[FARC] Fw: Scanner help?

[acaho at verizon.net]

Remember - all public safety radios are now digital rendering most scanners useless. Best place to hear local public safety is on internet.

If it is a radio shack scanner then Radio shack should be able to program it for you in the store. They did my Pro-97 scanner when I bought it years ago. At the Mt Airy Radio Shack they used to have a computer out in the middle of the store dedicated to doing that, they don't any longer. I'll have to ask next time I'm in. But I'd suggest going back to the store from where you bought it & asking. If it is a Pro-97 I have the software to program it but we'd have to pay for a subscription to the frequency site: http://www.scannermaster.com/ to download the frequencies for the area of interest. Once we have the file in the correct format we just need to use the software & cable to program the scanner. 73 de ke3flPhil         ---------- Original Message ----------

Would anyone be willing to help Emily? Jeff KB3FIO ----- Original Message -----  From: Emily Stratton To: k3erm at qsl.net Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2011 11:36 AM Subject: Scanner help?  Hello there,
I'm an UBER beginner and have had a Radio Shack scanner (with  trunking) but am such a novice I can't get anything but the NOAA weather  reports, and the instruction manual is all Greek to me :). Is there any place  locally that you guys know of where I could take it in and get it programmed to  the local frequencies and a quick hands on lesson? (Radio Shack proved to be  less than helpful)
Thanks for your advice!
Emily
