I programed only the CC for a 800 P25 system but I'm not picking up anything my Pro-197 picks up and they sitting beside each other, I changed the 3600 baud reband on Win96 that didn't help, Are am I missing something

P25 is 9600. Are 3600 and 9600 both set to Normal? You cannot use the Tinker Creek site. The PRO-96 cannot trunk track 700 MHz frequencies. Try entering all 4 of the control channel capable frequencies in the Union 800 MHz site. They may have switched to an alternate.

The PRO-96 is prone to frequency drift on 800 MHz frequencies. You may need to adjust VR4 inside the scanner to get it to work.

It's a pot on the circuit board. Best not to mess with it if you don't know what it is
OP contacted me by PM. I have been working with him there. I recently received a message that the scanner is working now. i am waiting to hear if that was a result of adjusting VR4.
Got a reply from the OP. It was the VR4 adjustment that got it working.
