how to program a Pro-97

[cendecon]

I'm trying to program Bakersfield, Ca on my Pro-97. It was given to me without a manual and I'm looking for police type frequencies.

I am VERY new to scanning so if my terms are wrong, please excuse. I am in Frazier Park and would like any "local" frequencies. I'm not sure how the frequencies work - e.g. city, county etc. If it's county I'm in Kern.

Any info you can give would be much appreciated!

Take a look here for the manual.

Take a look here: Kern County, California (CA) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference for the frequencies in Kern County.

And here: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Pro-97 for more information regarding the PRO-97. Note that many of us use WIN97 to actually program the scanner, although I also feel it is very important to learn how to program it manually.
