Radio Shack Pro-82
 

I've been given a Radio Shack Pro-82 scanner. No jokes about Radio Shack,
please. I think the one-touch bank numbers work OK, but I want to select a
bank by bank number, so I can enter some frequencies. According to the
instruction book (p.29), "To turn on a channel-storage bank (1-10) during
scanning, press the bank's number key. A bar appears under the bank's
number." When I press the numbers, nothing happens. It's scanning away
happily in, say, the weather bank, but pressing numbers on the keypad does
nothing. What am I missing?

Do you have anything programmed into the radio?
Do any of the buttons do anything?
Is there any "bars" under any of the numbers?
Are you in search mode instead of scan mode?

I guess I should have read your second post first :)
What was the problem?

I'm sure the guy who wrote the intruction booklet thought it was all very
clear. When you press the "one-touch" buttons, the scanner is scanning, but
it's not in the scan mode you need to access the different banks. You have
to press the "scan" button for that.
