A PRO-96 QUESTION

[Colin9690]

Hi Everyone,

I have a question for anyone who owns a Radioshack PRO-96:

I currenty own a PRO-93 and i am thinking about upgrading because many agencies are now digital or about to turn digital in the Columbus Area. Now here's my question, there is a Budweiser Plant near my house and they use a Motorola SmartNet system with Digital Encryption. Since the PRO-96 is a Digital Scanner, can it listen to this system that uses Digital Encryption???


Thanks Guys,
Colin

No scanner can monitor encrypted comms. It's illegal per the FCC rules and regs. The Pro 96 can monitor Apco 25 digital systems that aren't encrypted. The Pro 96 is a great choice for a scanner. Go for it.

Yeah it does sound like a good scanner how good is the reception, because i love how my PRO-93 receives, it is like a base station built into a walkie! How good is the PRO-96 Reception? How about the sound?

Both sound quality (ona analog and digital) Get an A+. It also recieves great as well. Especially if you have the 800 MHz antenna from RS.

Almost every Anheuser-Busch plant that's listed in the RR database uses fulltime encryption.

I guess when ya got a boatload of money, you might as well waste it on something like that
