My RadioShack scanners

[EdwardnNC]

This is my first post.

I thought I would start with my RadioShack scanner collection.

The first scanner that I ever purchased was actually for my brother.
I am not 100% sure on the model... but I think it was the PRO 26.

The first one I got for myself was the PRO 90.

I got a PRO 94 after my dad passed. It was his last and favorite scanner...

Then, I was given a PRO 75 a few years ago that has an issue.. it only runs on a power supply. The battery holder was either lost, or broken. There is battery acid damage on one of the battery prongs.

I haven't listened to them much at all for years. The PRO 90 got the most use from me of course.
I just found out tonight that the NiCD pack in it no longer holds a charge.. so I might seek out a replacement.

The reason I joined the site was that a family member purchased a new Bearcat BCD396XT and asked me to program it. I didn't know how complicated it was. Holy crap what a difference. I am still learning.


That is all for now. Take it easy!

Welcome aboard EdwardNC

I've been listening to scanners since about '92. I had my first radio was a 10 channel Radio Shack Pro 41 or 42 (has 2 blue buttons) and no keypad can't remember other buttons believe had a square screen only see 0-9 that is it on the screen. I had other scanners too like the Pro 92 Pro 96 BC200xlt sc150 alinco djxt-10 bcd396 psr-500 bcd996 bcd396xt psr 800. I still have the alinco djxt10, bcd396xt, psr800 radios. I had other base units not able to remember which base units I had.
