You'll hear all the action with your new
~W=LIS~=!
PRO-30 Programmable Scanning Receiver! You'll have direct access to 23,684
different frequencies in nine action radio bands-police, fire, ambulance, aircraft, ham radio, and transportation services! And you can
program your PRO-30 to scan up to 16 channels so you won't miss
any of the excitement.
The secret to the PRO-30
is
a custom-designed microprocessor-a
computer on
a
chip! The front panel keyboard lets you easily enter
and change frequencies whenever you wish. The microprocessor also
gives you special functions not found on other scanning receivers.
Curious about what's on the air in your area? The PRO-30 will automatically search for active stations in frequency ranges of your choice;
you can locate new stations and services easily! And if there's
a
frequency you're especially interested in, the PR lority key will make
sure you never miss
a
call on
it.
You can listen or scan other channels
and your PRO-30 will automatically switch to the PR
I0 R ITY channel
when
a
call
is
received on it!
Other features you'll appreciate include Lockout to skip over
channels during scanning and
fastlslow search and scanning rates.
Your PRO-30 achieves
its
superior performance through the use of
the very latest in solid-state technology. In addition to the micro-
processor, the PRO-30 includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) IC,
4
C-MOS ICs including microprocessor,
5
integated circuits, 39 transis-
tors, 75 diodes and
a
Liquid Crystal Display.
