Is it illegal to have a police scanner?

The answer to this can depend a lot on where you have the scanner and what you are using it for. Different counties and states and countries differ on how and where and even if it is legal to have a radio scanner.

There are some set provisions that are set forth in the US.

Some areas of the states may have restrictions such as if you have a scanner in your vehicle you are required to have permit. Other areas may not allow people that do not have a direct need for such equipment to not drive around with it.

Some things that are illegal in the states include listening to a telephone conversation whether it is a cellular phone or a cordless or listening to scrambled or encrypted communications.

Have a police scanner and the 400 channels have a lot of static what can you do Do I need to buy a digital scanner?

You can try turning your squelch up. This will filter some of the static out. You can also program your scanner to only pick up channels that are relatively close to you. This will stop a lot of the static too.

What is the scientific name for wheat straw?

What is the difference in the usefulness of upper-sideband and lower sideband transmission?

There's no difference in their usefulness, and no basis for any preference on

the part of the transmitting party. There's an advantage to the receiving party,

however, if he can coordinate with the transmitting party. The advantage of

having a choice is that you can choose whichever mode encounters less

interference, and you can switch 'on the fly' if the congestion/interference

environment changes.

Upper sideband may be somewhat more difficult to receive clearly. This isn't a

technical issue, though. It's just sometimes harder for the operator behind the

tuning knob to tune it clearly, and slightly-mistuned upper sideband is harder to

understand than slightly-mistuned lower sideband is, because the frequencies

in the voice are inverted relative to each other.

How do you program pro 2066 radio shack scanner?

PRO-2066 150-Channel Mobile Trunking Scanner

(200-0195) Operation Faxback Doc. # 49850 TURNING ON THE SCANNER AND SETTING SQUELCH Note: Make sure the scanner's antenna is connected before you turn it on. 1. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise. 2. Turn VOLUME/OFF clockwise until it clicks and you hear a hissing

sound. 3. Press MANUAL to stop the scanner from scanning, turn SQUELCH

clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound

stops. STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS Good references for active frequencies are RadioShack's "Beyond Police

Call," "Aeronautical Frequency Directory," and "Maritime Frequency

Directory." We update these directories every year, so be sure to get a

current copy. Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels. 1. Press MANUAL, enter the channel number where you want to store a

frequency, then press PROGRAM. The channel number appears. 2. Use the number keys and (.) to enter the frequency (including the

decimal point) you want to store. 3. Press E to store the frequency into the channel. Notes: If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 2, Error appears and

the scanner beeps three times. Simply enter the frequency again. Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the

nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of

151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.475. Press DELAY if you want the scanner to pause 2 seconds after a

transmission ends before it proceeds to the next channel (see

"Delay" in Faxback Doc. # 49851). The scanner also stores this

setting in the channel. 4. If you want to program the next channel in sequence, press PROGRAM and

repeat Steps 2 and 3. SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, use a limit,

direct or service search to find a transmission. Also see "Guide to the

Action Bands" in Faxback Doc. # 17653. Notes: While doing a limit, direct, or service bank search, you can

press: DELAY if you want the scanner to pause 2 seconds after a

transmission ends before it proceeds to the next frequency (see

"Delay" in Faxback Doc. # 49851). DATA if you want the scanner to skip data signals (such as fax

or modem signals) and search only for audio (voice) signals (see

"Skipping Data Signals" in Faxback Doc. # 49851). Limit Search A limit search lets you search within a specific range of frequencies.

-L- appears during a limit search. 1. Press PROGRAM, then LIMIT. Lo and 26.965 MHz appear. 2. Enter the frequency that is the lower limit of the range you want to

search (including the decimal point), then press E. 3. Press LIMIT. Hi and 956.000 MHz appear. 4. Enter the frequency that is the upper limit of the range you want to

search (including the decimal point), then press E again. 5. Press \/ to search from the upper to the lower limit, or /\ to search

from the lower to the upper limit. 6. When the scanner stops on a transmission, quickly press either: HOLD to stop searching so you can listen to the transmission. HOLD

appears. MON to store the displayed frequency into the current monitor memory. To release hold and continue searching, press HOLD or hold down \/ or

/\ for at least 1 second. Or, if you did not press HOLD, simply press

\/ or /\ to continue searching. Note: To step through the frequencies while HOLD is displayed, press

\/ or /\. Direct Search Direct search lets you search up or down from the currently displayed

frequency. 1. Press MANUAL. 2. Use the number keys to enter the frequency you want to start the

search from. Press (.) to enter a decimal point. Notes: If you want to start the search from a frequency already

stored in one of your scanner's channels, press MANUAL or

PROGRAM, use the number keys to enter the channel number,

then press MANUAL or PROGRAM again. If you enter an invalid frequency the scanner displays Error.

Simply repeat this step. 3. Press \/ to search downward or /\ to search upward from the selected

frequency. -d-, SEARCH, and \/ or /\ appear. 4. When the scanner stops on a transmission, quickly press either: HOLD to stop searching so you can listen to the transmission. HOLD

appears. MON to store the displayed frequency into the current monitor

memory. To release hold and continue searching, press HOLD or hold down \/ or

/\ for at least 1 second. Or, if you did not press HOLD, simply press

\/ or /\ to continue searching. Note: To step through the frequencies while HOLD is displayed, press

\/ or /\. Service Bank Search You can search for weather, CB, highway, public, ham, marine, aircraft,

police (fire/emergency), or Department of Transportation transmissions

even if you do not know the specific frequencies being used in your area.

The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to these

services. To use this feature, press SVC. All the service indicators

flash on the display. To select a service bank, press the desired service

bank key (WX, CB, HW, PS, HAM, MRN, AIR, POL, or DOT). The corresponding

service band indicator and frequency appears, and the scanner starts

searching the band. When the scanner stops on a transmission, quickly press either: HOLD to stop searching so you can listen to the transmission. HOLD

appears. MON to store the displayed frequency into the current monitor memory. To release hold and continue searching, press HOLD or hold down \/ or /\

for at least 1 second. Or, if you did not press HOLD, simply press \/ or

/\ to continue searching. Note: Because there are many different frequencies allocated to fire and

police departments, it takes several minutes to search all these

frequencies. Search Skip Memory You can skip up to 20 specified frequencies during a service bank search.

This lets you avoid unwanted frequencies or ones you have already stored

in a channel. To skip a frequency press S/S when the scanner stops on the frequency

during a limit, direct, or service search. The scanner stores the

frequency in memory and automatically resumes the search. To clear a single frequency from skip memory so the scanner once again

stops on it during a limit, direct, or service bank search: 1. Press HOLD to hold the search. 2. Press \/ or /\ to select the frequency. L/O appears. 3. Press S/S. L/O disappears. To clear all the skip frequencies at once while searching, press HOLD,

then hold down S/S until the scanner beeps twice (about 3 seconds) Notes: If you marked all frequencies to be skipped within the search

range, the scanner beeps 3 times and does not search. If you program more than 20 frequencies to skip, each new

frequency replaces one you already stored, starting from the first

frequency you stored. Press \/ or /\ to select a skipped frequency while HOLD appears.

L/O appears when you select a skipped frequency. LISTENING TO THE MONITOR MEMORIES You can listen to the frequency you stored in any one of the five monitor

memories by pressing MANUAL, MON, then the number (1-5) of the monitor

memory you want to listen to. Note: To listen to the monitor memories, the priority channel feature

must be turned off (see "Priority" in Faxback Doc. # 49851). MOVING A FREQUENCY FROM A MONITOR MEMORY TO A CHANNEL 1. Press MANUAL. MAN appears. 2. Enter the number of the channel where you want to store the frequency

in a monitor memory, then press PROGRAM. PGM appears. 3. Press MON and enter the number of the monitor memory that contains the

frequency you want to store. 4. Press E. The scanner stores the frequency into the selected channel. SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS To begin scanning channels, press SCAN. The scanner scans through all

non-locked channels in the activated banks. (See "Locking Out Channels"

in Faxback Doc. # 49851 and "Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off" in

Faxback Doc. # 49851.) When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on

it. When the transmission ends the scanner resumes scanning. Notes: If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner

does not scan. 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. If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the

scanner does not scan properly. To scan in the trunk tracking mode, see "Scanning a Trunked Bank"

in Faxback Doc. # 49852. MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL You can continuously monitor a single 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 specific channel. Follow these steps to manually select a channel. 1. Press MANUAL. 2. Enter the channel number. 3. Press MANUAL again. Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press

MANUAL one time. (Pressing MANUAL additional times causes your scanner to

step through the channels.) To resume automatic scanning, press SCAN. (BR/eb 9/22/98) Privacy Policy
