Default Radio Shack Pro-96

Dear "no one"

You sure have an unusual name.

Please try the following with your 2096: Use the control channel for
the Owosso system. It is 868.9375 MHz. In other words, do not use the
Genesee control channel on 868.8875 MHz. The Owosso system uses only one
transmitter thus avoiding the multiple-transmitter-multipath of the Genesee
system. The down side is that the Owosso system only has the Genesee
dispatch circuits and systems west, north, and south of Genesee.

It will be interesting to learn what quality of signals you receive by
using the Owosso system.

Regards, Mac

I add:

I agree that the PRO-96 is a fabulous scanner. You need to purchase
Don Starr's product "Win96" to really make it a powerful scanning
device. Win96 allows you to open up military aircraft frequencies as
well as to directly program the PRO-96 directly from the
RadioReference database.

You should note that here in the Detroit, MI area, we are having
problems decoding the Detroit Police Department's new digital system.
This problem is not specific to the PRO-96, the Uniden 396 also
exhibits the same problem. Both companies are examining the problem
and don't yet have an answer for us as to whether the problem will be
fixable.




My pro 2096 is one month old and even with Win96 programing The audio is
REAL CHOPPY. I hear every other word said Here in GENESEE COUNTY . Mi
( Flint, Mi area)
Ps.
The city of Flint Decided Not to use the Digital system.. I am beginning
to think they WERE WISE after looking at all the foums on the Motorola
apco-25 system.
