I am thinking of buying the Outdoor VHF-Hi/UHF Scanner Antenna model 20-176 from Radio Shack, I am going to order it online since they do not have it available at any stores near me. I have searched the web and have not found what connection it has on it, to connect it to the scanner. Can anyone...

Hi to all, I was planning on buying this antenna Friday after seeing it online and wonder if it's worth having? I have a base Radio Shack Pro-2050 Trunk Tracker scanner that is about 12yrs old. I live in Princeton,Indiana and ever since Vincennes police went to the 800 freqs i can't get them...

Hello All, The newspaper I work for just bought a new RadioShack pro-164. I read the manual and am trying to figure it out, even though I am brand new to this. I programmed 25 frequencies into the banks, and I think that I have all the frequencies I need - local fire and police, etc. I have...

Hey guys, I just bought the RS Pro-404 as a mobile to use until my FD can get me a pager. Its a good radio, and a plus is being able to do AM as well. However, when I have another radio on, this one misses the first second of conversation, there is background static and if I move around, it cuts...

Looking for some help, I have a Pro-433 that scans very slow, and doesn't pick up anything, if I turn the volume all the way up I hear a little static and it cuts off when it switches from ch to ch. Ive had it for about 3 or 4 years now. Thanks in advance for any help. Tim

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...

I have an old Radio Shack Pro-60 scanner and want to listen to MILAir channels. A friend of mine told me to buy a newer Radio Shack handheld and I am finding out the one I bought is actually a rebranded Pro-404- Here is my question. Is the frequency range on my older Pro-60 better than the one I...

So I dropped my Pro-96 last evening about 2 1/2 feet to an asphault ground. I shut the scanner off, and it turned it back on. All the channels re-appeared, and but no audio. I removed the batteries, and turned the scanner back on, but now I have no screen, or obviously audio. Anyone have any...

I've got a Radio Shack PRO-197 scanner and a Galaxy DX-959 CB mounted up in my '04 Yukon XL 2500. I have a 108" whip in the back for my CB, soon to be replaced by a roof mount Wilson 5000, and a mag-mount scanner antenna from Radio Shack, not installed at the time I took the exterior pictures...

My father greatly enjoyed his Radio Shack 300-Channel Trunk Tracker Scanner for quite some time. He just passed and I haven't even turned it on yet because if he has programmed specific channels or other personal choices I don't want to chance losing a part of his history. I live in the...

I bought a Radio Shack 20-176, again... I have purchased about 7 over the past couple years. My question is, if I spray painted this antenna (covering the connector with tape of course) with a clear spray paint, will it effect it's performance at all? I know not to use a paint with metal in it...

I am having a problem with WIN97 It keeps crashing on me when i am trying to do the web import features. It will allow me to do it for a few minutes, then it crashes. Anyone else have this problem? How can I fix this problem?

I have a Radio Shack Pro-97 scanner but dont have the programming cable or the Pro-97 software at this time. I'm trying to program it to carry the frequencies for the Friendswood VFD along with the FVD's of surrounding areas. I cleared the device to factory default and have gotten all of the...

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...

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...
