It is easier to program your scanner with software, Win96 is the best. All you need for your scanner is the Control Channels (red and blue frequencies in the Database here), also check the Wiki here for instructions on programing your scanner. Getting Detroit from outside the city is difficult but it is on MPSCS Site 701. Also with a subscription to the site and WIN96 software, you can directly import from the database here.
Welcome to the site.

tsnk if you get a subscription to the site and WIN96 software, you can directly import from the database here. and i would say in about 5 mint,s time or less you will have your scanner up

and running with no problem,s at all

It is a large task to program MPSCS with out the WIN96 software, Macomb County has 110 talkgroups on MPSCS and the MPSCS system has 1828, the city of Warren's system is 51 talkgroups on it's system. The link to the WIKI for the PRO96 is:http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Pro-96. It has links to the software and programging cable information, I have a PRO96 and a PRO2096 and would never try to do MPSCS without software.
Good luck
Jim

For manual programming, and just getting used to how to operate your PRO-96, this should help:

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Programming_Shortcut_Pro-96

For starters, just program the control channel frequencies for the towers in your area. They're the ones in red, on RR's database. Then scan in open mode, and you'll hear everything, without having to program any talk-groups. That will give you something to listen to, while you learn the rest!

Good scanning!

ok i entered the talkgroup ids. and text tags for all of them. but how do i scan through only those. when i scan it seems to pick up a bunch of talk groups i didnt put in...think i just got it lol. func+5 to for closed bank mode
