I'm a very new scanner user. I have never had one before. I bought a radio shack Pro 433. Is there any good reference guides out there that would be a big help to me? All I have is the instructions that came with it, and that does not seem to be a big help to a beginner. All I can monitor at this point is the downloaded frequencies that the dealer loaded for me (the police and fire channels for my particular locale). That is fun, but I would like to do more with it.
It is a base/mobile unit, so I can use it in my vehicle (legal issues aside). Is it possible to enter the CB radio frquencies, so that I can monitor those when I'm in my car? If so, how do I do that? I have tried, but when I get through all of the steps, the last one being entering the frequency (example: 27.065 mhz for channel 9) and push E/PGM, it errors out on me.
Also, from a weather standpoint, all I seem to be able to get is the report form my local area NOA weather station. How do I get the Skywarn functions, and something called SAME. I would like to be able to use this a lot more from a weather standpoint.
Any help with anything would be appreciated. Forgive me if I sound a little stupid on this stuff. As I said, I'm completely new and have no idea what I'm doing at this point.
Thank You
