You press a FM RADIO key, you can quickly listen to the local broadcast stations. This scanner gives you direct access to over 22,000 exciting frequencies, including those used by police and fire departments, ambulance services, aircraft, and amateur radio services, and you can change your selection at any time. Your scanner also has these special features: Service Search Bands — let you search preset frequencies in separate marine, fire/police, aircraft, and ham banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of calls. FM Radio — lets you receive FM broadcast for your local area. Display Backlight — makes the scanner easy to read in low-light situations. Lockout Function — lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching. Ten Channel-Storage Banks — you can store 20 channels in each bank (200 total channels), letting you group channels so you can more easily identify calls. Tune — lets you tune for new and unlisted frequencies starting from a specified frequency. SAME/FIPS Weather Alert — displays the weather event for the specific cities or counties you choose so you can hear the alert tone. Memory Backup — keeps the frequencies stored in memory for an extended time during a power loss. Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can hear more replies that are transmitted on the same channel. Priority Channel — lets you set the scanner to check one channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss transmissions. Page 3 PSR-200U Owner’s Manual Draft Tone Squelch (CTCSS and DCS) — decodes and displays the CTCSS or DCS tone signal. Data Cloning — lets you transfer the programmed data to another PSR-200U scanner. Liquid-Crystal Display — makes it easy to view and change programming information. Supplied Telescoping Antenna — provides good reception of strong local signals. External Antenna Connector — lets you connect an external antenna (not supplied) with a BNC connector to the scanner for improved reception of distant/weaker signals. Your PSR-200U scanner can receive these bands: Frequency Range (MHz) Types of Transmissions 29–54 10-Meter Ham Band, VHF Lo, 6-Meter Ham Band 87.3–107.9 FM broadcast 108–136.99166 Aircraft 137–174 Military Land Mobile, 2-Meter Ham Band, VHF Hi 380–512 UHF Aircraft, Federal Government, 70-cm Ham Band, UHF Standard Band, UHF “T” Band Note: See “Specifications” on Page XX for more information about the scanner’s frequency steps. © 2010 General Research of Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved. We encourage responsible, safe and legal scanner use. THE FCC WANT YOU TO KNOW This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in Page 4 PSR-200U Owner’s Manual Draft accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. SCANNING LEGALLY Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio, military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission you should never intentionally listen to. These include: • Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private …

January 29, 2010 Federal Communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division Laboratory Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Colombia, MD 21046 Ref.: FCC ID: ADV0712902 This is to clarify that the above equipment is incapable of operating (tuning) or readily being altered by the user to operate, within the frequency bands to the Cellular Radiotelephone Service. The frequencies in question are deleted from the ROM during manufacture, and cannot be restored through any readily available process or component such as: installation of cuts, jumper wires, resistors, diodes, or plug-in IC’s; deletion of such items; or reprogramming via access codes or external devices such as a personal computer. The receiver is incapable of converting digital cellular transmissions to analog voice audio. Assessing the vulnerability of the receiver to possible modification The receiver has the possibility of reducing the threshold value to discern transmissions from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service by making modification such as adding jumper wire to the UHF RF tuning circuit and UHF mixer circuit. Design features that prevent modification of the receiver to receive Cellular Service The scanning receiver is designed to prevent any attempt for the user to modify the receiver to receive transmissions from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service by using epoxy to cover the required parts of the UHF RF tuning circuit.

Testing method used to determine compliance with the 38 dB rejection ratio Test set-up: Equipment Setup Block Diagram Test Test frequencies: 869.00MHz, 877.03MHz, 885.06MHz, 893.09MHz easurement method rm initial screening, adjust EUT’s for the Squelched Threshold to suppress audio utput. . (The shold sensitivity of -6 dBuV.) This is approximately 66-38=28dB above the FCC limit.) (3) Turn EUT on and search cellular frequencies on all of the receiving ranges. (4) List all detected frequencies if EUT detects any. (5) Repeat the above procedure for each of the other cellular test frequencies. (6) To determine actual image rejection ratio for a detected frequency, perform the following steps. (7) Set both of EUT and SSG’s frequency to the frequency gained by the above screening. INAD and record the gained level.
