I am new to scanning and I live in Walworth Co, Wisconsin and this is my first scanner. I have a Pro 97 scanner from Radio Shack.
Some of these say they use tones. All my entered channels I put under FM mode. How do I enter tones for them? How can I tell if I need tones? I have read the instructions but I do not understand what they are trying to tell me about them. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out. Below is the list of frequencies in Walworth Co as an example of where I live and they're tones of some type. I am wondering if I have frequencines and the reason I never hear anything is because I need a tone or something for them.
