I can't get Pro96Com to work with my Pro 96. I followed the instructions (go to a control channel, press program, function, program program), plugged it in and nothing happens. I can get Win96 to work with my Pro 96 and Pro96Com to work with my Pro 106, both with the same cable. Am I doing something wrong?

I forget the exact sequence, but the the keys are different for using a Pro-96 with Win96 and Pro96Com. I know I found the correct key combination in the Pro96Com, but that was back before I sold my 96.

EDIT: From page 3 of the Pro96Com v1.9.4 PDF... [PGM], [FUNC], [PGM], [PGM]. That's [PGM] twice after function.

It appears OP used same same.
You may need to edit Decode Configuration to match 96/2096. Default is last scanner used...500/600/106/197 for example.

Thanks Fmon, you are absolutely right... I missed the 2nd [PGM]. I think when I saw the comment about it working with Win96, I more focused on that. Thanks again for the catch/correction...
Dewey
Yeah I changed that too. When I press decode from radio all it does is disable to backlight.

Hello Flintstone4680,
Never mind. I see you already tried what I was going to mention.

I admit I haven't connected my PRO-96 to Pro96Com in quite some time, so I'd have to dig it out and test it. The last time I did test it thought it was working as well as can be expected.
What cable type are you using to communicate with the scanner? With the PRO-96, Pro96Com has to take an active roll in getting the data from the scanner. It has to request the control channel data and then act on the response (if any).
Assuming you're using a GRE or RS USB Cable, are you seeing any activity on the LEDs in the box in the middle of the cable?
Mike
Yeah I got the RS USB one with the orange box. Works fine with other software/scanner combos just not this one.

Are you seeing any activity on the LEDs on the USB cable while it's trying to decode data?
Mike
Not working for me as well. Its receiving the signal but not decoding anything. I was told that was due to the fact that the system is listed as p25 but has analog mixed in it. Will it still decode the digital if i sit on it for awhile or will i get nothing?

P25 with analog is likely a Motorola 3600 system <Smartzone> which Pro96com is not designed for.

Fmon may have hit it right on the head, why not try Unitrunker:

I just did some reading on Pro96Com, the 96 would have to be tapped for it to work with Unitrunker, so, I made a mistake.
The MPSCS in Michigan (9600 baud all P25). It works fine with my Pro 106 like I said???
Also yes the LED's flash when I press decode data from radio.

Awesome.
Even better.
Which site are you monitoring? What are the control channels? Are you certain the channel you selected is the active control channel?
Genesee County simulcast (control frequency 868.8875). Yes, the same control channel works just fine with the Pro 106 (third time I've said that).
is the PRO96 able to follow conversations from this site? Can you hear any voice traffic at all? What firmware version does your '96 have?
