Good aye mates,

My Pro-97 scanner has stopped scanning completely.

It doesn't scan using rechargeable batteries, nor when I plug it in to
the
wall socket. All the frequencies are still here. It says that it is
scanning, but it never moves from the frequency it is on.

Sometimes I hear static when I turn the squelch all the way
counterclockwise. Sometimes it remains silent. When I press the
weather
button, I don't hear any weather information on any of the five
different
National weather channels.

Nothing is received even when I place the scanner on the local police
frequency. I hear nothing at all anywhere. The cursor blinks normally,
but
it doesn't move from band to band.

All indicators look normal, but it is silent, and won't scan. Only
blinks?

Thankee

As the PRO-97 doesn't scan does it receive signals when in the manual mode?
That is, if you intentionally program the frequency for your local weather
station so you hear it at all?

Most likely, you're facing a trip to the repair shop!


No it does not receive anything. Radio Shack will repair it for ninety
dollars.




So I'm looking for another one as per an earlier post a few minutes
before this one.

Thankee.
