Hey guys, 1st post, complete dumbass here so bear with.. It took me 20 minutes to wade through how to post this.
My SIL is VFD, I’m LEO with SO, Former ARMY 101st AB, sergeant with PERT for NCDOC and 2nd amorer
yada yada....
I’m a lot of things or former things but one thing I’m not is a tech wiz.
Question is how does one work the RadioShack Pro-164?
It’s being brought out of retirement so to speak so wife can listen in.
She works at local hospital.
The freqencies are already programmed. I have no clue on banks, trunks, etc.
It worked up until it didn’t a few months ago.
Yes, it has power. Yes, good antenna. Squelch, etc.
I don’t want a “watch a video” response.
I need some type of for dummies explainantion to get it back to receiving signals.
It’s in top notch shape, yes, sounds “typical”, it actually is.
I can read an instruction manual but I always had local RadioShack handle it.
No, I don’t have a cable to connect to computer and Scancat won’t pick up phone.
TL;DR
Radio Shack PRO 164
A button was touched somewhere and it’s not scanning squat but the NC Forest Service.
Need a step by step so it picks up stuff again so wife will stop worrying me and SIL.
