I thought you said you had some GOOD news?

It would have been good news if it really were true. I have not nor
will I purchase a PRO-96 because it lacks MilAir.

But to say a scanner receives MilAir when in deed it doesn't it one step
from fraud. NO the PRO-96 does NOT receive MilAir.

However with software you can "trick" the scanner into thinking it can
receive MilAir. This as been done before with other scanners and has
always produced POOR results.

First, who wants to lug around a LapTop computer with them when they're
out monitoring mobile. I can just see it, all these happy PRO-96 guys
carring a laptop with them while walking around an airshow.....Nothing
like drawing attention to yourself...

Next, the software will force the scanner to tune to the MilAir freqs
however since the scanner was never designed to receive 225-400 the
scanner does NOT have the correct filtering to receive these freqs. NOR
is the RF amplifiers in the radio designed to pass these freqs. In fact
I bet you'll find out there are actually filters in the radio to PREVENT
225-400 MHz freqs to pass. The reason for this is to prevent Cell phone
images to show up in in the 225-400 range or images freqs there of....

So in short for a piece of software to advertise that it will allow a
non MilAir scanner to receive MilAir is one step from fraud. The
scanner will be VERY deaf in this range, something software can not change.
