Pro-94 Programming

[diamond7l]

Hi. This is my first post, so be nice to me! A little about myself. I have been a local volunteer firefighter for the last 5 years. I have owned a RS Pro-94-b for several years and have been able to pick up conventional channels with it without any issues. Within the last year our county (Fire/EMS/Police) has went to a digital system, and I am interested in programming the new system into my scanner.

I have read the manual and the "easier to understand manual" http://marksscanners.co/94AB/94AB.shtml. I have a very basic understanding of how the system and the programming works.

I have also pulled up the frequencies for our area. Fulton County, OH Northwest Ohio Regional Public Safety System Trunking System, Toledo, Ohio - Scanner Frequencies

I still have no idea how to program the info below, into my scanner. Any help?

The PRO-94 can not receive digital. Start saving your pennies and when you get about $400 worth you can buy a digital scanner.

Sadly, what was said above is correct. If you want to be able to continue to monitor, you will need one of the following:

GRE PSR-500 (Handheld)
GRE PSR-600 (Base)
GRE PSR-800 (Handheld)
RadioShack Pro-106 (Handheld)
RadioShack Pro-197 (Base)
RadioShack Pro-18 (Handheld)
Uniden BCD396XT (Handheld)
Uniden BCD996XT (Base)
Uniden HomePatrol (Base)

And some older Unidens:
BCD396T (Handheld)
BCD996T (Base)

It appears (cannot confirm) that the Fire Department is still at least partially transmitted on conventional VHF on 154.31 MHz if that's any help.

Okay! Thank you for the quick responses! It's Christmas, so I' may have to get myself something!

You forgot these two Uniden models:

I intentionally left those, as well as the Pro-96 and Pro-2096, out as his area requires him to have 700MHz trunking. None of those units can do 700MHz.

diamond71, if/when you get your new scanner lets us know, there are many great people here, we will get you up and running, some of those scanners are a little tricky to program
