What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner is on but will not scan?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is on but not scanning, the SQUELCH might not be correctly adjusted. Try adjusting the SQUELCH clockwise. Another possible cause is that only one or no channels are stored. Store frequencies into more than one channel.
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 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.
