PRO-84 Redux...

[N5RLR]

I'm calling this "Redux" because of finding previous discussions about the RadioShack PRO-84 "Racing" Scanner. I just picked one up for a nice price, and it seems a handy little radio for analog listening, including 11m CB and the expected VHF/UHF Amateur bands. Now in 2025, is there a programming cable and software available (even if I have to build a 3.2mm-to-DB9 cable and use a USB-to-Serial adapter) for this? Thanks. 😉

You can use Butel ARC83 software: ARC83 for PRO83/PRO84 software download

The cable you need is either RS 20-047 or RS 20-289 cable.
