Birdies

Birdies are frequencies your scanner uses when it operates. These
operating frequencies might interfere with broadcasts on the same
frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies, you hear only noise
on that frequency.

If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQUELCH
clockwise to cut out the birdie. The most common birdies to watch for are
listed below.

Birdie Frequencies:

31.05 MHz             124.20 MHz
41.40 MHz             134.55 MHz
51.75 MHz             144.90 MHz
113.85 MHz            155.25 MHz

Reception Notes

Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is mainly "line of
sight". That means you usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the
horizon. During the summer months you may be able to hear stations in the
30-50 MHz range located several hundred or even thousand of miles away.

Realistic Pro-2036 Conversion Mod Help Needed

Realistic Pro-2036 Conversion Mod Help Needed

A video showing my Realistic Pro-2036 also known as Radioshack. I would appreciate any help in shedding some light on this scanner as I want to convert from UK version to USA version. At the moment my scanner starts from 66 MHz, and I want it the same as the USA version starting at 29 MHz. Many thanks to Radionut53 (Darryll) for his quick reply to my message.

Realistic Pro-2036 Manuallyt Storing Frequencies

MANUALLY STORING FREQUENCIES

1. If ENTER LOCK is ON, set it to OFF.
2. If SCAN is displayed or the scanner is scanning, press MANUAL.
3. If the LOCK indicator is on, press LOCK. The scanner beeps softly and
LOCK turns off.
4. Press FREQ/CHAN until the CHAN indicator turns on. The scanner beeps
softly.
5. Turn the rotary tuner until the display shows the channel you want to
program.

PRO-2036 VD cell mod

Pro 2036 can pick up cell in the 400-512 range with this mod. Find IC 11, locate it on the bottom of the main board(where its pins come through).

Cut the trace between pin 7 and the base of Q17 and solder a wire to pin7 and base of Q17. Cut the trace between pin9 and the base of Q18. Solder a wire to pin9 and the base of Q18. Then solder one more wire to pin8(ground).

You now need a dual pole dual throw switch (6 leads on the underside) Solder the free wire ends in this order.

Q: How can the individual channels be delayed?

A: When the delay is turned on, it gives a two second delay on any
transmission. Delay cannot be memorized into individual channels.
The only selections that can be made are all delay or no delay.

Features
Home Scanner

This scanner is capable of performing an auto-sort. It does not
re-arrange the order in which the frequencies are stored. However, it
simply sorts internally all frequencies in the block(s) to be scanned in
order to scan faster.

    softly.

5. Turn the rotary tuner until the display shows the channel into which
    you want to store a frequency.

6. Use the number keys to enter the lower limit of the frequency range
    you want to search, then press LIMIT V-bar. The displayed channel
    flashes.

7. Use the number keys to enter the upper limit of the frequency range
    you want to search, then press LIMIT V-bar.

8. Press SEARCH to search from the lower to the upper limit.

9. To store the displayed frequency in the selected channel, press E.
    The displayed channel stops flashing and the scanner stores the
    frequency.

    prevent accidentally changing them.

PRIORITY Programming

Priority feature allows you to scan through programmed channels and not
miss an important or specified call on a specific channel. There are 10
storage banks and each bank can have one channel as a priority channel
Only one stored channel in each bank can be programmed as a priority
channel.

1. If SCAN is displayed or the scanner is scanning, press MANUAL.

2. If the LOCK indicator is on, press LOCK. Lock turns off.

3. Press FREQ/CHAN until the CHAN indicator turns on. The scanner beeps
