Default Pro-94 "reset" modes; and any other RS scanners?

Hi all,
If anyone was interested, I have reset my Radio Shack Pro-94 scanner
and tested the so-called "reset" modes. I have found the following
results:

!!!!WARNING: Only do this if you are comfortable with having to
reprogram your scanner!!!!!!!!!!
***If you shut the scanner off while it is clearing or whatever (it
takes 5 seconds), the same process will continue when it is turned on
again. In other words, be CAREFUL if you don't want to lose your
memory!
================================================== =========================
Hold the following Flash on screen Result
buttons while turning
scanner on:
2+9 -Clear- Deletes all memory
2+9+Hold -Load- Fills first 500 memories with VHF
freqs
2+9+Scan -Load- Fills first two banks with random
___________________________________frequencies, and the remaining 8
with the ___________________________________same VHF as earlier
2+9+Prog -Load- Radio is stuck in unknown trunking
mode
2+9+Trunk "" ""
2+9+SRC "" In limit search @511MHz, no other
changes
2+9+Alt Nothing Shows 6 zeros, stuck in this mode
2+9+H/S "" Stuck in Weather Alert mode on
162.400
2+9+S/S -Load- Limit search at 173 MHz, no changes
2+9+Light -Load- Limit seach @511 MHz, no changes
2+9+Delay Nothing Stuck showing 6 zeros
2+9+. "" H shows up, staic comes out of
speaker
2+9+E All display shows Pressing some buttons after this
begins ____________________________________normal scan mode, no memory
changes
2+9+0 -Clear- Clears all memories
2+9+3 "" ""
2+9+4 "" ""
2+9+8 "" ""
================================================== ==========================
These are all the modes I could find. If anyone has anything else to
add, whether it is another trick, the results on another scanner,
modifications, or anything at all, leave a reply or email me.
