RadioShack Digital Trunking Handheld Radio Scanner PRO-106 20-106, Very Good

  

The PRO-106 design is a few years old now, and no longer in production, but it is an excellent scanner for most purposes. The object-based memory system provides an excellent level of flexibility; any object (channel) can be assigned to any or all of the 20 memory banks and the size of each bank is fully customizable. Conventional and trunked channels can be mixed in any bank, as can digital and FM channels. Receiver sensitivity and selectivity are good.

The scanner includes all of the common features of modern scanning receivers. Programming via the front panel is possible but programming via a computer, programming cable and appropriate software is much easier. Comes with handheld scanner, belt clip, battery compartments, antennae, owner's manual and original box with packaging!

This scanner with components has been very well cared for. Power adapter and 2 AA batteries are not included in this sale. Instructions for upgrading the firmware can be found online, as can the updated firmware. Updating the firmware can provide clear performance benefits, especially when listening to digital, trunked radio systems. Note that the PRO-106 does NOT support reception of NXDN and P25 Phase II systems.

22 Scan Lists - 20 lists to program, use, and select like traditional banks allowing you to arrange, group and scan objects according to your preference with an additional'Favorites' list to create a scan list tailored to your favorite objects and a'Skywarn' list. Multi-Site Trunking - allows you to scan systems covering a very large geographic area that use multiple antenna sites and operate on different frequencies but use the same Talk Group IDs.

Multi-Site option to look for the site with the best received CC decode rate. (Not the same as RSSI on the Motorola rigs, but similar in operation). 21 Virtual Scanner Memories; one copy of working memory can hold up to 1800 objects, meaning any combination of talkgroups, conventional channels, and trunking systems. Each V-Scanner folder holds one copy of working memory.

So, 21 1800 = about 37,800 objects altogether can be stored in the V-Scanner storage system. 700MHz and 380MHz Trunk Scanning. Object programmable LED; eight factory default colors to any color / brilliance you want by having direct access to the R-G-B drive values (including flash) to assign to talkgroups, frequencies, agencies, etc. LATCH option; the color of the last received object stays on until reset. Audible Alarms - programmable audible alerts can be configured to sound when certain scannable objects are active.

Hit Counters - keep track of how many transmissions are received for each object type. LTR Home Repeater AutoMove - enter the LTR system frequencies in any order, and the scanner will automatically move the frequencies to the proper home repeater slots as transmissions are received on the system. Object Duplication- useful when entering multiple ID objects that are in the same trunked radio system, or multiple conventional objects that have similar parameters or tag names. FlexStep - allows you to enter a frequency in any 1.25 kHz step.

Can be programmed to only break squelch when receiving the correct NAC in a conventional P25 system. Pre-programmed systems for most major metropolitan areas. 7 Service Search Bands - Marine, CB, FRS/GMRS/MURS, Police/Fire, Air, Ham, and Railroad and a limit search. Built in discriminator data output in simple ASCII output using the PC/IF port. Full duplex support and USB connection using the GRE 30-3290 (RS #20-546) USB Scanner Data Manager Cable.

Default Option keys; return to default setting for any menu. 16-character alpha-tagging with text entry can show ID code or service name. Temporary/Permanent Lockouts - lets you temporary or permanently lockout any programmed object. Scan/Search/Trunking Delay - variable delay (0 to 25 seconds) before searching for another object so you can hear more replies that are made on the same object.

UNSQUELCH Delay; Delay settings before the radio unmutes audio to speaker. Motorola Control Channel Only trunking. Private Calls and RadioID alpha display.

Easy-to-read back lit control and display with back lit keypad. Object'Find' - lets you search by lockout status or by text. Weather band with enhanced SAME Weather Alert functions and weather priorityaccess weather channels and alerts with the push of a button.

Priority Scan - the scanner will sample conventional objects for activity periodically while scanning and monitoring other objects. The scanner will also give IDs priority over other IDs while checking a particular trunking system for activity. 20 dB attenuator - lets you program your scanner (per object or globally) to reduce the scanner's sensitivity to strong local signals or noise caused by these signals to reduce interference.

Create a password to use scanner. Computer interface and Programming (with computer control). 3 function keys; softkeys, that when pressed, execute the function that is shown just above the key in the display.

5 way navigation keys to access special modes and programming options. 4 line x 16 character display with relative signal strength meter.

Display of the Radio ID of the transmitting user. Data Cloning - lets you transfer the programmed data from one scanner to another. You can also download the programmed data from a PC to the scanner or upload the programmed data to the scanner (using an optional two-way PC cable) with optional software.
