Don't have a PC-Need help with my scanner

[kapalua]

I have a PRO-106 that I haven't updated for a couple of years and the traffic I am hearing is VERY minimal. I don't know if it is appropriate to ask if anybody knows of a person or company that I could pay to program my scanner. From all that I have read, it looks like there isn't any software to download for programming on a Mac. I purchased the USB cable from to program my scanner the first time when I had a PC, but now it won't do me any good with my computer. Any advice?

Might call around to the Radio Shack stores in your area and see if they will do it for you.

Scanner Master offers a programming service where you ship your scanner to them and they will program it for you.

Sure, take it to your local library, surely they will have a pc that is not a mac. Your other choice is learn how to program it by hand, OR find another pro-106 user?
I just programmed a 106 yesterday for a ham with limited mobility, but could not take his money.

He could try that but I feel that most libraries would not let him install/run a program on their systems.

Don't ask....don't tell....don't damage!

Any public facility offering use of a PC that doesn't disable all ports (I've seen it actually done with JB Weld) and lock down the system will soon learn the joys of 14 year olds with more knowledge than we have.. A large facility will most likely have both monitoring and filter software in place that will prevent any program installs..
