PRO-95 free programing from RS?
I saw a Radio Shack flyer saying the PR-95 was $199.95 and they would
"instantly" program in my local channels. One place said their computer was down, another said they did not have the software, another place said only if I purchase the cable and the book with the CD containing frequencies, the other place said I would purchase it and leave it with them for a week and they would do it in a week. Unfortunately, I did not call ahead and expected it would be done. I sent an e-mail to customer service at RS. Could anyone give me a recommendation on this offer or about another scanner? |
You don't need to purchase anything but the cable. Go to the following
websites: Pro-95 Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PRO95/ Pro-95 freewa http://www.starrsoft.com/ Jmcc wrote: I saw a Radio Shack flyer saying the PR-95 was $199.95 and they would "instantly" program in my local channels.

Ran into same problem with local RS where I live. One person working with 6
customers all wanting to have something done or buy something. No joy here either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- "Jmcc" wrote in message ...

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. -- Paul Hirose To reply by email delete INVALID from address. |

happy with it..... Kevin (aka tlgtr) **** Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are injured annually by their clothing. |
at my RS store i fell some of the people that work there don't know alot
about scanners and more |
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
to program and I now have a greater understanding on how to operate it. I found more than enough local freq's on the net. I was listening to our local police (trunked) within an hour. I've been very happy with the scanner. -- ....Carl Frisk Anger is a brief madness. - Horace, 20 B.C. http://www.carlfrisk.com "Paul Hirose" wrote in message ...
