The Pro-2055 was manufactured for Radio Shack by GRE America Inc
The same scanner as the Pro-97 but as a base/mobile. Trunk tracker three technology. Can use Win97 to program with your computer. Note that due to firmware limitations, computer control is not possible.
This unit can be used as a desktop scanner or mounted in a vehicle.* Alphanumeric display shows ID code or can be programmed with service name. Backlit display and keypad for low-light use. Clones with the popular PRO-97 handheld scanner (#20-527).
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Rebanding supported? NOT KNOWN It appears that the scanner must be returned to Radio Shack for a logic and display board retrofit 'if' it is to be supported.
- See this article on the Strong Signals website for more information, or 800Reband - WPAScanner Radio Shack Scanner Rebanding Chart that has contradictory information as reported by Montioring Times, Radio Rumors. The fist link information pertains to the Pro-97; however it is assumed that the support will be applied in a similar manner. More information is required.
- A cloning cable may be fabricated using 2 1/8 inch mono jacks and shielded cable
