pro-106

Just curious, does anyone know if they are the same radios in different forms? Or does one have something that the other doesn't? John

Hello Folks, Now that I am hearing all sorts of things on the 106 I have a scanning issue. I am missing the beginning of some of the conversations. I know this was discussed but I cannot find it. There is apparently some setting for the amount of time the radio spends trying to determine the...

Hello Folks, First of all let me say that I would like to understand how to do this without software. I am a Mac and Linux guy and not particularly interested in Windows software in order to program the scanner. Also, even the Easy manual could use examples. So, I have attempted to program...

Hi all!, I'll introduce myself- name's Derek and I'm coming back to the scanning hobby after a 14 year hiatus. I last scanned in the late 90's with a Pro-46, wow have things changed! Anyways, so I did some research and determined my area (Shreveport/Bossier City, LA) is mostly digital so I...

I got a RadioShack Pro-106 today and RadioShack programed it there. But I want some diffrent channels. I want Fire and EMS on the same band and Police on a diffrent Band. How can I do this? And they had a Talk Group into it scanner at the time but all day no firefighters came on it at all. And...

Hey folks, I just wanted to say that I FINALLY managed to buy a Pro-106! I have been been aiming to get this particular scanner ever since last Christmas, when I was given a Pro-164, which unfortunately does not cover my area (P-25, in the National Capital Region). I never managed to find any in...

Hi, I have a Pro 106 which I listen to while relaxing in bed at night. I find that I like keeping the back light on to see what I'm listening to while scanning. Does anyone have any feeling for the number of hours of use the back lights have in them before they'll need to be replaced? Thank you

I've read to reviews I've seen to opinions good and bad but I've not seen this topic compared. I live in a mixed use area within 15 miles I could have Digital trucked, digital single channel, Motorola type 1, 2, or hybrid system, conventional and some encrypted ( I know I can't scan these just...

CPU 1.7 firmware Release Radio shack has released the CPU 1.7 firmware upgrade for the Pro 106 and Pro 197. The current RS site links are not formulated properly, but the firmware is able to be downloaded. I have downloaded and installed it to be sure the upgrade worked before I posted this...

I thought I would start a thread for trading scanner files for the Utah area. I live is Salt Lake City and monitor most of the counties surrounding me with a PRO-106 digital scanner. I would like to see how others have organized their files for this area. My ARC500 file is posted here...

I was e-mailed, and noticed in my regular mail as well, the beginning of ads promoting the "Father's Day Sales" which have been synonymous with Radio Shack for as long as I can remember. Now, Father's Day is obviously a couple of weeks yet ahead, but I noticed sales prices on the Pro-164 for...

I am trying to program my scanner by hand, and have a few questions: 1)Can you assign a frequency a certain ID? EX--460.2125 i put in bank 4 but does it have to be in numerical order? Or can i make that frequency ID# 500 if i wanted... 2) I assigned a frequency to ID 19 and than deleted it...

It might have been better to place this in the 1.7 firmware wishlist thread so my apologies beforehand but I am not certain if this could be accomplished with a firmware update or not. It may fall under the 'next model' wishlist. At any rate I would like to have the ability to receive FM radio...

Hey folks, this is my first time posting a thread on this forum (after having nearly exhausted the Search Function), and I have a very important decision to make in regards to a scanner. I asked for a Scanner for Christmas, as my Great Uncle has been deep into the field for a long time now, and...

Can i use 12volts to charge my pro-106 without damage or does it have to be 9volts.Thanks

Does anyone know if the pro-106 will have trouble getting the motorola 800mhz rebanding.If not, is entering the new control freq.all i have to do. Thanks

I wanted to update the WIKI(?) that mentions Control Channel / Frequency but can't figure out how to do it. I wanted to add the Radio Shack PRO-106. I can't figure out how to do this. Here is the link to the page: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Control_Channel_Only Here are the...

Is it possible to get Status Bits on the Pro-106?

I plan on purchasing the new RadioShack Pro-106 scanner. I am not sure on what software to get though. My current scanner is a RadioShack Pro-70...I know, OLD! I just recently started looking into new scanners and I am overwhelmed by how much they have changed. All this new technology is...

How similar will the Pro-106 be to the GRE PSR 500? ESK? Auto LTR Programming? Frequency Ranges? Frequency Steps? Will it include the FM Broadcast Band? Will it included Color Coded L.E.D.s?
