I just bought a PRO-2033 and would like to hear 460.300 and what's listed as
the 'talk-around'. I am completely ignorant and trying to get a grasp on
this stuff. My Dad was a chief of police (passed away in 2000) and I've got
tons of cops in the family but hate to admit I never paid attention and ask
one of them

When I hit the scan button, the digital readout just runs 1 through 10 and
flashes all zeros every time. If I turn the squelch down, it stops, but it's
just static. So it appears auto scanning doesn't even pick anything up at
all. Is it my location or my reception?

When I try to manually enter the frequency, it gives me an error every time
or simply nothing.

Do you think I am a) doing it wrong. b) the scanner itself doesn't function
properly or c) my antenna isn't working?

Is it also possible that the previous owner locked out lots of frequencies?
I think the only way to unlock one is to enter the exact number first.

Any guidance for a complete new person who is seriously interested in doing
this?

TIA,

Mary
