Pro-97 Programming

[stircrazy]

Hey guys, I have Pro-97 and was wondering how you get it the stop preprograming frequencies. I enter, lets say, 142.335 and it goes to 142.3250. How do I get it to stop that? Any help is good help, thanks guys

PRO-97 step size

Generally speaking you can't control the 'step size' on the PRO-97. This is from page 30 (or 42) of the manual:

All scanners tune by steps. Your RadioShack scanner
uses steps consistent with the latest US or worldwide
standards. If you enter a non-valid step frequency, any
scanner will tune to the next step. Some scanner designs
do this without showing the correct step in the display.
This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the
display. Because steps are so close together, the audio
quality will not be affected by the offset.

page 81 shows the step size for each segment of frequencies.​

Try programming 142.3375, that is the closest you can get.
