Na. 20-301 REALISTIC.INTRODUCTION Your PRO-41 Programmable Scanner lets you hear all the action. This scanner lets you access over 20,000 frequencies that include the police department, fire department, ambulance service, amateur radio, and transportation services. You can store frequencies in your scanner’s 10 channels and you can change your selections 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. Your scanner’s microprocessor also gives your scanner these features: Liquid-Crystal Display—shows the selected channel and frequency. Automatic 3-Second Scan Delay—helps keep you from missing re- plies on a channel while you are scanning. Memory Backup—keeps the channel frequencies stored in your scan- ner’s memory for up to 30 minutes without the batteries. Low Battery Alarm—lets you know when the batteries get low. Your PRO-41 covers all these bands. @ 29-50 MHz (VHF Lo) e 148-174 MHz (VHF Hi) @ 50-54 MHz (6-Meter Ham @ 406-450 MHz (ham radio and Band) government) @ 137-144 MHz (Government) @ 450-470 MHz (UHF Lo) @ 144-148 MHz (2-Meter Ham @ 470-512 MHz (UHF Hi) Band) For yourimportantrecords, please record your scanner’s serial number in the space provided.
