have the pro 106 don't understand why the battery voltage shuts off the scanner when there are still 4.86 volts left in the battery using the enercell rechargeable 1.2 volts 2500mah nmhi can take those batterysof pro 106 put in pro 164 scanner batterys will last 4 more hrs. is there a way to change this?

There appears to be a way to manage battery issues. I haven't tried it but you can read about it here.

Actually, just to provide you with a little more direction here, you can actually calibrate, by programming, the various levels of icon flash, and battery cutoff levels. You enter this mode by Pressing PGM then FUNC then F3 (GLOB). This is the Expert Mode. Scroll down with the arrow keys till you reach Batt Icon Cal. Here you will find the various levels (when selected) for NiMh, NiCd and Alkaline batteries. The values shown in the Easier to Read manual are default and then recommended settings. Please note, the values shown in the scanner programming are digital prog. values, not voltage. Here's the direct link: http://marksscanners.com/106_197/106_197.shtml#Bat Icon Cal
Definitely easier to do with a program like Win500 and the cable. Never wise to set the trigger voltages less than 4 volts as below this value (1 volt per cell) can damage the batteries. Also, the 106 is a digital receiver vs. the 164 which is primarily analog. The circuitry will be more power hungry and will probably deplete the batteries sooner.
