PRO-2037 Programmable Scanner
(200-0461) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 37889
This scanner is primarily designed for use in the home as a base station.
You can place it on a desk, shelf, or table.
Your scanner's front feet fold up or down. Adjust them to give you the
best view of the display.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
To attach the supplied telescoping antenna, simply screw it clockwise into
the hole on the scanner's top.
The scanner's sensitivity depends on the antenna's length and various
environmental conditions. For the best reception of the transmissions you
want to hear, adjust the antenna length.
Frequency Antenna Length
30-174 MHz extend fully
380-512 MHz extend 2 segments
806-960 MHz collapse fully
(1 segment only)
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The telescoping antenna is adequate for strong local signals. But, for
improved reception, you can connect a multi-band outdoor antenna
(not supplied) to the scanner. Your local Radio Shack store sells a
variety of antennas. Choose the one that best meets your needs.
When deciding on an outdoor base antenna and its location, consider the
following:
The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.
The antenna and antenna cable should be as far as possible from
sources of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).
The antenna should be vertical for the best performance.
To connect an Optional antenna, always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such
as RG-58 or RG-8. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss
dielectric coaxial cable. If the coaxial cable's connector does not
fit in the ANT jack, you might also need a PL-259-to-BNC antenna plug
adapter, such as Cat. No. 278-120. Your local Radio Shack store
carries a wide variety of coaxial antenna cable and connectors.
Caution:
Do not run the cable over sharp edges or moving objects.
Warning:
Use extreme caution when you install or remove an outdoor antenna.
If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead
power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact with the
antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death.
Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so
yourself.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your scanner from either of these sources:
