PRO-92 FAQ

This is a list of commonly asked questions about the Radioshack PRO-92 scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I make my PRO-92 track rebanded Motorola systems?

If you have an original model PRO-92 with Firmware version 1.00, all you need to do is program the rebanded frequencies. Since the A and B models use an updated firmware version with control channel trunking, you cannot trunktrack rebanded Motorola systems with them.

• My scanner receives interference/other users on a channel with a PL tone/talkgroup programmed, how do I fix this?

You need to close the bank. Stop on a channel in that bank and look at the top right corner. There should be a + to the left of the mode indicator. Press FUNC and then 2. You should see "Bank CLOSED" on the bottom line of the display, and the + should be a - now.

• Do I need to program LTR frequencies in logical order?

No. You can program them in any order you like, and you can also program them in the same bank as conventional channels. EDACS systems are the only one you need to program in logical order and have to be by themselves in a bank.

• Can my PRO-92 do digital?

No. The PRO-92 cannot do digital systems or digital voice modes on trunked systems it supports. A supported list of systems and voice modes can be found on the PRO-92 page.

• Can I do computer control with the PC/IF port?

No. The PC/IF port is only operational for receiving and sending configuration data.

• I'm receiving interference from a nearby frequency. What should I do?

If you have a nearby frequency spectrum wise (e.g. 154.980 and 154.995), you need to program the PL/DPL tone for the weaker frequency, or both if they cause interference over each other. The PRO-92 is not a narrowband receiver, so nearby strong signals may cause interference.
