The Pro-107 iScan radio was manufactured for Radio Shack by GRE America Inc.

The Radio Shack PRO-107 iScan is a Multi-Trunking scanner which boasts the ability to track Motorola type I/II systems, LTR and EDACS trunking systems using the Radioreference database on an included 2GB Secure Digital card.

The Pro-107 uses a proprietary software package and a supplied USB/power cable. Firmware updates are possible on this radio via the PC/IF->USB port.

General Specifications

  • Rebanding supported? YES iScan will import tables for identified rebanded systems from the RadioReference database.

Problems experienced with this scanner by purchasers:

  1. Glitchy software. Latest updates are more stable than original release but software is still not 100% stable.
  2. Battery indicator unreliable.
  3. Signal meter not visible on "playing" screen. No way to indicate if trunk system is getting signal.
  4. LCD screen goes blank in two scenarios;
    1. when light is left on for an extended period of time.
    2. when unit is used reguarly. Possible faulty LCD screens are being used in this scanner.
  5. No belt clip with scanner.
  6. No power port other than using a USB cable.
  7. No lock out button function. On many occassions the scanner buttons will easily be pushed to stop scanning during normal carry.
  8. Update database not updated instantly. Documented as many as 8 days between update and what was listed on Radio Reference.
  9. Stock antenna is useless, more so than any other stock rubber-duck ever experienced. Might as well come without one.
  10. Poor support from Radio Shack per customer experiences of picking up the telephone and calling them. No infomation for e-mail support experiences.

Memory Capacity

  • Conventional channels, each in two playlists: 8 million
  • Trunked systems, minimum 20 talkgroups per system: 6 thousand
  • Trunked systems, every possible talkgroup (~65,000) in every system: 151
  • Minimum number of total talkgroups (@ one per system, 6000 systems): 6 thousand
  • Maximum number of total talkgroups (@ ~65,000 per system, 151 systems): 9.8 million
  • Entire USA RadioReference database imported (including digital): twice

The software will NOT allow digital talkgroups including those used with NACs as well as regular tones to be imported. The update database needs to list those talkgroups and frequencies that are dual use for digital and conventional in a separate column for the software to import into the scanner. This scanner is not a digital scanner and therefore will not import any digital TGs nor frequencies listed as such.

Radio will monitor PL's or, "Icalls". Just enter the private radio ID into the talkgroup field and select "private" field in the software.

  • Conventional channels: limited only by SD Card space and max FAT32 file size
  • Trunked systems: limited only by SD Card space
  • Sites per system: limited only by SD Card space
  • Frequencies per site: fixed at 32 (yes, I know it's too many)
  • Talkgroups per system: limited only by SD Card space, up to maximum for system type
