My PRO-95, which I have used and abused for the last 3 or 4 years, has developed 2 unrelated (I think) issues, which I would love to get some advice on addressing.
1) When I first got it, I programmed a bank for the Richardson, Texas, EDACS system. It worked great on my infrequent trips there, but some months ago, the audio went silent. It still scans, and still shows talk group information when it locks onto a transmission.... but no audio. The kicker is, that if I go to manual and step through the freq's, I get the audio fine when I happen to hit an active channel. I'm not aware of making any changes to the programming, and the RR database has the same data it always had... so I am frustrated! The scanner works great on Motorola trunked systems. And... speaking of manual operation:
Issue 2) From time to time in manual mode, the scanner just dies. Display goes blank, nothing comes through, except that the audio section apparently still works, because rotating the volume knob gives me the dirty-potentiometer scratchy noise.
Any ideas? And I know, I've gotta replace it with a digital unit eventually, but I'm going crazy over the GRE vs. RS discussions. The two scanners are so different, I can't decide which one is right for me! And I can't afford to buy both! HELP!
