You'll hear all the action with your new
grammable 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.
