Why is my Radio Shack Scanner poor or has no reception?
Poor or no reception on your Radio Shack Scanner can occur if the batteries are weak or completely discharged. Check the batteries or ensure the AC or DC adapter is properly connected. Also, make sure an antenna is correctly connected to the scanner.
What to do if my Radio Shack PRO-528 is on but will not scan?
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. Another reason could be that only one or no channels are stored. Store frequencies into more than one channel.
What to do if my Radio Shack PRO-528 Scanner is totally inoperative?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is totally inoperative, the cause might be no power. Check the batteries or make sure the AC adapter or DC adapter is connected properly.
Why does my Radio Shack Scanner display dim or sound a tone?
If your Radio Shack Scanner's display dims or it sounds a tone every 15–30 seconds, it could be due to incorrectly installed or weak batteries. Ensure the batteries are installed properly. If using rechargeable batteries, recharge them; if using non-rechargeable batteries, replace them.
What to do if my Radio Shack PRO-528 keypad does not work?
If the keypad on your Radio Shack Scanner isn't working, the keylock function may be activated. To turn off the keylock, press / KEYLOCK until it disappears from the display.
What to do if my Radio Shack PRO-528 is missing replies to conversations?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is missing replies to conversations, it could be because: 1. The system you are trying to track is a Type I system, and the scanner is set to scan Type II systems. Set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies. 2. The selected fleet map is incorrect. Try another preset fleet map or program your own fleet map. 3. Not all of the trunk’s frequencies have been entered. Enter all of the trunk’s frequencies.
What does it mean if 'Error' appears on my Radio Shack Scanner?
If 'Error' appears on your Radio Shack Scanner, it indicates a programming error. Re-enter the frequency correctly, making sure to include the decimal point.
Why does my Radio Shack PRO-528 lock on frequencies that have an unclear transmission?
If your Radio Shack Scanner locks onto frequencies with unclear transmissions, it's possible that the stored frequencies are the same as “birdie” frequencies. Avoid storing these frequencies, or only listen to them manually.
What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner does not track a trunked system?
If your Radio Shack Scanner isn't tracking a trunked system, it might be due to these reasons: 1. The transmission might not use a system that can be tracked by your scanner. Try scanning another transmission. 2. The data frequency is missing. 3. The system you are trying to track is a Type I system, and the scanner is set to scan Type II systems. Set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies.
Why is my Radio Shack PRO-528 Scanner set to receive Type I trunked frequencies, but does not scan them?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is set to receive Type I trunked frequencies but isn't scanning them, the fleet map you have selected or entered might be incorrect. Check the fleet map and correct it if necessary.
