pro-96

I have a radio shack pro 96, and want to listen to austin fire department channel fcom west. It doesn't give me a frequency just a dec and a hex! What is dec and hex and how do I program that in to my pro 96? Thanks

I programmed the control frequency for my county's p25 system into my scanner and I can't hear anything. It reads DG in the right top corner of the screen. Am I doing something wrong? I'm new to digital scanners.

I have both of these radios but I am unable to manually select and ID/talkgroup. I've read the manual several times but apparently just don't "get it". Any ideas? Thanks, Gregg

Our local Radio Shack closed its doors a few months ago in Salida, CO and it's 100-130 miles to the nearest Big City (Pueblo, or Colorado Springs - and Denver is about 150). And last year I made the mistake of buying a Pro-96 on E-Bay and I swear I will never buy anything from E-Bay ever again...

Just wondering if after they got the system in place running did they cut the power back? About 6 months ago I got calls from several people claiming they couldn't hear Petersburg system anymore on their PRO-96. I live almost within eyesight of the Wagner Rd tower and the signal varies from...

Hi folks. I live about 5 miles from MPLS - St. Paul international and would think that I could pick up tower transmissions using my handheld Pro-96. I have both the stock and the 800 mHZ antennaes. Neither are acceptable for the cival aircraft band... Any suggestions? I've heard that the...

I have had my first scanner, a BC72XLT, for about a month now and have really been enjoying it. I really like all the things I'm able to pick up, but am a bit disappointed at the low memory capacity and not being able to get FMN or digitally trunked signals, and the limited frequency coverage. I...

Hi Group. I have been offered an as-new (10 hours listening time total) Pro-96 complete setup (radio, USB-programming cable, AC adapter, Battery packs, box,etc) for a great price. I have a BCD396T and run it on the Ontario Fleetnet system. (Southern Ontario). The Uniden has the ability to...

I am trying to program my Pro-96 for Northwest Central Dispatched Trunked 800 system, but cannot seem to get it working. I have programmed a 2096 successfully before, but this one has me stumped. I used Win96 and even downloaded the data off of RR website, but I am not getting anything...

I've loaded the KSICS data in my Pro-96 and am running it under the MO mode. I have 2 questions - can I utilize the open closed setting? Second, I've loaded all the towers I'm ever near, and I'm leaving one empty bank between towers. Does this blank channel need to be anything other than 0.0000?

I have a PRO-96 and had the display go "all black" 2 years ago. It was sent in for repair while still under warranty (at that time) and has been working fine until... Over the weekend the display went "all white," and I discovered this ribbon connector issue and proceeded to perform the repair...

Hi, first post, please help; I would like to take the "V-Folder" data for michigan from my pro-96 and put it into another radio, a uniden 396. However, does anyone know the default freqency data for the michigan area, or how to get it out of the radio itself? I looked online and I cannot find...

I purchased scan cat lite (mistake) difficult to program. arc96 trial is much easier to use. My question is why is their no program for the 96 that has radio control, they all will only progam the radio, and thats it. I have been using pro-turbo on my pro-2006 and even it has radio control...

I'm trying to use a 20-047 cable with my Pro-96 to upload data from a Vista machine. I'm using Win96 to program it. I was able to download from the scanner to the computer, but I cannot upload from Win96 to the scanner. I have the correct port selected (COM4). I'm not using the 3-inch mono...

I hate to create a post like this, but I have given up. I've searched these forums and found a couple of posts from other having similar problems, but no solution. -Radio Shack PRO-96 -Latest firmware installed -new MECA Digital Frequencies from the databse loaded via WIN96 - "Type" set to...

I noticed that several CalFire frequencies had a "tone" associated with them. What exactly is a tone, and does it need to be programmed in with the frequency. I have RS Pro-96
