I'm calling this "Redux" because of finding previous discussions about the RadioShack PRO-84 "Racing" Scanner. I just picked one up for a nice price, and it seems a handy little radio for analog listening, including 11m CB and the expected VHF/UHF Amateur bands. Now in 2025, is there a...

I bought this scanner sometime back in 2011. The box that it came with has long since disappeared from my belongings and is someplace where the Gremlin that hides my socks hangs out. Anyways, I located the iSCAN software for this and I was wondering if anyone had any leads on where to purchase...

Does anyone know for certain the specications for the power plug which goes into the side of the radio? It appears that it's a 4mm barrel, but I'm unsure of the center pin. Manual doesn't say. I'm trying to make a custom power cable for my radio.

The Dayton Hamvention is over, and I heard two guys talking mobile to mobile on 146.52 as they drive home about someone possibly picking up the Pro-197 and making them again. I gathered from the conversation there was some sort of discussion at the Hamvention. I sat this year out. This...
