I recently came across a couple of used Pro-107's and bought them. Nice idea. Love the small form factor (I also have a pro-106).
All seems well, except: It seems that sometimes they just stop scanning. Either that or the local PD shuts up completely for a half hour or more. If I "menu out" and "play" again I start picking them up again.
It seems to happen when one officer "traffic's" another and invites them to "common."
Like this
"33 38 traffic."
"38"
"33 38 go to common"
Then it goes dead. My pro 106 picks up the conversation on the common channel, and other traffic on the agency band as well. But the 107 stays quiet and the animated arrow is still "scanning."
I'm pretty sure I set up the config properly and loaded them into the SD card. Current firmware and library.
Buy the way, one of these 107's is serial number 115.
