Is there anyone located in or around Las Cruces, NM or even El Paso, TX that could program my older model RS Scanner for me?

No need to double post - someone will see it - there are a lot of us working stiffs, y'know :.>>

Anyhow here's a couple of things you can use to help you with the programming...

Programming Shortcut Pro-95 - The RadioReference Wiki

Easier to Read Pro-93/95/2053 Scanner Manual

As you might guess, this scanner is kinda limited in what it can hear, compared to today's systems. Precisely what are you trying to hear?

. For starters, Read the link Mike posted above! That will help you get started. 73, n9zas

i am not sure

what system you were hearing.
but it looks like the bulk is digital and the 95 does not do digital.
could you post who you were listening to?

Programming RS scanner

The link to the manual will "give you knowledge"

If you manually step through the channels, the display will show a "L" for locked out. Pressing the L/O key will shut off the lockout. Someone probably hit the lockout key by mistake.

Just randomly hitting keys will not usually delete frequencies......

If it's a trunked system, then both sites and talkgroups must be enabled. A little more complicated to fix.....

RS Pro95

Yep, i need someone to do it. thanks tho.

 

[wtp]

try this

To View all locked out channels, in manual or program mode, press FUNC then L/OUT (each time) to step through the locked out channels. Press L/OUT to unlock a channel. If there are no locked out channels, then the scanner will just beep

Pro 95

All of that has been done. I need someone to actually program it. Everything else has been done, books read, yada, yada, yada. That is why I asked for someone to program it.

I reside in Dona Ana County and the city of Las Cruces is supposed to be going to a P25 later this year and have heard that the city of El Paso is going to Phase 2 TDMA as well. I had a Pro-95 many years ago and programmed it by hand and it took awhile to get it programed.

Pro 95

I cant find anyone to program it! Will both of those upgrades be too high tech to be picked up by any scanner?

 

[ka3jjz]

Unfortunately the 95 can't be 'upgraded' to cover Phase 2 nor plain old P25 (often called Phase 1). There are several scanners on the market that can handle Phase 2 (and by extension, P25)

[ka3jjz]

Look at section 4.2 of this article in our wiki for a list of scanners that are Phase 2 compatible

APCO Project 25 - The RadioReference Wiki

And if you're up for something of a challenge, Software Defined Radios can handle this as well, with the right software.

I'm not familiar with the radio, but does it have a "location" option? With that you would just pop in your zip code and/or county and it will pick signals up for you. FWIW.

That is why I asked for someone to program it.

If you are looking for help or services from your local area, try checking the New Mexico Radio Discussion Forum. You can get this thread moved there by clicking the report button ( ) located on the top right of your first post.

This forum is more for trying to learn about the scanner and scanning. It is not really all that good for seeking a local to program it for you. That is probably why you are not getting the help you are looking for.

Not a feature. Check out the nice wiki page we have for the Pro-95.
