I have searched the net for mods to disable the keypad beep on this scanner but I can't find any. Does anyone here know how? I have done it to just about every old RS scanner I have ever owned and this one's next

Any way to disable key beep on Pro-34?

You did not look very hard! #1 on the First google search I did. Pro-34 beep disable.
With the top cover removed as described above, locate connector CN3, a 15-pin connector with colored wires at the front of the main circuit board. There are two procedures which will stop the beep tone from being heard through the speaker; read both to decide which procedure you want to follow.
(1) Find the center grey wire coming from CN3 and cut it midway to disable the beep tone. You may wish to solder a resistor in series to reduce the beep volume, a trimpot to vary the volume of the beep tone, or a minature switch to choose between beep and no beep.
(or)
(2) Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, CAREFULLY pry the plug from CN3, revealing a row of pins. Locate the center pin (#8) which corresponds to the grey wire and bend it down flat, disabling the beep circuit.
Reinsert the plug. The pin may be erected again later to restore the beep tone if desired.
This completes the restoration procedure. Reattach the cover and replace the screws.

This can be done once or twice - then the pin snaps off.wmbio said:

The quote feature is not working today so I am cutting and pasting wmbio's post:

You did not read very well. That is the mod for the Pro-2006, taken from the Radio Shack Mods FAQ on Usenet. I am familiar with that mod because I have done it. There is no Pro-34 beep disable mod in that FAQ.

Off your subject, BUT-there are clock xtals on e-bay for the 34. Speeds it up in scan mode.

Don't go too crazy with the ceramic resonators. It will speed it up, but you'll hop over active frequencies plus the delay time will be reduced
