[Scan-DC] getting your PRO96 running

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 14:30:04 -0400

I'm one of those ready to plunk down the cash for a Pro-96, but would like a
little more info before I do.

With the V-scanner profile for DC/MD/VA loaded does the Pro-96's
alpha-numeric display show the talk-groups as each jurisdiction identifies
them, and can I scroll from one TG to another?  For example, can I park on
Montgomery's 7-Alpha and then scroll directly to 7-G when units are switched
to it?  Also, the Montgomery County system includes several area-wide TGs,
identified as 10,11, 13 and 13 A through P. How will they appear on the
display?

I can't seem to find this info on any of the various web sites or user
groups, so the help is appreciated.

Ed
