    Does anyone's Pro-106 do this? (video)

    This only started happening after the Guilford County rebranding (yesterday). I programmed all 28 or so CCs into the scanner (already had my TGs programmed) and started listening - but only for a matter of seconds. Soon it started doing this stutter thing where it wouldn't seem to latch onto a...

    Very new newbie - Indianapolis Public Safety system, help needed

    Good morning! I just purchased a Radio Shack Pro-106. Being brand new (as in no knowledge whatsoever), I knew I'd be in for a long, steep learning curve.

    PRO-2096/PRO-106 Question

    Some time ago I bought a PRO-2096, it was preloaded by the local RS store. Recently I added a PRO-106 to my collection, again preloaded by the local RS store. The PRO-106 seems to hear things that my PRO-2096 does not. I assume there are new frequencies/channels in it that aren't in the...
