconds any time after you manually select a channel or frequency, the scanner enters the battery-saving standby mode.
In the standby mode, the scanner rests for 1 second then checks for a signal for 1/2 second, using only 40 percent of the normal power consumption. The scanner continues this until you press any button or if receives a signal.
UNDERSTANDING MEMORY
You can store up to 210 frequencies into your scanner's memory. You can store each frequency into either a permanent memory, called a channel, or a temporary memory, called a monitor memory. Your scanner has 200 channel memories and 10 monitor memories.
CHANNEL MEMORIES
To make it easier to group and select channels, they are divided into 10 channel-storage banks of 20 channels each.
You can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies by similar organizations (see "Guide to the Action Bands"). For example:
Channels Organization
1-20 Police Department
21-40 Fire Department
41-60 Ambulance Service
61-80 Aircraft
You can also group channels by city or by local area.
MONITOR MEMORIES
The scanner also has 10 monitor memories. Use these memories to temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not to save them in channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when you search through an entire frequency band. You can manually select these memories, but you cannot scan them (see "Searching for and
Page 11
Temporarily Storing Active Frequencies").
Operation
SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH
1. Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise.
2. Turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise to about half way. The scanner turns off.
3. Turn SQUELCH counterclockwise until you hear a hissing noise.
4. Adjust VOLUME OFF/MAX to a comfortable level.
5. Slowly turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing noise stops.
NOTES: If squelch is set too low, the scanner can pick up unwanted or weak transmissions. When this happens, slightly turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to weaker signals.
If squelch is set too high, the scanner might not pick up any transmissions. When this happens, slightly turn SQUELCH counter­ clockwise to increase the scanner's sensitivity.
SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
You can set your scanner to search for:
Transmissions within a limited range of specified frequencies (limit search).
Transmissions starting from a designated frequency (direct search).
When the scanner finds an active frequency, you can quickly store it in one of the 10 monitor memories.
NOTE: Your scanner rounds down the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter 151.473, the scanner accepts it as 151.470.
During a limit search, the scanner searches upward starting from a selected lower frequency limit, or downward starting from a selected upper frequency limit.
1. Press PGM, then LIMIT. Lo appears on the display.
2. Enter the lowest frequency in the desired frequency search range, then press ENTER.
3. Press LIMIT, Hi appears on the display.

4. To stop continuous searching, while UP or DOWN SRCH appears on the display, press UP or DOWN until UP or DOWN disappears.
LISTENING TO A MONITOR MEMORY
To listen to a monitor memory, press MANUAL, MON, then the number key of the desired monitor memory.
NOTE: You cannot scan monitor memories.
STORING FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS
Your scanner has 10 channel storage banks, each with 20 storage areas called channels, where you can permanently store a total of 200 frequencies. You can either move a monitor memory to a channel, or you can manually enter a frequency to store it.
Moving a Frequency from a Monitor Memory to a Channel
Follow these steps to move a monitor memory to a channel.
1. Press MANUAL, enter the channel number you want to store frequency in, then press PGM.
2. Press MON, then enter the number of the monitor memory that has the frequency you want to store into the channel.
3. Press ENTER. The scanner stores the frequency into the selected channel.
Manually Storing Frequencies into Channels
Good reference for active frequencies are Radio Shack's "Police Call Radio 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. See also "Guide to the Action Bands" in the manual.
Follow these steps to manually store a frequency into a channel.
2. Enter a channel number then press PGM. The selected channel number and PGM appear on the display.
3. To enter a frequency, enter the first digits (up to 3), press symbol, enter the last digits (up to 4) then ENTER.
For example, to enter the frequency 166 MHz:
Page 14
You Press You See
MANUAL (NN)CH 000.0000 MAN
8 (NN)CH 8
PGM 8CH 000,0000
[.] 8CH 166.
000 8CH 166.000
ENTER 8CH 166.0000 FM
NOTES: The scanner continuously monitors the most recently stored channel.
ERROR appears on the display when you enter a frequency not with­ in the scanner's bands (see "Specifications"). To erase an error, press CLEAR then repeat Step 3.
4. To program the next channel in sequence, press PGM and repeat Step 3.
NOTE: To change the direction it sequences in, press UP or DOWN before you press PGM.
To program more channels in any sequence, repeat Steps 2 and 3.
SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS
1. Press UP or DOWN to select the scan direction.
NOTE: When you first turn on the scanner, the scan direction is always UP.
2. Press SCAN.
The scanner scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks (see "Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off" and "Locking Out a Channel").
NOTE: If the scanner does not scan, re-adjust SQUELCH.
TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF
A more efficient way to scan is to turn off storage banks you do not want to scan. For example, if you wanted to scan only current police activity, you would not want the scanner to scan, find, and waste time monitoring channels in other banks that did not include police frequencies, Instead, you can turn off the other nine channel-storage banks.
While scanning, press the number key for the bank you want to turn on or off. The bank indicator turns on or off.
If the bank indicator is on, the scanner scans all channels within that bank that are not individually locked out (see "Locking Out a Channel"). If the indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the 20 channels within that bank.
NOTES: You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.
Page 15
You cannot turn off all banks. At least one bank must always be active.
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY
Selecting a Channel
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning. This is useful if you want to hear a broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details (even though there might be periods of silence) or if you want to monitor a locked-out channel (see "Locking Out a Channel").
If the scanner is stopped at a channel you want to continue listening to, quickly press MANUAL once before it continues scanning again.
NOTES: Pressing MANUAL additional times makes the scanner step through the channels.
To change the channel step direction, press UP or DOWN before you press MANUAL additional times.
If the scanner is scanning:
1. Press MANUAL to stop the scanning.
2. Enter the desired channel number
3. Press MANUAL again.
If the scanner is not scanning, enter the desired channel number then press MANUAL.
Selecting a Frequency
You can manually select a desired frequency. This is useful if you want to monitor a frequency you have not stored, or a frequency stored in a locked-out channel (see "Locking Out a Channel").
1. If the scanner is scanning, press MANUAL to stop the scanning.
2. Enter the desired frequency.
3. Press DIRECT. The scanner continuously monitors the selected frequency.
USING PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan through the programmed channels, and still not miss an important or interesting call on a designated channel. To use the priority feature, you need to designate a stored channel first and then turn the priority feature on.
Designating a Channel
1. Press PGM.
2. Enter the desired channel number.
NOTES: You can designate any stored channel as the priority channel, but you can have only one priority channel at a time.
To "undesignate" a priority channel, either designate another
Page 16
channel or turn the priority feature off.
3. Press PRI.
Turning the Priority Feature On/Off
To turn on the priority feature, press PRI during scanning. PRI appears on the display. The scanner checks the priority channel every 2 seconds and stays on the channel if there is activity. P appears to the left of the display whenever the scanner monitors the priority channel.
To turn off the priority feature, press PRI. PRI disappears from the display.
USING DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into a channel or a frequency. When your scanner stops on a channel or frequency with a programmed delay, it continues to monitor it for 2 seconds after every transmission before the scanner resumes scanning or searching.
To program a 2-second delay:
If the scanner is in the scan mode and stopped on the desired channel, quickly press DELAY before it continues scanning again. DLY appears on the display.
If the scanner is not stopped on the desired channel, manually select the desired channel, then press DELAY, DLY appears on the display.
If the scanner is in the search mode, press DELAY. DLY appears on the display and the scanner programs a 2-second delay into all the frequencies it finds.
To turn off the 2-second delay on any channel or frequency, press DELAY while the scanner is monitoring the channel or frequency. DLY disappears from the display.
LOCKING OUT A CHANNEL
You can scan channels faster by locking out specific channels you do not want to monitor, such as a continuously active weather channel.
2. Enter the desired channel number.
3. Press MANUAL again.
4. Press L/OUT so L/O appears on the display.
When it scans, the scanner skips the locked out channel.
NOTES: There must be at least one active channel in each bank. You cannot lock out all channels.
You can still manually select locked-out channels.
To unlock a channel, manually select the channel then press L/OUT so L/O disappears from the display.
Page 17
USING THE LIGHT
While the scanner is on, press LIGHT to light the display for 5 seconds. Press any key other than LIGHT while the backlight is on to keep the display lit for another 5 seconds. To turn off the backlight before it automatically turns off, press LIGHT.
TURNING THE KEY TONE ON/OFF
Each time you press any of the scanner's keys a tone sounds to verify that the scanner has correctly accepted your entry.
To turn the scanner's key tone on or off, first turn off the scanner. Then while you press and hold 2 and ENTER, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise until the display appears.
USING THE KEYLOCK
Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program changes by sliding KEYLOCK to the right.
The only controls that operate in the keylock mode are SCAN, MANUAL, LIGHT, VOLUME, and SQUELCH. When you want to change the scanner's programming, slide KEYLOCK to the left.
CHANGING THE AM/FM/WFM RECEIVE MODE
The scanner scans in the following modes:
AM (amplitude modulation) - Used in aircraft bands and amateur radio band.
FM (narrowband frequency modulation) - Used in action bands such as police, fire, ambulance, amateur radio, etc.
WFM (wideband frequency modulation) - Used in commercial FM broadcasts and television sound.
The scanner is preset to the most common AM/FM/WFM receive mode for each frequency range. The preset modes are:
FREQUENCY BAND (MHz) RECEIVE MODE
30.0000 - 87.4950 FM
87.50000 - 107.9500 WFM
108.0000 - 136.9750 AM
137.0000 - 224.9950 FM
225.0000 - 399.9875 AM
400.0000 - 512.000 FM
760.0000 - 999.9875 FM
The preset mode is correct in most cases. However, some ham radio and military aircraft broadcasts do not operate in the preset mode. If you try to listen to a broadcast when the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode, the broadcast might sound weak or distorted.
Page 18
To change the mode, press AM/FM/WFM. AM, FM, or WFM blinks on the display to indicate that the displayed receive mode has been changed from the preset mode.
NOTES: If you change any frequency band's receive mode during a limit or direct search, the scanner no longer uses any of the preset receive modes. Instead, the scanner searches for frequencies in all the bands in the selected mode.
If you change the band mode to WFM during frequency search, your scanner automatically searches frequencies at 50 kHz steps.
To return to the default settings, press and hold down CLEAR then press AM/FM/WFM.
For more information, see "Specified Intervals" under "A General Guide to Scanning."
A GENERAL GUIDE TO SCANNING
Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is mainly "line-of­sight." This means you usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon.
During the summer months, you might be able to hear stations in the 30-50 MHz range located several hundred or even thousands of miles away. This is because of summer atmosphere conditions. This type of reception is unpredictable but often very interesting!

Birdie Frequencies
Birdie are operating frequencies generated and used inside the scanner's receiver. These operating frequencies could interfere with broadcasts on the same frequencies and make them difficult or impossible to receive.
If you program one of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequency. If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out the birdie. The most common birdies to watch for are:
44.5450 178.1800 267.2750 473.3000 781.2000
84.8800 190.0000 284.1750 474.9000 801.8000

158.2500 267.2625 462.1000 512.0000
To find your specific scanner's birdies, begin by disconnecting the antenna
Page 19
and moving it away from the receiver. Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are tuned on. Use the search function and scan every frequency band from its lowest frequency to the highest. Occasionally, the searching will stop as if it has found a signal, often without any sound. That is a birdie. Make a list of all the birdies in your particular scanner for future reference.
GUIDE TO THE ACTION BANDS

Primary Usage
As a general rule, most of the radio activity is concentrated on the following frequencies:
VHF Band
Activities Frequencies
Government, Police, and Fire 153.785-155.980 MHz Emergency Services 158.730-159.460 MHz
Railroad 160.000-161.900 MHz
UHF Band
Activities Frequencies
Land-Mobile Paired 450.000-470.000 MHz Frequencies
Base Station 451.025-459.950 MHz
Mobile Units 456.025-459.950 MHz
Relay/Repeater Units 460.025-464.975 MHz
Remote/Control Station 465.025-469.975 MHz
NOTE: Base stations and repeater units operate at 5 MHz lower than their associated mobile units and control stations.
Specified Intervals
Frequencies in different bands are accessible only at specific intervals.
For example:
Band Type Specified Interval
VHF (Lo and Hi), HAM, and Government 5.0 or 50.0 kHz steps
All Others 12.5 kHz steps
Aircraft 25.0 kHz steps
FM Broadcast 50.0 kHz steps
NOTE: Your scanner rounds down the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter 151.473, the scanner accepts it as 151.470.
Band Allocation
To help decide which frequency ranges to scan, use the following listing of the typical services that use the frequencies your scanner receives. These frequencies are subject to change, and might vary from area to area.

FREQUENCY CONVERSION
The tuning location of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or MHz) or in wavelength (meters). The following information can help you make the necessary conversions.
1 MHz (million) = 1,000 kHz (thousand)
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply by 1,000:
30.62 MHz x 1000 = 30620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000.
127,800 kHz
----------- = 127.8 MHz 1000
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz.
300
----- = 1.75 meter 171 MHz

Care and Maintenance
The Radio Shack PRO-60 Programming Scanner is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your scanner so you can enjoy it for years.
Page 29
Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the scanner to work improperly.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use a harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the scanner.
Modifying or tampering with your scanner's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the scanner's warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not operating as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

Birdies
Birdies are frequencies your scanner uses when it operates. These operating frequencies might interfere with broadcasts on the same frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequency.
If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out the birdie. The most common birdies to watch for are listed below.
Birdie Frequencies:
31.05 MHz 124.20 MHz
41.40 MHz 134.55 MHz
51.75 MHz 144.90 MHz
113.85 MHz 155.25 MHz
Reception Notes
Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is mainly "line of sight". That means you usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon. During the summer months you may be able to hear stations in the 30-50 MHz range located several hundred or even thousand of miles away. This is because of summer atmospheric conditions. This type of reception is unpredictable but often very interesting!
One very useful service is the National Weather Service's continuous weather broadcast. These broadcasts contain weather forecasts and data for the areas around the station, plus bulletins on any threatening weather conditions. These stations use three frequencies - 162.40,
162.475 or 162.55 MHz. In most areas of the country, you can receive one of these frequencies.
A Guide To The Action Bands
With the right frequencies programmed into your PRO-Series 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 emergency. It could be very dangerous.
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 scanner can give you frequencies used by local radio services.
A volunteer police department or fire department can also be a good source for this information.
As a general rule on VHF, most activity is concentrated between 153.785 and 155.98 MHz and then again from 158.73 to 159.46 MHz. Here you find local government, police, fire and most such emergency services. If you are near a railroad yard or major railroad tracks, look around 160.0 to
161.9 MHz for signals.
In some larger cities, there has been a move to the UHF bands for

emergency service. Here, most of the activity is between 453.025 and
453.95 MHz and between 456.025 and 467.925 MHz.
In the UHF band, frequencies between 456.025 and 459.95 MHz and between
465.025 and 469.975 MHz are used by mobile units and control stations associated with base and repeater units that operate 5 MHz lower (that is,
451.025 to 454.950 and 460.025 to 464.975 MHz). This means that if you find an active frequency inside one of these spreads, you can look 5 MHz lower (or higher) to find the base station/repeater for that service.
Typical Band Usage
The following is a brief listing of the typical services that use the bands you scanner can receive. This listing helps you decide which ranges you would like to scan.
These frequencies are subject to change, and might vary from area to area. For a more complete listing refer to the Police Call Radio Guide available at you local RadioShack store.

Guide To The Action Bands
United States Broadcast Bands
In the United States, there are several broadcast bands. The standard AM and FM bands are probably the most well known. There are also four television audio broadcast bands-the lower three transmit on the VHF band and the fourth transmits on the UHF band.
Frequency Range Allocation
54.0 - 72.0 MHz ........................................... VHF Television
76.0 - 88.0 MHz ........................................... VHF Television

Frequency Conversion
The tuning of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or MHz) or in wavelength (meters). The following information can help you make the necessary conversions.
1 MHz (million)=1,000 kHz (thousand)
Page 40
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply by 1,000:
9.62 MHz x 1000 = 9620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000
2780 kHz / 1000 = 2.780 MHz
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz
300 / 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters
A Note on Image Reception
Radios work by simple mathematics. For example, most tune to a frequency by mixing that frequency with another (local oscillator) frequency which is slightly different. This mixing process primarily gives us the two original frequencies, their sum, and their difference. Well, the radio's Intermediate Frequency (I.F.) filter normally passes either the sum or difference frequency, and this is then processed into the sound we hear. Because nothing is perfect, certain "harmonics" will also get through if they are strong enough. For example, if a radio's I.F. is 10.7 MHz, we might be able to tune to a frequency 21.4 MHz (2 x I.F.) above (or below, depending on the radio's design) a strong signal and hear it! This is more evident in a double-conversion radio than a triple-conversion radio, because the triple-conversion radio's 1st intermediate frequency is quite high. This causes the image to be so far off frequency that it is easy to effectively filter it out.
So remember that just because a radio doesn't receive something which another does is not necessarily an indication of a problem. The one radio may simply not be "tricked" into picking up an image! This rejection of undesired signals is one reason that a triple-conversion receiver costs more than a similar dual-conversion model.
You might be interested in finding more out about radio. One good location to start looking is your local public library. You might also wish to contact the A.R.R.L., as they are an excellent source of informative texts on the subject.
