To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Radio Shack PRO-136 is on but not scanning?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is on but not scanning, it might be due to the SQUELCH not being adjusted correctly. Try adjusting the SQUELCH. Also, ensure you have frequencies stored in more than one channel, as the scanner may not scan if only one or no channels are stored.
Why is my Radio Shack PRO-136 reception poor?
Poor or no reception on your Radio Shack Scanner can be due to a loose antenna. Ensure an antenna is securely connected to the scanner. Alternatively, the scanner might be receiving interference or electrical noise. Try moving the scanner or its antenna away from the source of interference and change the height or angle of the antenna.
How to fix 'Error' on Radio Shack PRO-136?
If an 'Error' appears on your Radio Shack Scanner, it indicates a programming error. Re-enter the frequency correctly, making sure to include the decimal point.
What to do if the light is flashing on my Radio Shack Scanner?
If the light is flashing on your Radio Shack Scanner, it means the batteries are low. Replace them to resolve the issue.
What does it mean when my Radio Shack Scanner shows (not flashing)?
