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.


Thanks!

I just got off the phone with Radio Shack and There answer is that There
is something Wrong with The System.

I say That this is UNTRUE.
If there was a problem with the System, All the Police Cars and
Emergency vehicles who are trying to Save lives would be hampered .
also If it Was true , I am Sure That my LOCAL agencies Would DROP the
system and go Back to WhaTEVER works.

It sounds to me that is is a DESIGN problem with the PRO 2096, and
Radioshack needs to Put out an UPDATE to the Firmware or a Complete RECALL !


A call to my LOCAL radio shack came up with more info. The manager
says That all the pro2096 she has sold, Every person is complaing of
this problem, They are issuing lots of REFUNDS !

By the Way, Tech at fort worth Says the RADIO/SCANNER (PRO 2096) is
Still an ACTIVE product ! Even tho there is no mention of it on Radio
Shacks Website ! As we all Know, The Webmaster At Radio Shack.com Needs
to View His or HER work and Make sure it is Correct !

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.
