PRO-42  (200-0302)           Features                   Faxback Doc. # 8449

Your new Realistic PRO-42 Programmable Scanner lets you in on all the
action!  This scanner gives you direct access to more than 22,000
frequencies that include police, ambulance, ham radio, and transportation
services.  You select up to ten channels for your PRO 42 to scan through,
and you can change your selection at any time.

The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is its
custom-designed microprocessor-a tiny built-in computer.  The
microprocessor also gives your scanner these special features:

Front Panel Keyboard-lets you easily enter and change frequencies whenever
you want. 

Liquid Crystal Display-shows the channel number, the frequency you have
selected, and several other indicators.

2-Second Scan Delay-helps you keep from missing replies on a channel while
you are scanning. 

Memory Backup-keeps the channel frequencies stored in your scanner's
memory for up to 1 hour if you unplug the scanner or if a power failure
occurs.

Lockout Function-lets the scanner skip over specified channels.

The PRO-42 receives these bands:

*........................................30-50 MHz (VHF-Lo)
*..................................50-54 MHz (Ham Radio 6m)
*..................................138-144 MHz (Government)
*................................144-148 MHz (Ham Radio 2m)
*......................................148-174 MHz (VHF-Hi)
*....................380-450 MHz (Ham Radio and Government)
*......................................450-470 MHz (UHF Lo)
*......................................470-512 MHz (UHF Hi)


Your scanner might cause radio or TV interference, even when it is
operating properly.  To determine whether your scanner is causing the
interference, turn off your scanner.  If the interference goes away, your
scanner is causing the interference.  Try to eliminate the interference
by;

*...............Moving your scanner away from the receiver.
*.........Contacting your local Radio Shack Store for help.
