PRO-106 CB "search with scan" function?

[del1964]

Programming my Dad's PRO-106 (I have a Uniden BCD396XT) and he's wanting to scan through the CB frequencies while he's doing his regular Indiana SAFE-T 800 Mhz scanning. The Uniden scanner I have has a "search with scan" feature. Does Radio Shack PRO-106 have a similar feature or do you have to program in all 40 CB freq's and have it in it's own scan list?
Thanks,

Pro-106 cb

I have had a Pro-106 from the year they came out, and am not aware of that feature. Easiest solution would be to import the CB channels to an open bank.

On my pro-106 I'm able to press search and It will scan through CB/Marine/GMRS/Railroad/ext. You can also press pause and go to tha channel and store it into a scan bank.

I have both and the 106 does not have that feature.

Program a new service search for the CB band,select the CB channels to search, and assign it to the same scan list as the SAFE-T scan.

Think I'll try this suggestion. Thanks

The 106 will receive CB as stated by the previous posts but don't expect miracles from the 106 for these frequencies. This is pretty much the low end of the receiver circuits in it and the radio and antenna are certainly not optimized for the 27 MHz band. You'll need to be pretty close to the transmitter to get much reception. Putting a CB tuned antenna, preferably external, would help quite a bit.

With ARC 500 you can store search objects such as Limit Search,Service Search and Spectrum Search in any scan list.
