Why is my Radio Shack Scanner not acquiring a data channel?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is not acquiring a data channel, the squelch might not be correctly adjusted. Another possible cause is that the frequency used for the data channel is missing, so you should add the frequency used for the data channel to the frequency list.
What to do if Radio Shack Scanner will not track a trunked system?
If your Radio Shack Scanner will not track a trunked system, the transmission might not use a system that can be tracked by your scanner, so you can try to scan another transmission. Another possible cause is that the data frequency is missing. In this case, find the data frequency.
What to do if Radio Shack PRO-2052 will not track a trunked system and is set to scan Type II systems?
If your Radio Shack Scanner will not track a trunked system and is set to scan Type II systems, and the system you are trying to track is a Type I System, set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies.
How to fix a Radio Shack Scanner that is on but not scanning?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is on but not scanning, first, ensure the SQUELCH is correctly adjusted by turning it clockwise. If the issue persists, check if you have stored frequencies into more than one channel; if not, store frequencies into multiple channels.
What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner is totally inoperative?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is totally inoperative, verify that it's properly plugged into a working AC or DC outlet. Ensure the adapter’s barrel plug is fully inserted into the DC 12V jack. If the problem persists, the scanner might need to be reset.
Why am I missing replies to conversations on my Radio Shack Scanner?
If you are missing replies to conversations on your Radio Shack Scanner, it could be due to several reasons. The system you're trying to track might be a Type I system while the scanner is set to scan Type II systems, so set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies. The selected fleet map might be incorrect, so try another preset fleet map or program your own. Also, ensure that all of the trunk’s frequencies have been entered.
What to do if my Radio Shack PRO-2052 will not stop while scanning a scan list?
If your Radio Shack Scanner will not stop while scanning a scan list, the IDs you have stored are not active. Scan another transmission.
What does 'Error' mean on my Radio Shack PRO-2052 Scanner?
If 'Error' appears on your Radio Shack Scanner, it indicates a programming error. Reprogram the frequency correctly, including the decimal point.
Why is my Radio Shack Scanner showing poor or no reception?
If your Radio Shack Scanner has poor or no reception, make sure an antenna is connected to the scanner.
Why is there no sound on my Radio Shack Scanner even though the channel activity indicators are lighting up?
If channel activity indicators are lighting but no sound is heard on your Radio Shack Scanner, the transmission might be a private or telephone interconnect call, which the scanner does not scan. Try scanning for another transmission. Alternatively, the ID might be locked out, so unlock the ID.
