Correct, Pro96 is junk, the 296 rulez and much better PC software available.

You can not upgrade pro96 in the field, you must send it back to RS! Uniden
is field upgradable!
RS really lost it this time...

I took my PRO-96 back. A scanner for $500.00 with no military air
coverage?
There is also a CPU bug (Just like the Pro-93) concerning talkgroups and
when Radio Shack was contacted asking about
a fix. They played dumb. I would go with a Uniden BC296.

I went to the RS store in the Palmdale mall today. Just got back.
The guy in the store did not know what the PRO-96 is. He had to look it
up
on the computer. So to try to find out anything like the version 1.1,
1.2
or 1.3. or any questions on how to run it is not going to happen. This
kind
of stuff is why I try to not buy Radio Shack stuff. But I keep hearing
the
PRO-96 is a good scanner so if I can find some Radio Shack guy that
knows
a
little something I will get one.
I would get one from E Bay or other on line store but I can't know
what
version it is.

to
know haw you like it? I understand that it has a lot of pre program
trunk
systems built in to the radio. Do you find this useful? The Uniden
that
has
the digital card built in costs more, Is it worth it.

I thank you for any information you can give me good or bad.
