Thank you MCIUPA for your fast reply. Went to RS yesterday and purchase a Pro 163 scanner. Had them program it for me. I don't think they got it right. I plugged it in this morning and have heard nothing. They used Scancat-Lite-Plus software to program this scanner. <It is known as scancr**p
>
The RS manual is a little confusing. <Without a doubt. If I hadn't had previous experience with a Pro-97, I'd a been lost.>
May need an outside antenna, since I live outside of Sapulpa. <If you live between Kellyville and Sapulpa, put in the Kellyville tower CC's.
Do I need to use a different software and try to program this myself? <Without a doubt! Get the USB programming cable at RS. Then go download Win97 at:
Software for RadioShack PRO-series (PRO-92, 93, 95, 96, 97, 99, 163, 164, 106, 197) and GRE PSR-series (PSR-500, 600, 300, 400) scanners DonS lurks here on RR and will gladly help you if you have problems. Plus it has a thirty day free trial. A premium subscription to RR also allows you to download what you want to put in the scanner via the software.>
All help greatly appreciated.
