SRRCS is almost done rebanding
I have a Radio Shack Pro 95 and it just quit receiving. Am I going to be able to fix this to receive again. I would be interested in a meetup.
There are 3 choices with regard to a PRO-95....
1) Program in the new control channel frequencies. If a TG is assigned a frequency that fits the format 8xx.xxx5 MHz, you will hear it. If it doesn't, you won't. Not a good solution.
2) Program in all the new voice frequencies, set their modes to FM and scan them. You won't be trunk tracking, you won't have a display of who you are hearing and you'll get frustrated when something is digital or just a dead carrier. Not a good solution either.
3) Get a different scanner, one that can handle rebanding. The PRO-93, PRO-95, PRO-97 won't cut it. The PRO-92A or PRO-92B will track to only the 8xx.xxx5 MHz frequencies you have programmed in. You see the TG ID or text tag and you don't hear digital or unwanted stuff, but you don't hear all of what you want either.
With narrowbanding around the corner, and the slow migration to digital, a new scanner is not a bad idea anyway.
