Pro-107

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

Operating Tips

Also see the Object Oriented Scanning tips article for additional information

• Import System

• Importing an entire system requires these steps:
  • 1. Press MENU key to display main menu
  • 2. Select "Browse Library". You're presented with a list of states.
  • 3. Scroll down to and select state. You're presented with the 3-item "Agencies / Counties / Systems" menu.
  • 4. Scroll down to and select Systems (this shows all statewide systems).
  • 5. Press SEL key to select the system.
  • 6. Press MENU and select "Import Selected"
  • 7. Select target playlists for talkgroups
  • 8. Press MENU and select "Import Now"
  • 9. Wait while scanner parses DB files and builds its run-time data files/structures.
• Note: If you only wanted a few Sites / Talkgroups, you wouldn't select the entire system in step 5. Instead, you'd drill into the system and select individual sites, categories, and/or talkgroups.

• Delete Playlist/Object

• In order to delete more than one object at a time, you must use the included PC software. Put the SD card into a card reader attached to the PC, run the PC software, and select the "Copy Configuration from SD Card" item on the "SD Card" menu. (You'll be prompted to select the "removable disk" that corresponds to the SD Card). You should now see the data programmed on the SD Card.

• At this point, the data on the SD Card has not been changed; it has been copied to the PC. After performing any edits described below, you'll need to copy the data back to the SD Card via the "SD Card" menu. The PC software only manipulates its local copy of the data, which should be in \My Documents\iScan.

• Deleting all objects in a playlist is done on the "Playlists" tab at the bottom of the window. You first select the target playlist via the drop-down at the top, then select some/all of the objects by clicking on the row headers (the 4-digit numbers under "POS"). Normal Windows "multi-select" options work: CTRL+leftClick, SHIFT+leftClick, CTRL-A.

• Do you want to actually delete the objects, or do you want to merely remove them from a playlist (in case they're in more than one)? If the former, click the Delete Channel button. If the latter, click the Remove Channel button.

• Note that if you use the "remove" option and the objects are only in one playlist, the objects will still exist - you just won't ever be able to see them on the scanner; you'll have to return to the PC software to put them in at least one playlist.

• If the objects you want to delete are talkgroups, and you want to delete the entire trunked system, you can (and probably should) do that via the "Trunked Radio Systems" tab, which will be available if you set the "Simple Display" item on the "General Settings" tab to OFF.
