Weather Alert — the scanner automatically sounds an alert when it receives a weather
emergency signal, providing more complete information about weather conditions in your
immediate area.
Wired Programming — you can connect your scanner to a personal computer and
program frequencies into it using an optional cable and software.
Note: You can get the cable, software, and additional information about using your
personal computer to program your scanner from your local RadioShack store.
Special Function — lets you easy scan the fire/police, air, or ham channel banks.
Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so
you can hear more replies that are transmitted on the same channel.
Priority Channel — lets you program a channel as the priority channel. As the scanner
scans, it checks the priority channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss transmissions on
that channel.
HyperSearch and HyperScan — let you set the scanner to search at up to 50 steps
per second (in frequency bands with 5 kHz steps) and scan at up to 25 channels per
second, to help you quickly find interesting broadcasts.
Manual Access — you can directly access any stored channel by entering that channel’s
number.
Key Lock — lets you lock the scanner’s keys to help prevent accidentally changing the
scanner’s programming.
Liquid-Crystal Display — makes it easy to view and change programming information.
Supplied Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector — provides good reception of strong
local signals. You can connect an external antenna with a BNC connector to the scanner
for improved reception of distant/weaker signals.
Key Confirmation Tones — the scanner sounds a confirmation tone when you perform an
operation correctly, and an error tone if you make an error.
Three Power Options — you can power the scanner from internal (rechargeable or non-
rechargeable batteries) or external AC or DC power (using an optional AC or DC adapter).
