| − | I bought a Pro-95 a few months ago. For the most part it’s a great scanner. I was looking for something that did
| |
| − | trunking, and was leaning mostly towards a hand held unit. I mostly use it for trunking systems, as I have other
| |
| − | equipment for the other bands. The Pro-95 receives on 4 public service bands, 6 HAM bands, the marine band, the
| |
| − | air band, and the CB band. (I did like the fact it received on the CB band and 220 HAM band, a feature left out
| |
| − | on many scanners.) The small rubber duck antenna that comes with the scanner performs fairly well. It has a BNC
| |
| − | connector for an external antenna, however turning on the built-in attenuator is a must when using an external
| |
| − | antenna. Overall, a pretty good scanner, especially for the price I got it at, $150.

| − | please guys and girls i cant belive you are giving the pro-95 this much credit this scanner is junkee the air
| |
| − | bands sound like one big plane the audio sucks in it and the complecations of the scanner is overwelming it is
| |
| − | very hard to work the scanner and program,at the time i was a rookie in scanning and my local radioshack dealer
| |
| − | said it was a begginer scanner i highly disagree,PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR RADIOSHACK THEY HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW A RADIO
| |
| − | WORKS AND DONT HAVE A CLUE ON HOW "THEIR" PRODUCT WORKS!!!!!! I RATE THIS SCANNER A D+

| − | My Score: 4.5 stars<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | I actually traded in a Bearcat handheld and $70 at a local pawn shop for my Pro-95, practically new and programed,
| |
| − | in the box, with all manuals and printouts for my area. This is my 1st trunking scanner, however I use it mainly to
| |
| − | monitor everything but the trunked frequencies. There's just not that much going on around here that interests me
| |
| − | concerning that. Reception is great on all bands with the stock antenna, trunked or not. Maybe the previous poster
| |
| − | had a defective unit...I work at KCHS, and can recieve all aircraft transmissions crystal clear, even when I'm at
| |
| − | home. Reception is good enough to actually do some body blocking directional finding of distant VOR signal codes,
| |
| − | and ELT locating (which I have used this scanner for, and found the downed aircraft). The alpha-tagging is great.
| |
| − | I'll never own another scanner that doesn't have this feature. 1000 channels, I still have 800 left to fill.
| |
| − | All in all, I am extremely pleased with this scanner. Like my wrist watch, palm pilot and car keys, this thing is
| |
| − | with me all the time. The only reason I don't give it a 10....the manual is absolutely horrible. Other than that,
| |
| − | if I hadn't paid $70 for the thing, I would have gladly paid the MSRP and still be just as happy.

| − | I've had the Pro95, took it back to Radio Shack, what the problem is, the AM Aircraft Band sounds like FM white
| |
| − | noise, and for those of us who enjoy monitoring the Aviation band I dont suggest buying this radio, because it sucks
| |
| − | royally, when you have FM White Noise in the Aviation Frequencies it wont pick up Aircraft worth a darn. Seems they
| |
| − | didnt make Aviation Monitoring a Priority, other than that, its good for everything else.

| |
| − | | |
| − | the pro 95 is an excellent scanner, Just upgraded from a pro-94 a month ago. Nice features like text tagging for freqs
| |
| − | and talk group id's. just wish they would have added a ctcss board on it to filter out unwanted agencys/users in
| |
| − | conventional mode. All in all though I give the scanner 2 thumbs up.

| − | Radio Shack's Pro-95 Dual Trunking Handheld scanner is Super! I paid $200 august 2003, i originally bought
| |
| − | one in 2002 but it malfunctioned (my fault) and i had to get a new one. I love that this scanner has the Alph-Text
| |
| − | tags so you know what you are listening to instead of having to go through a list of freqencies to know who is talking.
| |
| − | Another excellent feature is the 1000 channel storage...enough free channels for anything i want to program. Very nice
| |
| − | design, decent battery life, has tons and tons of features. My second scanner, i originally bought a Pro-42 off ebay
| |
| − | used, this is WAY more high-tech. I would recommend this to all for the price. Once I get a job i plan on upgrading to
| |
| − | the Pro-96 probably, but for less than half the cost of the 96 this has a lot of the same great features for a fraction
| |
| − | of the cost. I would recommend this to all, excellnt price for an excellent product. Im sure its about $100-$150ish now
| |
| − | that it isnt the newest RS Model.

| − | I purchased the Pro-95 in December 04, for $149.00-on sale at RS. It was the first Trunked Radio Scanner I have
| |
| − | owned, and I must say, I am impressed! Learning curve was steep and at times frustrating. I agree with another
| |
| − | reviewer about the owner's manual-it is pathetic and needs to be rewritten. The text tags are great, as is the
| |
| − | ability to store 1000 channels. I've found reception in the Salem, OR./Portland,OR. area to be exceptional, except
| |
| − | for the CB channels. For some reason, even close to I-5, I do not receive a lot of CB radio traffic, which seems
| |
| − | odd, as I-5 gets so much truck traffic. Having owned this scanner for over 5 months now, I wouldn't trade it for
| |
| − | anything. It is by far the best scanner I have ever owned and I use it every day. Mr.Barbecue, Salem, OR.

| − | This FREE programs has saved me countless hours of programing and researching for frequencies. I bought the 20-289 cable at Radio Shack for $19.99 plus tax. Useing the software I can now program in the blocked military and other freqs which is great since I live near a Air Force/National Guard/USCG base. THANKS SO MUCH.
