Pro-96 Review A Look at the Radio Shack Pro-96 I have been fortunate enough to be able to acquire a Radio Shack Pro-96 digital capable scanner (catalog #20-526) from a Radio Shack in El Monte, CA (01-3569). Of course, I had to pay the full retail price of $499.99 plus 8.25% sales tax. The following will be be a brief look and review at this fairly expensive police scanner, from November 2003. Here are various views of the scanner itself, with antenna detached: As can be seen, the above pictures are of the front, back, left side and right side of the scanner (date code 08A03). First impressions: Right out of the box, I started programming the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) digital conventional frequencies. Programming was quite simple, I selected which bank and channel number I wanted first. Then, I press 'PGM' and entered the frequency, followed by 'ENTER'.

Immediately press 'MAN', instead of the digital hashing noise, I heard voices. The digital audio is as clear as digital can be, I found it to be quite similar to what I hear with my AT&T Wireless TDMA service. When reception began to degrade, quite naturally, the scanner began to break up. Programming Motorola trunked systems turned out to be quite easier than on my previous trunk tracking scanner, my Uniden BC245XLT. Though this feature is not new to this scanner, it began with the Radio Shack Pro-92, which I owned for a few weeks before I realized the 'A' version was defective. Best Usb Wifi Extender. All one has to do is program in the data channels for a particular system.

This is a deluxe video on how to quickly program the Pro-106 Digital Trunking Scanner. I have other videos up on this but decided to make a better.

So instead of programming in all 23 voice channels, all that would be programmed would be the 2 or 3 data channels that were used on the system. Programming UHF trunked systems proved to be a bit more of a challenge at first since my manual (date code 07A03) never mentioned that the 3600 trunking mode needed to be on 'Table' but I eventually found that out through other sources. I was trying to program the Glendale ICIS UHF trunking system.
