Going insane... Pro 164 and Skywarn Help

[dvdmizer]

I cannot belive how hard it is to find GOOD information about the Pro 164 scanner on the internet. I have had this scanner ( my 1st ) for about 2 months now and the main reason why I bought it is for the Skywarn feature. I want 2 B able to follow my local Bad weather. I have all of the frequencies and I cannot figure out how to program the feq's into the Skywarn place. According to the #@#&*@#* Manual if you want to call it that LOL....the freq must be programed into 999. I have gone to my (2) local RS places and belive it or not they R as clueless as I am.

Someone somewhere out there is an EXPERT with this radio.

Please help and thanks a million.

marksscanners.com is an excellent source for easy to understand scanner manuals. You can find good information there for the Pro-164 by using the manual for the Pro-2055 (I believe it is). They are similar in features and operation, along with the Pro 162 and 163 models.
