Pro-106 won't accept 801.5 - 804mhz

[rudyh83634]

I discovered that the scanner defaults to 806mhz if I enter anything between
801.5 and 804.0 mhz. Outside this range is ok

The spec. (users guide) says covers 764 - 806mhz with 3.125khz steps.

Anyone seen the same problem or have a fix?

Thanks

Yes mine does that also, have wondered about it but guess that is the way it is. Was hoping someone would have a cure fot that. Don't ask the SHACK

Ask GRE...they make the scanner for Rat Shack

For what it's worth.... I was curious about this so I tried that range on a Uniden 996XT and it took it without a problem.

Here's my guess. If it is in trunking mode it will not accept those freqs. because they are the mobile freqs. and it can't track them. You can enter them as conventional freqs.

Nope, 106 will not load them as conventional either. As noted above defaults to 806.
So the GRE and 106 are not totally alike. Firmware difference?

I beg to differ, my 106 and 163 both take a conventional frequency of 765.4375 with a CTCSS tone. I have to program the 163 by hand, but, the 106 takes it with the Win500 software.

My pro-106 has this range blocked out .

796.996875-805.9999

Don't know the reason.

With current firmware, the entire PSR-500 family (PSR-500, PSR-600, PRO-106, PRO-197) has the following 700/800MHz ranges included / excluded:
* 764.000000 - 781.996875
* 782.000000 - 790.996875
* 791.000000 - 796.996875
* 797.000000 - 805.996875
* 806.000000 - 823.987500
* 824.000000 - 848.987500
* 849.000000 - 868.987500
* 869.000000 - 893.987500

Thanks Don. Any particular reason you are aware of?
