Why won't my Radio Shack Scanner acquire a data channel?
If your Radio Shack Scanner doesn't acquire a data channel, it could be due to: 1. SQUELCH is not correctly adjusted for trunk scanning. Adjust squelch for trunk scanning. 2. The frequency used for the data channel is missing.
Why are channel activity bars flashing but no sound is heard on my Radio Shack PRO-528 Scanner?
If the channel activity bars are flashing but you hear no sound on your Radio Shack Scanner: 1. The transmission might be a private or telephone interconnect call. The scanner does not scan these types of transmissions. Scan for another transmission. 2. The ID shown is not active. Wait for the ID to become active, or scan another transmission.
