PRO-95 And PRO-2096

[southeastjuggalo1]

I am looking for someone out here that might be able to help me with programming my scanners.
I have been trying to pick up "Marietta Post OHP" and for some reason the Freqs I put in doesn't seem to work or I'm doing something wrong. Could someone help me out please. PS I would like all my surrounding Freqs for this area. I'm in Southeast Ohio

Are you programming it as a Motorola trunked frequency or a conventional frequency?

 

[southeastjuggalo1]

I Think they are MO but I'm not certain. I was using 800 Mega Hertz

The Pro-95 will not work for OSP as it is not digital capable (OSP is on Ohio MARCS).

For the Pro-2096, make sure the system is set to Motorola Type II and that you have the control channel frequencies for the sites in Washington County properly programmed.

Okay How do I know that everything is properly programmed and set correctly?

 

[KI5FKE]

Make sure that you set the trunk mode to Motorola when programming. You only need the use the control channel frequencies.

Hit the MAN key on the scanner and see if you hear a buzzing sound.

 

[southeastjuggalo1]

Yes it hisses

 

[KI5FKE]

Does it make a sound similar to this: http://www.w2sjw.com/sounds/Moto3600 Type-II Fast.mp3

Ok what is the difference between Dual Trunking And Digital Trunking?

 

[KI5FKE]

Ok what is the difference between Dual Trunking And Digital Trunking?

Dual trunking: only 2 trunking systems can be monitored (analog only)

Digital trunking: digital and analog trunking (2 or 3 trunking system depending on scanner)

 

[southeastjuggalo1]

Ok I think my PRO-2096 is working correctly and I'm guessing the PRO-95 don't pick up what I'm trying to pick up because it is a dual trunking

So are you receiving any traffic on your Pro-2096 from the Ohio MARCS - Multi-Agency Radio Communications system?

 

[southeastjuggalo1]

Yes I believe so. I was trying to get my PRO-95 to do the same thing but someone said it will not pick up the Marcs SYSTEM

 

[KI5FKE]

Sounds good!!! Happy scanning!

TY How much do you think a handheld Digital would run me?

Depends on where you buy it from... Some run close to $500 brand new.

And the cheapest but decent and maybe a good place to look

 

[KI5FKE]

You can look at eBay; that's where I got my Pro-2096 from. Had it since October of 2012 and is still operating. I am looking for another digital scanner so that I can monitor without missing anything.

 

[southeastjuggalo1]

I called my local Radio Shack and they said $110.00 was the cheapest and it was a PRO-404 not sure if that's a good one or not tho
