NWR-SAME/Weather Alert — you
can set the scanner to sound an alert
when it receives NOAA’s Specific
Area Message Encoding (SAME) cod-
ed weather emergency signal, provid-
ing more complete information about
weather conditions in your immediate
area and letting you avoid hearing
alerts for geographical areas that do
not interest you.
Remote PC Function — lets you con-
trol the PRO-2052 from your personal
computer.
Five Scan Lists — let you store up to
50 IDs in each tracking bank (up to a
total of 1000).
Triple-Conversion Circuitry — virtu-
ally eliminates any interference from
IF (intermediate frequency) images,
so you hear only the selected frequen-
cy.
Scan Delay — delays scanning for
about 2 seconds before moving to an-
other channel in conventional mode,
so you can hear more replies that are
made on the same channel. In trunk
scanning mode, it delays for about 5
seconds before moving to another ID.
Lock-Out Function — lets you set
your scanner to skip over specified
channels or frequencies when scan-
ning or searching, and skip over IDs
when tracking trunked systems.
Priority Channels — lets you pro-
gram one channel in each bank (10 in
all). As the scanner scans a bank, it
checks the bank’s priority channel ev-
ery 2 seconds so you don't miss trans-
missions on that channel.
Five Service-Search Banks — let
you search preset frequencies in sep-
arate public service, police, fire/emer-
gency, aircraft, and weather banks, to
make it easy to locate specific types of
calls.

and HyperScan

—
let you set the scanner to search at up
to 300 steps per second (in frequency
bands with 5 kHz steps) and scan at
up to 50 channels per second, to help
you quickly find interesting broad-
casts. (The normal search speed is
100 steps per second).
Data Signal Skip — lets you set the
scanner to skip non-modulated or data
signals during scanning and searches.
This lets the scanner avoid non-voice
signals, making a scan or search fast-
er.
Manual Access — you can directly
access any stored channel by entering
that channel’s number.
Liquid-Crystal Display — makes it
easy to view and change program-
ming information.
Display Backlight — makes the
scanner easy to read in low-light situa-
tions.
