APCO-25 trunking systems, using only the active system control channel.
CTCSS and DCS Subaudible Encoded Squelch Modes – restricts conventional channel reception to
transmissions using specified subaudible CTCSS tone or DCS data code when scanning or parked on a
single channel. Code Search feature instantly displays the tone or code in use. Takes advantage of
subaudible squelch tail elimination turn off codes when they are present.
10 ID List Banks – let you store 1500 IDs in 10 ID banks, each with 5 ID sub-banks. 30 IDs are available in
each ID sub-bank. ID text tags let you easily identify the user of a particular talkgroup ID code.
Weather Priority Alert – while scanning, automatically sounds an alarm tone to advise of hazardous
weather conditions when it detects the alert signal on the local National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) weather channel during WX priority operation.
SAME/FIPS Weather Alert – displays the weather event text for the specific cities or counties you choose
so you can see and hear the reason for the alert.
Data Cloning – lets you transfer the programmed data to another PRO-2096 (and PRO-96) scanner. You
can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit and
application software.
12-Character, 4-Line, Alphanumeric Display – shows you detailed operating information clearly.
Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver – virtually eliminates any interference from intermediate
frequency (IF) images, so you hear only the frequency you select.
Preprogrammed Frequency Ranges – lets you search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges or
within ranges you set, to reduce search time and select interesting frequencies more quickly.
Hyperscan™ and Hypersearch™ – the scanner scans at up to 60 channels per second and searches up to
75 frequencies per second, to help you quickly find transmissions.
Scan Delay – delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel in conventional mode,
so you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel.
Adjustable Trunking Delay – waits for reply activity on a trunking call for the amount of time you specify.
Priority Channel — allows you to configure the scanner to check one channel every 2 seconds so you do
not miss important transmissions.
Attenuator — allows you to set, by channel or globally, a 20 dB attenuator to reduce receiver overload and
interference from nearby strong signals.
