Hello and Thank you in advance for your help

How does one clear a Radio shack Pro 106 and is it the same for the 197

Happy scanning

Yes, the functions are interchangeable.

Ok I understand they are the same but how do I clear the scanner please

Look up "reset" in your manual and do a full reset. HTH.

I am in the process of learning all the ins and outs of the 106, clearing the memory is just a matter of:

turning the unit on while pressing the "0" key, followed by

"1" clears all working memory and resets all 'Global Settings' to factory defaults. Press ENT to continue within 6 seconds.

or

"2" resets all 'Global Settings' to factory defaults. Does not affect working memory. Press ENT to continue within 6 seconds.

You can download a PDF copy of the manual from the Radio Shack web site. FWIW I keep a copy of most of my radio manuals in a Dropbox account so I can access them from my smartphone, tablet or any handy computer. Helps my memory.

The process for resetting the scanner can also be found on page 92 of the owners manual, http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/uc/rs...0197_PM_EN.pdf

Turn the scanner on, when the welcome screen is shown press 0

then press 1

then press Enter

then press any key

your scanner is now back to factory defaults.

Thank you all so much as it was driving us crazy

Happy Scanning

John

The best cleaning method I use is a moist Q-tip. Rub gently--moist-not soaked.

I think you got "clearing" and "cleaning" mixed up there! Don't worry, I thought the same thing when I glanced at the topic a few days back.

Good luck John I have a paper manual that came with mine but as most mentioned the easier to read version for me is much more helpful!!
