Understanding the Display

The LCD provides important information about the status of the

radio. The top row of icons provide status information. Beneath

this row, there are 4 rows of 16 characters each that provide

alphanumeric information such as frequencies and object names.

The last row usually contains softkeys for F1, F2, and F3.

Understanding Object Oriented Scanning

Your PRO-652 scanner utilizes an entirely new method of

programming called Object Oriented Scanning. In Object Oriented

Scanning, all “Scannable Objects” are treated the same. Scannable

Objects include talkgroups on trunked radio systems, conventional

non-trunked frequencies, limit searches, service searches, and Signal

Stalker II configurations. All these Scannable Objects are created,

edited, grouped, scanned and deleted using the same methods.

Scannable Objects can also be searched, filtered, and locked out.

Scannable Objects are mapped to Scan Lists, which can be named,

enabled, and disabled. There is even a Favorites Scan List. It is

easy to search for new frequencies or talkgroups and add them to

Scan List groups. It is also easy to delete or deactivate objects and

Scan Lists that you do not want to listen to, including a powerful

temporary lockout mode that allows you to zero in on activity

associated with a speciﬁc incident, then restore your desired

conﬁguration when the incident is over.

Object Oriented Scanning is completely different from any prior

scanning receiver technology. Accordingly, some users may ﬁnd it

difﬁcult to visualize and understand how Object Oriented Scanning

works. This may be especially true for users who are familiar with

more recent scanning receiver technologies.

We suggest that you keep the following Object Oriented Scanning

Tenets in mind as you proceed with your study of this manual.

1. Memory organization is nothing more than a large list of

Scannable Objects.

2. A Scannable Object is simply “something that can be scanned,”

including conventional channels, trunking talkgroups, limit

searches, service searches, and Signal Stalker II setups.

3. There are no “systems,” “banks,” “groups,” “sub-groups,” or

“ID lists.” There is simply a very large collection of objects, each
