Welcome to the Getting Started article for the Pro-93, Pro-95 and Pro-2053. The Pro-95 is essentially the same as the Pro-93 but with a greater channel capacity.
Newcomers often find programming a scanner to be a daunting task. This article links to several resources to help you get started. Note that anything in blue is a link.
The Nuts and Bolts
- If you're a newcomer, you've probably already discovered that there's a huge amount of terms that seem unfamiliar to you. Our Glossary has lots of these terms, along with definitions. Just click on the term you wish to view.
- When looking at frequencies in our database, float your mouse over the column header, and you should get a balloon with a brief description of the terms and abbreviations that are used there.
- The biggest hurdle for many is the concept of trunking. Our Trunking Basics article will get you started, as well as this PDF file written by UPMan. Note that you will need Adobe Acrobat or a compatible reader (such as Foxit) to read it.
- These scanners can't be upgraded for any of the newer protocols that are appearing; these include Project 25, DMR, MOTOTRBO, EDACS Provoice and NXDN
- The Pro-93, Pro-95, and Pro-2053 do not have CTCSS or DCS capabilities. If you're looking for a trunking scanner from this era that can do CTCSS/DCS, the Pro-92 or Pro-2067 might be what you're looking for.

Software
- Popular Software for Radio Shack Scanners
- You will need a USB-serial converter to connect the PC and scanner. With RS gone, the programming cable is harder to find. See the Aftermarket Cables section of the Connecting scanners via USB article.
