I bought a PRO-95 and since they didn't have the cable in stock decided to read the manual. I'm glad I did. It is easy

Is it really that important to get the scanner pre-loaded with local
frequencies? Less than 2 months ago I bought a PRO-95 and didn't even
bother to ask if they could load it. Though I never owned a scanner
before, it was easy to find frequencies with the Internet and
the scanner's search function. In fact, the amount of traffic would be
unbearable if I didn't keep some channels locked out.
