pro 163

Hello, a friend asked me to program his 2) pro-163 scanners with the channels that have moved to the palmetto 800 (P25 system). I have the radio shack manual and it is not laid out in a good way to understand how to program the motorola P25 trunking. I believe I have it figured out. Here is my...

I have for sale a Radio Shack PRO-163 scanner, power supply, and antenna. Cost is $85 including shipping, payment to be paid via PayPal, local pick up possible. Please reach out if you have any questions.

I picked up a used PRO-163, and all that I got was the scanner. This is fine except I can't find much information on the AC adapter. Searching online I found that it has a "T Connector" but that didn't get me very far. All I need is a lead on the connector type I can easily find a source for...

I am having trouble getting my local PD / Sheriff frequencies to come in clearly. The two freqs I am having trouble with are 465.1000 and 465.3000 . They do not seem to be listed in the RR database. Jefferson County, Iowa (IA) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference Many that are...

I used the ARC300 software to upload the Sacramento RRCS from radioreference.com. I can hear audio on the various frequencies when I monitor them manually (and I see the talkgroup alpha tag), but when I trunk scan, it continually scans without picking up any audio. All of the frequencies and...

Good morning, Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I have programmed all the channels I want to listen to and programmed my area police department trunking information following the steps i nthe manual in bank 8 and the steps from the wiki pages here in bank 9. Neither bank is...

When I download from RR database or enter a frequency manually WITHOUT a pl into ARC 300 it defaults the mode to am. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.

Ok I did my 2 (or 3) weeks of pulling my hair out and i can now store talk groups in my pro 163. and I can scan and I have tons of chatter. Now I blocked out the police ones as I dont seam to prefer perp chatter and pull overs. To do this, I had to put all the channels in MOT mode so the locked...

I have a Radio Shack Pro-163 Triple Trunking Mobile Scanner and I am having trouble getting some banks set up as Trunking or defined as Trunking what ever you want to call it. I use ARC 300 software to program the scanner and get all my frequency from the Radio Reference data base. Any help...

Ok, I need some help guys. I have a Pro 163 scanner that I am trying to get set up to monitor 4 talk groups. I keep getting an "All Channels Locked Out" when I try to scan. I can view the system (TXWARN) and the talkgroups as stored in one bank and 4 channels but when I try to make it scan it...

I am new to scanning as well as the Radio Reference website. I purchased a RS PRO-163 yesterday. I live in Salt Lake County and I hope I purchased the correct scanner. I am mostly interested in listening to the UCAN system but I am having trouble programming my scanner. I would like to buy the...

We are using several Pro 163 Scanners as well as a few GRE 400s. After our system, Caddo Parish, La rebanded recently these radios developed problems. The radios were all reprogrammed with for the new Freqs and the Mult-Tables for 800 Rebanded.. Main problem is - after a period of quiet, the...

Greetings, I recently acquired the Pro-163 (with firmware update) and found this excellent message board that kept me from making the "normal" mistakes upon interfacing with the computer and database downloads. All the little required steps went very well without any issues, as interfaced with...
