Pro 197 Talkgroup Programming.

[KS95]

Hello. I recently purchased a Pro 197 scanner. Great scanner but im having difficulty trying to program the talkgroups for Washington Twp NJ Police/Fire/EMS. I have little knowledge on how to program talkgroups so if someone can give me step by step instructions it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Thats a helpful manual but I am unsure about what the Hi Channels and Lo Channels are. Here is the link for what i am trying to program, Morris County Trunking System, Morris County, New Jersey - Scanner Frequencies.

It will only scan the talk groups you have programmed in - unless you have a wildcard programmed in.

Thank You! The scanner I had b4 was a Radioshack Pro-94 and Pro-2050 programming them was a lot easier.

KS I'm in Jersey so if your still stuck pm me and we can talk on the phone!! I could be wrong but with a 197 I think if you put the red and blue ones in,the scanner will find all the trunked transmissions within that group!! The software of your choice helps a lot as well!! My friend created a file for me using Win 500 software. I can add to the file,move stuff,...ect. But to be honest I nevervtried to program in a talk group. But in the software I can see how he did it!

I just got a PRO-197 and have had a BC346XT for many years. I like to think I am at least average intellegence but found that programming a scanner is a test of my patience. So, to overcome my shortcomings I bought a programming cable and software for the BC346XT after beating my head on a wall. With a premium subscription to RR I had all the information downloaded and installed in 20 minutes.
When I got my PRO-197, history teaches good lessons. Got the cable, downloaded Win 500 and in 15 minutes I was operational. Don't punish yourself, get the right tools and fix the issue.
