I saw a Radio Shack flyer saying the PR-95 was $199.95 and they would
"instantly" program in my local channels.
One place said their computer was down, another said they did not have the
software, another place said only if I purchase the cable and the book with
the CD containing frequencies, the other place said I would purchase it and
leave it with them for a week and they would do it in a week.
Unfortunately, I did not call ahead and expected it would be done. I sent an
e-mail to customer service at RS.
Could anyone give me a recommendation on this offer or about another
scanner?

You don't need to purchase anything but the cable. Go to the following
websites:

Ran into same problem with local RS where I live. One person working with 6
customers all wanting to have something done or buy something. No joy here
either.

Is it really that important to get the scanner pre-loaded with local
frequencies? Less than 2 months ago I bought a PRO-95 and didn't even
bother to ask if they could load it. Though I never owned a scanner
before, it was easy to find frequencies with the Internet and
the scanner's search function. In fact, the amount of traffic would be
unbearable if I didn't keep some channels locked out.

I bought a PRO-95 and since they didn't have the cable in stock decided to read the manual. I'm glad I did. It is easy
to program and I now have a greater understanding on how to operate it. I found more than enough local freq's on the
net. I was listening to our local police (trunked) within an hour. I've been very happy with the scanner.
