I have ordered the Pro-96 (with the $150 Rebate!). Will it come pre-loaded 
with the frequencies for the Herndon P.D., or must I hand enter the data? 
If so, does anyone know the specific frequencies?
========================
   If memory serves, Herndon is part of the Arlington county system.  I 
would expect that the V folders in the PRO96 would have this information; 
if not, there's lots of places to get it.  For example:

http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&stid=51
(listed by county - free registration required for access)

or here:

   Hopefully you also ordered (or bought) the 20-289 programming cable; if 
you did, download Win96 from:

   http://www.starrsoft.com/software/Win96/

   There's more info on the correct programming cable to use here about 2/3 
down the page.  Don't let the RS folks bamboozle you into thinking the 
20-048 cable/software will work; it doesn't.
I also understand that the cable sold here works fine as well:

   http://www.pro96.com/

   Finally, the Capitol Hill Monitors p96 library page has files you can 
download that will work with Win96 that have Arlington information at:

   I'm told that programming it by hand is something of a bear; better to 
get Win96 to do it.
