Pro 94 "On Save" "Off Save"

[mlevin]

Just came about this on my Pro 94 and was wondering what it does. When I hit the priority button while I turn the radio on, the screen flashes "Off Save" If I turn the scanner off, then do it again, the screen flashed "On Save" . The scanner seems to be operating the same as before, so what did I do?

What you are doing, is turning the battery save on and off...this is the feature where, when you park on a channel in manual, it only checks the freq every few seconds. This is supposedly to extend battery life. I have it turned off on mine. I wish I could turn it off on my GRE radios...

Dang, you guys are smart. I think this only works when NOT TRUNKING.

You are correct, Sir!

Copol guys thanks alot. I couldn't find the manual, and I don't use the 94 alot, so not really familiar with the radio.

power save only works when in manual mode (no scanning, trunking, etc.). Reference the S symbol.

why would you want to turn the battery save off?

Power save off - PRO-94

I turn mine off when I have it plugged in. It helps to avoid missing the first 1/2 second of a transmission.

Because you can miss the first part of a conversation with it on. With battery save, and manually stopped on a channel, it's not continuously monitoring the channel. It turns off for a bit, then back on to check for activity, kind of like Priority does. With battery save off, it's continuously monitoring the channel, and you're less likely to miss the first part of the conversation...

Battery Save only activates while manually parked on a channel, so most of the time, you won't see it activate, anyway...

The PRO-95 works the same way, but there is a way around it.
If you want to sit on a conventional channel, push program
instead of manual. The battery saver is disabled in program mode.

Is there any mods for teh Pro 94...like to open up Military Air or any other Frequency opening?...and can this be done by the keypad.

With the new PRO-94 B's they can be opened,.. but no one has yet gotton to writing the programming software ...... As to keypad tricks,... none that do fancy programming bypass/overide functions yet.....

I have a feeling that someone will show off their computer super hacker genius and do a mod plug or code plug/software interface soon.

Here is the 94 family history:

PRO-94 TT-2, Can't scan conventional and TT at the same time.... and can't put conventional and trunked in same bank.
Pro-94 A TT-2, Can do both conventional and TT at same time and can do both in same bank.
PRO-94 B TT-2, Now has an PC/IF port BUT- NO SOFTWARE to program/PC Control YET!

PRO-2052 TT-2, can't do TT and conventional together, but does have mil air, and fully PC Programmable, and Controllable.

Both 1000 Chan., TT-2's that do Motorola I, II, and IIi, as well as EDACS Analog.
