PRO-2066 150-Channel Mobile Trunking Scanner - Features - Faxback Doc. # 49848

Oct 28, 2026

RadioShack PRO-2066 is a 150-channel mobile trunking scanner designed to track Motorola Type 1 and Type II trunking systems, as well as hybrid analog trunking. It enables users to follow trunked conversations by monitoring the trunking data channel that carries unique transmission codes. The scanner can also scan conventional transmissions with service banks, provides direct access to 30,000+ frequencies, and supports multiple storage banks and scanning aids for efficient monitoring.

PRO-2066 150-Channel Mobile Trunking Scanner (200-0195) Features Faxback Doc. \# 49848 INTRODUCTION Your new RadioShack PRO-2066 150-Channel Mobile Trunking Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola Type 1 and Type II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, which are extensively used in many 800 MHz communication systems. Trunking communications systems let a large group of 2-way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a large range of frequencies. Instead of selecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user simply selects a talk group. The trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and also sends (on a different frequency called a data channel) a code that uniquely identifies that transmission. Since the trunking system might send a call and its response on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a regular scanner. The PRO-2066 lets you select and monitor the data channel frequency sent with a 2-way radio transmission, so you can hearthe call and response for that user and more easily "follow" the conversation. The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmissions, and ispreprogrammed with service banks for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies most commonly used by public service and other agencies without tedious and complicated programming. This scanner gives you direct access to over 30,000 exciting frequencies, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services, and you can change your selection at any time. Your scanner also has these special features: CB Receive with Channel Display-you can scan CB transmissions, displaying the channel number as you scan them. Nine Service Banks-frequencies are preset in separate police (fire/emergency), aircraft, ham, marine, public, CB highway, DOT (department of transportation), and weather banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of calls. DIN-E Size-you can install the scanner in the mounting space provided in many new vehicles. Supplied Frequency Guide- lists the frequencies for many of the 800 MHz public safety systems you can listen to. Triple-Conversion Circuitry-virtually eliminates any interference from IF (intermediate frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency. Five Channel-Storage Banks-you can store up to 30 channels in each of 5 different banks to group channels so you can more easily identify calls. Five Scan Lists-you can store up to 50 trunking IDs in each trunk tracking bank. Two-Second Scan Delay-delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel. Lock-Out Function- lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching, and skip over IDs when tracking trunked systems. Priority Channels- lets you program one channel in each bank (5 in all) and then have the scanner check that channel every 2 seconds while it scans the bank, so you don't miss transmissions on those channels. Hypersearch- lets you set the scanner to search at up to 300 steps per second in frequency bands with 5 kHz steps. The normal search speed is 100 steps per second. Hyperscan-the scanner automatically scansup to 50 channels per second to help you quickly find interesting broadcasts. Data Signal Skip- lets you set the scanner to skip non-modulated or data signals (such as fax or modem transmissions) during scanning or searches. This lets the scanner avoid non-voice signals, making a scanning oar search faster. Manual Channel Access-You can directly access any channel to quickly tune a frequency stored in the channel. Disconnect Tone Detect-the scanner aut

FAQs

What trunking systems does the PRO-2066 support?

It tracks Motorola Type 1 and Type II trunking systems, such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus, and hybrid analog trunking systems used in many 800 MHz communication setups.

How does the scanner help you follow trunked communications?

It lets you monitor the data channel frequency sent with a 2-way radio transmission, so you can hear both the call and response and more easily follow the conversation.

What scanning and storage features are included?

It provides service banks, multiple channel-storage banks, scan lists for trunking IDs, and scan control tools such as scan delay, lock-out, priority channels, and fast search modes.
