Hello board. I just bought a new Pro 95 and with it Ibought the "Data-loading Software and Cable" Cat # 20-048 $19.99. That is what Radio Shack told me I needed to down load off the internet. But, I read on a site on the web that what Radio Shack offers does not work properly on the Pro 95. Radio Shack offers another Data Cable cat #20-289 for the Pro 95. My question is, has any one out there used one of the 2 cables offered by Radio Shack and if so, which one should I use?
Radio Shack did down load the chanels for the area I live in (Hemet, California) right in their store, but that is another thing I read in the internet, that R S software is not the best. The young men that sold me the scanner did not know much about scanning at all and I do not think they down loaded the freqs properly. and what I mean by that is that the "trunk EDACS" freqs (800.mhz) were downed loaded in 6 different banks and according to the manuel on page54, it states that "To receive trunking signals, you must store all the trunking control frequencies in one Bank". Long story short- I have not been able to do any monitoring on the Riverside County (EDACS Freqs) at all. I have spent over a week trying to figure this scanner out. I own a Pro 90 and Pro 39 and I have not problems with them at all. but, this scanner is driving me up the wall. Any, any, HELP would be apreciated out there. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to make it right. Please Help...... Ed......here is my personel e-mail if you wish to e-mail me. ETR1STCAV@AOL.COM Thank you in advance.
