Desktop/Mobile Scanner Programming Software?

[jerneedog]

Hey all,

I have two handheld scanners, SC200 and Pro-95, and I'm interested in a Desktop/Mobile Scanner, that has free software to program it like Win95 for the Pro-95. Digital is still out of my price range right now.

I haven't really checked into the Desktop/Mobile scanners before, so I really have no clue as to which models have programing software.

Thanks for any help.

You could find a used PRO-2067. Win92 is free and will program it. If you don't mind buying software (it don't cost that much) then you could be open to a whole lot more radios.

Another possibility (that I'm about to buy one of these days) is the PRO-2053. It's basically a destop version of the Pro-93. That's the 500 channel older version of the Pro-95

The 2053 is 300ch, just like the Pro 93. Thanks to a member here, I have a matching set of a 93 & 2053 in addition to the 2053 I already had.

If you have a decent size vechicle, it could work. I just installed the 2053 in my bronco with a temporary mount. I'll try to post some pics when I can.

The 2053 has a very good rx

You can convet your 95 files to 93 & 92 for free also.

300...500... one of them numbers!

I miss my Broncos. I had a 78 that I restored and "enhanced". It didn't survive getting broad-sided by an Impala though.

With the mere pittance the insurance company gave me, I bought an 88. It died after a fight with terminal rust and engine failure.

Now I'm in an Explorer. I like the trips to the gas station a bit more, but I sure do miss the rumble of that 351M through twin flowmasters!

Now if I can figure out the best way to mount a scanner in this critter.... :wink:

Duct Tape and Bailing wire my friend. Duct tape and bailing wire. :wink:

Funny you say that, my other car is a 94 Caprice

What year exployer & what scanner are you wanting to mount?


I had an old company truck that was a 90 Bronco II. It was cramped, but it had room for a maxtrac, uniden 700 (small scanner, I know), pro 90, and my 2mte mobile.


You can always take out the passanger seat :lol: Think of all the gear you could mount.

Hmmm..... I could mount my Pro-95 right in the middle of the steering wheel, then run the bailing wire from the power plug to the battery....!! :lol:

Oh wait.... air bag.... hmm... might hurt having the scanner removed after deployment! :shock:

Well... don't broadside a full sized Bronco driving over 50. You won't like the results! :shock:

It's a 2000 4 door. Right now I just have the Pro-95 I take along with me. I'd like to mount it to make it easier to see and hear. It rides ok in the cup holder though. Eventually I'll be mounting a 796D or maybe a 2096 (if I can stand the silver or bring myself to repaint a $500 unit!). Unless I run across a deal on a 2053 first... :lol:

Hmmm.....scanners... radios... laptops... tv.... heck..... it even solves the arguments of which kid gets to ride up front!! :lol:

Ok... that's it... I'm off to find a mag mount DISH antenna!! :twisted:
