Win96
Win96 is a software program for the Radio Shack Pro-96 Digital Trunking Scanner and the Pro-2096 "mobile" version. It allows you to read data from the scanner, make changes via the GUI, and write the modified data back. Win96 can also manage the PRO-96's "Virtual Scanner Folders". You can maintain a "library" of data files to be downloaded or shared. Alternatively, you can import and export comma-delimited (CSV) text files.
During Win96's design and creation, its author worked closely with the PRO-96's development team. Due in part to this relationship, Win96 allows full control of all known PRO-96 features, including several that are not documented in the scanner's manual. These "extra" features include, (but are not necessarily limited to):
- Virtual Scanner Management
- Extended Trunking Tables
- "Battery Low" level control
- Changing the scanner's power-on display text
- Open up extended frequency ranges (minus cellular)

[edit] Integration with the RadioReference.com Web service
Win96 has the native ability to access the RadioReference.com database directly using the RadioReference.com Web Service. It is done thru a simple Win96 Web import:

- Other Methods of Importing data
- Data can also be copy/pasted via Excel. See the Excel Copy/Paste Special to Software article for the procedures on how to accomplish this.
- Win96 can also import CSV formatted data, but it requires extensive reformatting for it to recognize this file type. See the file specification for more information.
