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 Frequencies 450.000 - 470.000 MHz

Base Stations 451.025 - 454.950 MHz Mobile Units 456.025 - 459.950 MHz Relay Repeater Units 460.025 - 464.975 MHz Remote Control Stations 465.025 - 469.975 MHz

NOTE: Remote control stations and mobile units operate at 5 MHz higher than their associated base stations and relay repeater units.

FREQUENCY CONVERSION

The tuning location of a station can be expre ssed 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. (9.62 MHz x 1000 = 9620 kHz)

To convert from kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000. (2780 kHz divided by 1000 = 2.780 MHz)

To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz. (300 divided by 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters)

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 16918

The Radio Shack PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the scanner so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the l ife of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases, and can cause the scanner to work improperly.

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 harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it.

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. If the scanner is not operating as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Connecting Optional Equipment Faxback Doc. # 16912

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER

You can connect an optional external speaker with a 1/8 -inch plug to the scanner. Use an 8-ohm external speaker capable of handling over 2.5 watts of power (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 21 -549).

Insert the speaker's plug into the EXT SPKR jack on the back of the scanner.

NOTE: Plugging in an external speaker disconnects the scanner's internal speaker.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES

You can connect an optional pair of headphones with a 1/8 -inch plug to the scanner. Use monaural headphones (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 20 -210).

Insert the headphones' plug into the headphone jack on the front of the scanner.

NOTE: Plugging in headphones disconnects the scanner's internal speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

Set OFF/VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you put on the headphones, adjust OFF/VOLUME to a comfortable level.

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high -volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

Once you set OFF/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.

CONNECTING A TAPE RECORDER

You can connect an optional tape recorder to your scanner to record transmissions. To record from the scanner, you need a tape recorder with a microphone jack (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 14 -1151). Also, you need a connecting cable with a phono plug and a 1/8 -inch plug (such as Cat. no. 42-2461).

1. Insert the connecting cable's phono plug into the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner.

2. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to your tape recorder's microphone jack.

Follow the instructions provided with your tape recorder to record transmissions while the scanner is on.

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Features Faxback Doc. # 16908

The Radio Shack PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner lets you in on all the action! With its convenient rotary tuner and keypad, you can quickly tune to over 196,000 frequencies that include those used by police and fire departments, ambulance services, aircraft communications, amateur radio services, transportation services, Citizen's Band and commercial FM and television broadcasters. You can select up to 1,000 channels to scan and you can change your selections at any time.

The secret to the scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is its custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in computer.

The scanner has all these special features.

Hyperscan - lets you scan and search up to 50 channels or steps per second.

Weather Band Key - scans ten pre-programmed weather frequencies to keep informed about current weather conditions.

Ten Channel-Storage Banks - you can store 100 channels in each bank to group channels so calls are easier to identify.

Monitor Memory - temporarily saves up to 100 frequencies located during a frequency search, letting you move selected frequencies to permanent channel storage later.

Priority Channel - you can set the scanner to check every 2 seconds so you do not miss important calls.

Auto Store - quickly finds and automatically stores active frequ encies in channels, then searches for additional active frequencies while skipping previously stored channels.

TAPE OUT Jack - lets you connect an optional tape recorder to the scanner to record transmissions.

Rotary Tuner - lets you manually tune and select desired frequencies or channels.

Two-Second Channel Scan Delay - delays scanning for 2 seconds before moving to another channel so you can hear more replies.

Memory Backup - keeps channel frequencies stored in memory for up to 3 mon ths during a power loss.

Lock-Out Function - keeps selected channels from being scanned, so you can skip over busy channels.

Direct Frequency Search - lets you scan for new and unlisted frequencies.

Sound Squelch - keeps the scanner from stopping on frequencies with only a carrier signal and

no voice or other sound, so you can hear calls instead of static.

Backlit Display - makes it easy to view and change programming information.

Two Power Options - let you power the scanner from standard AC power (with the supplied AC power cord), or your vehicle's battery (with an optional DC cigarette lighter power cord).

The PRO-2035 scanner can receive all of these bands:

25-28 MHz (HF Hi) 28-29.7 MHz (10-Meter Amateur Radio)

Reception Notes

Reception of the frequencies covered by yo ur 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 ther e. 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 conce ntrated 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 an d 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.

Frequency Conversion

The tuning of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz o r 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:

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 intermedia te 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 rad io. 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.

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Hints and Tips Faxback Doc. # 16588

Q: In Auto Storing, this Scanner keeps storing the same frequency over and over again. In the Owner's Manual under Features, it is stated that Auto Store will scan and store the frequency. If t he same frequency comes up again, it checks the frequency and if it is the same frequency, it skips it. But under Operation of Auto Storing. it does not state that it will skip a frequency if it is already stored.

A: This is a known problem with this scanner. The PRO-0464 (200-0464) Scanner was introduced to replace the PRO -2035 Scanner.

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Listening to the Weather Band Faxback Doc. # 16914

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these channels. We have preprogrammed the scanner wi th ten of the U.S. frequencies available to NOAA.

To scan the preprogrammed weather channels, press WEATHER, the press the UP or DOWN ARROW.

To manually tune through the preprogrammed weather channels, repeatedly press WEATHER or turn TUNING.

NOTE: For a list of all 11 national weather frequencies, see "National Weather Frequencies."

BAND MODE AND FREQUENCY STEP

The scanner scans in the following band modes:

AM (amplitude modulation) - used in aircraft bands and Citizen's Band.

NFM (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.

This table shows the preset band modes an d frequency steps your scanner uses for each frequency range.

Frequency Rand (MHz) Band Mode Frequency Step (kHz)

25.000 - 29.995 AM 5

30.000 - 87.495 NFM 5

87.500 - 107.950 WFM 50

108.000 - 136.9875 AM 12.5

137.000 - 224.995 NFM 5

225.000 - 400.000 AM 12.5

400.0125 - 520.000 NFM 12.5

760.000 - 1300.000 NFM 12.5

If you scan some of the 225-400 MHz and TV audio bands, you might have to manually change the band mode or frequency step.

Changing/Resetting the Band Mode

To change the displayed band mode while a frequency appears, press MODE until the desired band mode appears. The band mode flashes anytime it is different from the preset band mode. To reset the displayed band mode to its preset, press RESET.

NOTES: You cannot change the band mode unless it appears on the display.

Keep in mind that improperly changing the band mode can cause poor reception. For example, the sound is distorted when you listen to an FM broadcast or TV audio in the NFM mode or to a police broadcast in the WFM mode.

Changing/Resetting the Frequency Step

The scanner scans at a preset frequency step (5, 12.5, or 50 kHz) for each frequency range. However, if you scan some of the 225 -400 MHz and TV audio bands, you might have to manually change the frequency step.

You can change the displayed frequency step while searching for frequencies or automatically storing frequencies.

Follow these steps to change the displayed frequency step.

1. Display the frequency step or frequency range which uses the frequency step.

2. Press STEP until the desired frequency step appears.

The frequency step flashes anytime it is different from the preset frequency step.

To change the displayed frequency step back to its preset value, press RESET.

NOTES: You cannot change the frequency step unless it appears on the display.

Keep in mind that improperly changing the frequency step can cause you to miss stations while scann ing. For example, if you use a 50 kHz frequency step to search for broadcasts, and the band mode is set to NFM, you might miss frequencies between the 50 kHz steps.

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Operation -Part 1 Faxback Doc. # 16910

CONNECTING POWER

Plug the scanner's attached AC power cord into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, the plug's blades are polarized and fit only one way. If the plug does not fit easily, turn it over and try again. Do not force the plug into the AC outlet.

The memory backup circuit begins to function a few minutes after you supply power to the scanner. The length of time that the scanner maintains channels stored in memory depends on how long power has been supplied to the scanner. For example, if power is supplied to the scanner for at least 4 days, the memory backup circuit maintains the channels stored in memory for up to 3 months.

Using Your Vehicle's Battery

If your AC power does not work in an emergency, you can power your scanner from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket with an optional DC cigarette lighter power cable such as Cat. No. 270 -1533 (not supplied).

To connect an optional DC cigarette li ghter power cable, insert its barrel plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner, then plug the power cable into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.

CAUTIONS: The scanner can work in a vehicle that has a 12 -volt, negative ground electrical system. Most vehicles have this type of system. If you are not sure about your vehicle, check with your vehicle's dealer

If you use a DC cigarette lighter power cable with the scanner, it must supply 12 volts and deliver at least 1 amp. Its center tip must be set to positive, and its plug must correctly fit the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner. The recommended power cable meets these specifications. U sing a power cable that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage the scanner or the power cable.

NOTE: Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit in some areas. Check the laws in your area.

RESTARTING/RESETTING THE SCANNER

If the scanner's display locks up or the scanner does not work properly after you connect power, you might have to restart or reset the scanner.

Restarting the scanner clears and resets the scanner's display, but does not erase any channel information stored in the scanner's memory. Follow these steps to restart the scanner.

1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.

2. Insert a pointed object such as a straightened paper clip into the RESTART hole on the back of the scanner for about 2 seconds.

If the scanner still does not work properly, you might have to reset it.

CAUTION: This procedure clears all the information you have programmed

UNDERSTANDING BANKS

You can store frequencies into either a permanent memory location called a channel, or a temporary memory location called a monitor memory. You can store up to 1,000 channels and up to 100 monitor mem ories.

CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into 10 channel -storage banks (1-10) of 100 channels each. You can use each channel -storage to group frequencies, such as those used by the police department, fire department, ambulance services, and aircraft (see "Guide to the Action Bands").

For example, there might be three or four police departments in your area, each using several different frequencies. Additionally, there might be other law enforcement agencies such as state police, county sheriffs, or SWAT teams that use their own frequencies. You can program all law enforcement frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in Bank

1), then program the fire department, paramedic, and other public safety frequencies starting with Channel 101 (the first channel in Bank 2).

MONITOR MEMORIES

TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH

1. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise.

2. Turn VOLUME clockwise until you hear a hissing sound.

3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops.

NOTE: If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner 's sensitivity to these signals. If you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.

TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF

When you turn on the scanner the first time, the scanner scans all ten channel-storage banks. As the scanner scans a bank, the bar under the bank's number flashes.

To turn off banks while scanning, press the bank's number key until the bar under the bank's number disappears. The scanner does not scan any of the stored channels within banks you have turned off.

NOTES: You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank.

You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.

The normal way to search is between two frequency points. Enter PRO GRAM, LIMIT and the display will show the current "Lo" frequency limit. If you want to change it, enter the frequency (146,000 for example) and hit ENTER. Press LIMIT again to see the "Hi" frequency limit. To change it enter the frequency (148,000 for example) and hit ENTER. To begin the search hit the / \ to scan up or \/ to scan down. Unit will scan between 146,000 and 148,000 in example above.

To turn on banks while scanning, press the bank's number key until a bar

appears under the bank's number.

SPECIAL FEATURES

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several seconds between a query and a reply. The scanner's delay feature lets it wait for 2 seconds after each transmission on a channel or frequ ency while scanning or searching.

To program a 2-second delay for a channel while scanning, manually select the channel and press DELAY until DELAY appears. When the scanner stops on the channel, it waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that cha nnel before it resumes scanning.

To program a 2-second delay for any active frequency while searching, press DELAY until DELAY appears. When the scanner stops on a transmission, it waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that frequency before it resumes searching.

USING THE ATT SWITCH

To reduce interference or noise caused by signals from a strong local broadcaster, you can reduce the scanner's sensitivity to signals by setting the ATT (attenuate) switch on the back of the scanner.

Switch ATT to 10dB to reduce the scanner's sensitivity, or 0dB to increase the scanner's sensitivity.

NOTE: If you switch ATT to 10dB, the scanner might not receive weak signals.

USING THE SOUND SQUELCH SWITCH

You can have the scanner skip frequencies that b roadcast only a carrier signal (without an accompanying modulated signal) by setting the SOUND SQUELCH switch on the front of the scanner. When SOUND SQUELCH is turned on, the scanner continues scanning if it does not detect a modulated signal on a frequency within 0.5 seconds.

NOTES: This feature works only while the scanner is scanning, searching, or monitoring the priority channel.

The sound squelch feature might not work properly if the monitored frequency contains a transmis sion with a low modulated signal.

To set sound squelch, press SOUND SQUELCH until the scanner beeps and the SOUND SQUELCH indicator turns on. To turn off sound squelch, press SOUND SQUELCH again.

If the scanner receives a frequency that broadcasts both a carrier and a modulated signal, it stops scanning and monitors the frequency. If the modulated signal stops being broadcast on the frequency, the scanner stays on the frequency for 5 seconds, then resumes scanning. If the carrier signal stops being broadcast on the frequency, the scanner resumes scanning immediately unless DELAY is set.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS

You can scan existing channels faster by locking out channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.

To lock out a channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the scanner stops on the channel. To lock out a channel manually, manually select the channel and press L/OUT until LOCK-OUT shows on the display.

To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel and p ress L/OUT until LOCK-OUT disappears from the display.

NOTES: You can delete the frequencies stored in locked -out channels within a bank. See "Deleting Frequencies from Locked -Out Channels within a Bank."

You can still manually select locked-out channels.

You cannot lock out all channels. There must be at least one active channel in each bank.

Reviewing Locked-Out Channels

To review which channels are locked out, press MANUAL, then repeatedly press L/O RVW. As you press L/O RVW, the scanner displays all locked -out channels.

PRIORITY

With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels and still not miss an important or interesting call on a specific channel. You can program one stored channel as a priority channel.

NOTE: Before you first program the scanner, it automatically designates Channel 1 in Bank 1 as the priority channel.

Follow these steps to program a channel as the priority channel.

1. Press PROGRAM.

2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to program as the priority channel, then press PRIORITY. P appears on the display to the left of the channel number.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY during scanning. The scanner checks the priority channel every 2 seconds. It stays on the channel if there is activity, and PRIORITY appears.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY. PRIORITY disappears from the display.

MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency 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.

Follow these steps to manually select a channel.

1. Press MANUAL.

2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to hear, then

press MANUAL.

NOTES: If the scanner is scanning and stops at the channel you want, you do not have to press MANUAL again in Step 2.

If you repeatedly press MANUAL, the scanner steps through the channels. To change the step direction, press either the UP or DOWN ARROW before you press MANUAL.

PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner (200-0460) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 16909

This scanner is primarily designed for use in the home as a base station. You can place it on a desk, shelf, or table.

The scanner's front feet fold up or down. Adjust them to give you the best view of the display.

CONNECTING AN ANTENNA

The supplied telescoping antenna helps the scanner receive strong local signals. To install the antenna, screw it clockwise into the hole on the scanner's top.

The scanner's sensitivity depends on the antenna's length and various environmental conditions. For the best reception of the transmissions you want to hear, adjust the antenna's length.

Frequency Antenna Length

25-300 MHz Extend fully 300-520 MHz Extend three segments 520-760 MHz Extend two segments 760-1300 MHz Collapse all segments

Instead of the supplied antenna, you can connect an outdoor base antenna (not supplied) to the scanner. Your local Radio Shack store sells a variety of antennas. Choose the one that best meets your needs.

When deciding on an outdoor base antenna and its location, consider the following:

The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.

The antenna and antenna cable should be as far as possible from sources of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).

The antenna should be vertical for the best performance.

To connect an optional antenna, always use 50 -ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG -8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If the coaxial cable's connector does not fit in the ANT jack, you might also need a PL-259-to-BNC antenna plug adapter, such as Cat. No. 278-120. Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide variety of coaxial antenna cable and connectors.

Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna. Then route the antenna cable to the scanner, and connect it to the ANT jack on the back of the scanner.

CAUTION: Do not run the cable over sharp edges or moving objects.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when you install or remove 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, 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.
