Hello, your scanner appears to be a 10 channel crystal controlled scanner. I'm estimating it to be around 30-40 years old. I think there is a couple companies still making custom crystals but you have to find the freq's #'s to give them. Here is the freq. range it will pick up.
Frequency range RX
30-50 / 144-174 / 450-512 MHz
I personally would take the money spent for crystals and apply it towards a newer scanner that is programmable so no crystals needed. Here's a link to some more info;
You can initialize the scanner to delete all information that you've programmed into it and return it to its original factory settings. To do this:
1. Turn the scanner OFF, then turn it ON again. 2. Press and hold down the CLEAR key and insert a pointed object, such as a paperclip or the point of a pen, into the RESET opening in the back of the scanner, and press the button inside the opening. 3. Release RESET. When information reappears on the scanner's display, release the CLEAR key.
NOTE: You must release the RESET button before releasing the CLEAR key.
Also note that this procedure may not be necessary. Programming a new frequency into a channel automatically deletes the frequency previously stored in that channel.
The memory on the unit is not retaining the frequencies. Check for a small battery on the circuit board like a button battery you would find on your computer motherboard. Replace the battery and reprogram the unit.
