Simultaneous Trunking Operation – tracks two trunking systems (Motorola and EDACS) and conventional
systems at the same time.
10 Channel-Storage Banks – let you store 30 channels in each bank (300 channels) to group channels so
calls are easier to identify.
10 ID-Storage banks – let you store 1,000 IDs in 10 ID banks, 5 sub-ID banks, 20 IDs are programmed in
each 5 sub-ID banks and let you easy identify the ID code.
12-Character, 4-Line, Dot-Matrix Display – shows you detailed operating information and lets you easily
program the scanner.
Weather Alert – automatically sounds the 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 priority operation.
Digital Weather Alert – displays the weather event text with three alert levels so you can see and hear the
reason for the alert.
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.
Data Cloning – lets you transfer the programmed data to another PRO-2053 or PRO-93 scanner. You can
also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional interface kit.
Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver – virtually eliminates any interference from intermediate
frequency (IF) images, so you hear only the frequency you select.
Hyperscan TM and Hypersearch TM – the scanner scans and searches at up to 60 steps per second, to
help you quickly find interesting 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.
Priority Channel – you can set the scanner to check one channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss
important calls.
Signal Attenuation (Attenuate) – lets you program in your scanner to reduce the scanner’s sensitivity to
strong local signals, to reduce interference or noise caused by these signals.
Text Input – lets you input a text label for each channel, talk group ID, bank, or other memory location so
you can easily know about the transmission you are hearing.
Lock Out Function – lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when
scanning or searching, and skip over IDs when tracking trunked systems.
