• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Does anyone know if Radio Shack still makes mobile scanners? And if so which mobile unit would be the equalivalent to the Pro-95. Thanks!

RS Currently has NO mobiles, though the PRO-2052 could be used mobile as it is a 12 volt scanner..... the upcomming series of scanners for this fall and winter are supposed to include a base/(maybe mobile) version of the PRO-96 called the PRO-2096, and a pureblood mobile version. Rumors of next year include at least one mobile "non digital", one base/mobile rural, and at least one new portable.

I just bought a portable PRO-94 from Radio Shack about 2 days ago.

The PRO94 is not considered a "mobile" scanner. It is a hand held scanner.
