does anyone know how to do a full reset on the radioshack pro 197

From the owner's manual,

Power on the scanner, and while the "Welcome" screen is showing, press the "zero" key followed by the "one" key.

factory reset - 106 & 197

How does the factory reset for these two radios affect the V-Folder information stored in the folders? Is it reset to some "factory default" or does it stay the same way the user has it?

Inquiring minds want to know, but not bad enouth to mess up my two working scanners!

Again from the owner’s manual.......

“V-Scanner memory is not affected by this procedure. “

Per the Easier To Read Manual > Cloning/Uploading/Downloading:
The scanners have power-on keypress sequences that are used as shortcuts to configuration items, like attenuator settings, backlight settings and memory information. They will also allow you to reset the whole scanner or just the 'Global Settings'. The resets do not affect the V-Scanner Folders. Power-on key sequences are also used to place your scanner into firmware upgrade mode for CPU and DSP firmware upgrades.

You can also download the .pdf of the officlal manual at ScanCat.com > PSR500-PRO-106 Owners Manual]


P.S. fxdscon already answered while I was typing. :)

Hope this helps,
