1000-channel dual-trunking scanner. Discontinued.
The Pro-94A will trunk and scan conventional channels simultaneously unlike the Pro-94. The Pro-94A came out around April of 2000 and scans trunking systems for 1 second instead of 5, and has an auto backlight feature
An updated version of this scanner known as the Pro-94B came out later and features a PC/Cloning interface and a much brighter backlight as well.
A cloning cable may be fabricated using 2 1/8inch mono jacks and shielded cable. See the Programming Cables section of this article for links to compatible cables to connect the PRO94B to a PC.
