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.

Database Hierarchy

  • The scanner has a menu-driven version of the RR DB's hierarchy:

Code: States

 Agencies
   Categories
     Subcategories
       Frequencies
 Counties / Independent Cities
   Agencies
     Categories
       Subcategories
         Frequencies
   Categories
     Subcategories
       Frequencies
   Systems
     Sites
     Talkgroup Categories
       Talkgroups
 Systems
   Sites
   Talkgroup Categories

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.

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.
