Hello
I'm new to scanning and just purchased a used Pro 97 scanner. Do I need to purchase the software to program this scanner? So far the only thing that comes in clear is the weather band. I have not been able to program any local channels. If I can get this scanner to work I would also like to purchase a antenna that will enable me to get reception from further away cities. Can someone tell me realistically how far away in miles should an indoor scanner antenna expect to receive?
I also would like to know if there are such things as scanning clubs where I could learn more about my scanner and scanning in general? I know they have ham radio clubs but do they use scanners too?
Thank You
Ron
