I somehow fubard my scanner and I trying to reprogram it,I follow the steps and it tells me invalid value? Is there any way to reset the scanner back to factory settings to start from new?

Take a look at:

You can do a full unit initialization, a complete reset to factory settings, if that's what you need.

It sounds like you are entering a frequency that is not within its range, or a talkgroup ID and set to the wrong format.

To reinitialize the scanner, turn it off. Turn it on and when the "sign on message" is displaying, press 0 then 1. Do NOT turn off the power until the scanner reboots. Once it reboots it will be with factory settings.

Resetting the Pro 97

To Initialize the scanner, turn off the scanner then turn it back on. Press 0 when the welcome screen appears. 'Please select factory tests. Exit if no key is pressed' will briefly appear. Then quickly press 1. 'Initialization clear all memory Enter to confirm Clear to exit' will briefly appear. Quickly press ENT to initialize. 'Initializing, Please stand by' then appears. Do not turn off the scanner while it is initializing. The display should then show M000 on the top line and Bank 0 CH 00 when finished.
