What did I do? HELP!

Hi,

Somehow, one of the keypad buttons got pressed on my Pro-95. Up until then it was scanning and pulling up the "alpha tags" with no problems and only hearing those "talk groups" I wanted to monitor.

Now, it doesn't display any of the alpha tags but does give a talk group number and
the frequency (out of 25) that that unit is transmitting on.

I don't have a manual and I've even gone to Rat $hack's site and looked at the book.
Nada, as usual. :-(

Does ANYONE have an idea? The "clerks" at the Rat $hack store only know about
cell 'phones and maybe batteries. They're dumber that a box of rocks.

I'm disabled and would like to get it going again. Scanning and ham radio entertain
me during the week and I watch NASCAR on Friday nights, Saturday & Sunday, LOL!

Have you tried the "text" button ?

Curt is correct when the radio stops on a TGID hit text http://myweb.cableone.net/marksscanners/95/95.html#text_code
That online manual is much better than the original http://myweb.cableone.net/marksscanners/95/95.html

Cool Guys, Thanks!

Thanks Guys!

It's back in text mode. I'll save the link, just-in-case, ha ha ha.

Well "Shoot" ("BANG!&quot, LOL!

Well,

I got up this morning, turned the Pro-95 on and it goes into "scanning", but never
"locks" on the data channel now......"Sniddy Rot-oh-frutz!" We've got severe wx
coming and I'd love to be able to monitor the FD frequencies from around the area.

Guess, since I don't have Excel on the wife's computer and mine is "toast", I'll just
re-initialize the Pro-95 and start from "scratch" again, hand-programming the freq's
and talk groups. Now, if I can just "remember" how I did it before, LOL!

I'm not getting "old", I'm just drawing my "Maturing Benefits" real early.

I'm going to be on 146.67 (-600) and the 147.15 (+600) repeaters today, assisting
K5-SHV, the S'port Wx Service with Skywarn.
