What is the groups opinion of the Pro-96?

Excellent digital scanner! On sale right now for $399.99! Be sure to get
the programming cable from Radio Shack, and Win96 software from Don Starr.

The one that *doesn't* come with the CD. The one that comes with the
CD won't work on the Pro-96.

Nice scanner. Had mine for just over a year now, no complaints.

Saw them on sale last night at RS. $399 for both the 2096 and 96. Free
programming to boot.

The best scanner that I have ever owned and I have owned 5 in the past.

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.

Dear B. M. Sying:
What have you heard about the use of the PRO-96 or Uniden 396 on the
out-state (Michigan) digital system, which should be the same system as the
Detroit system? What are the symptoms of the problems in Detroit?

Thanks, Mac

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.

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
