  Bill AriasJul 30, 2025
  If your Radio Shack Scanner is totally inoperative, there are a few potential causes: * **No power:** Ensure the scanner is plugged into a working AC or DC outlet. * **Adapter Issue:** Verify the AC or DC adapter is properly connected by fully inserting the barrel plug into the DC 13.8V jack. * **Scanner Reset:** The scanner might need to be reset or initialized. Refer to the section on resetting/initializing the scanner for instructions.

Why Radio Shack PRO-2067 is on but will not scan?
- D
  Deborah SchultzAug 4, 2025
  If your Radio Shack Scanner turns on but doesn't scan, it could be due to: * An incorrectly adjusted SQUELCH. Adjust the SQUELCH clockwise. * Having only one or no channels stored. Store frequencies into more than one channel.

Why Radio Shack Scanner will not track a trunked system?
- L
  Laura TravisAug 14, 2025
  If your Radio Shack Scanner won't track a trunked system, the transmission might not use a system that your scanner can track. In this case, try scanning another transmission.

What to do if Error appears on Radio Shack Scanner?
- G
  Gregory HopkinsAug 19, 2025
  If 'Error' appears on your Radio Shack Scanner, it indicates a programming error. Reprogram the frequency correctly, making sure to include the decimal point.

How to fix Radio Shack PRO-2067 that locks on frequencies with unclear transmission?
- S
  Shawn HernandezAug 25, 2025
  If your Radio Shack Scanner locks onto frequencies with unclear transmissions in scan mode, it's possible that the programmed frequencies are the same as 'birdie' frequencies. Avoid programming frequencies or only listen to them manually.
