Hello everyone

new here... just got myself a Pro-96 while it was on sale for only 200
bux, not bad I think.

anyways, I live in Boca Raton, FL and would like to tune into their
PD.

I also wanted to setup PBSO, and miami dade and whatnot, but i'm
reading the manual here and i'm bit confused.... I got this one

knowing
it is APCO-25 capable, so i should def be able to listen to most if

not
all PDs.

any help is appreciated, thanks!

What I did (I don't know if its that easy... I probably did it wrong)
is -

PGM - FUNC then went up and picked bank 9, ch 01

pressed trunk until motorola came up.

went back to PGM and then put in 853.7875 (Boca Raton Police-F1-Main
Dispatch) that I got from here -

and pressed scan for bank 9.... nothing comes up however =/







Entering JUST the one freq will not always work with the
the trunked digital systems.

Here is the Radio Freference info on the freq for your city area.

then get a copy of Don Starr,s Win96 program and the
Radio Shack USB-scanner interface cable CAt#20-047

You can Download and try the program free for 30 days

IMHO:
its WELL WORTH buying it..
