Radio Shack Pro-96 ( Choppy Audio)

I just tried it and it DIDNOT cure the problem On Mon, 09 Jan 2006 17:24:19 GMT, no one wrote: J. Mc Laughlin wrote: Dear "no one" You sure have an unusual name. Please try the following with your 2096: Use the control channel for the Owosso system. It is 868.9375 MHz. In other words, do not use the Genesee control channel on 868.8875 MHz. The Owosso system uses only one transmitter thus avoiding the multiple-transmitter-multipath of the Genesee system. The down side is that the Owosso system only has the Genesee dispatch circuits and systems west, north, and south of Genesee. It will be interesting to learn what quality of signals you receive by using the Owosso system. Thanks! I just got off the phone with Radio Shack and There answer is that There is something Wrong with The System. I say That this is UNTRUE. If there was a problem with the System, All the Police Cars and Emergency vehicles who are trying to Save lives would be hampered . also If it Was true , I am Sure That my LOCAL agencies Would DROP the system and go Back to WhaTEVER works. It sounds to me that is is a DESIGN problem with the PRO 2096, and Radioshack needs to Put out an UPDATE to the Firmware or a Complete RECALL ! A call to my LOCAL radio shack came up with more info. The manager says That all the pro2096 she has sold, Every person is complaing of this problem, They are issuing lots of REFUNDS ! By the Way, Tech at fort worth Says the RADIO/SCANNER (PRO 2096) is Still an ACTIVE product ! Even tho there is no mention of it on Radio Shacks Website ! As we all Know, The Webmaster At Radio Shack.com Needs to View His or HER work and Make sure it is Correct ! Regards, Mac -- J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A. Home: "no one" wrote in message gy.com...

You need to purchase Don Starr's product "Win96" to really make it a powerful scanning device. Win96 allows you to open up military aircraft frequencies as well as to directly program the PRO-96 directly from the RadioReference database. You should note that here in the Detroit, MI area, we are having problems decoding the Detroit Police Department's new digital system. This problem is not specific to the PRO-96, the Uniden 396 also exhibits the same problem. Both companies are examining the problem and don't yet have an answer for us as to whether the problem will be fixable. My pro 2096 is one month old and even with Win96 programing The audio is REAL CHOPPY. I hear every other word said Here in GENESEE COUNTY . Mi ( Flint, Mi area) Ps. The city of Flint Decided Not to use the Digital system.. I am beginning to think they WERE WISE after looking at all the foums on the Motorola apco-25 system. |
