I buy each scanner when it comes out. I only kept the 94 long enough to turn around and take it back. The secret to all scanners, this day and time, is software. You never hear the people with software complain about there scanner not working right. They may have an issue with some small feature they dont understand, but all is overcome when it's programmed correctly. Good Luck, Larry

Well mostly the 97 works different, Read the manual on open and closed mode that should allow you to hear every thing (open mode) or just stored talk groups (closed mode). Also read up on subbanks for the IDS that should allow you to select certain IDS to monitor. I have a 94 and a 97 although I do like the 97 alot better there where some good features on the 94

You need to "close" the bank to receive only the talkgroups you specified. Check page 79 of your Pro 97 users manual.
