Funny, even with lots of use and backlight almost always on, I get about 3x the run time with these batteries as compared to when they were in my '94. I took the nicad's (1,000 mah) out of my Pro-94A to run this radio.

The software (Win95) allows you to do a few things you can't with the keypad, like assigning alpha tags to the 10 regular storage banks & such. Whew! Got the cable today and backed up all that hard work. I programmed all of the radio without the PC cable, including some 300 alpha tags. HF performance seems quite good given the rubber antenna's shortcomings.Īs to the previous poster's comments about the radio lacking 220 - What? Mine does 220 just fine. Reciever performance is good to excellent but when I tried an external antenna (Hustler CG-144 42') on airband freqs, I had to use the attenuator. The alpha tags are nice and also you get to display BOTH alpha tags & the frequency - a rarity on modern radios, most make you choose between either tags or freqs. I found you have to press and hold the trunk button *while recieving* to stop on a talkgroup. I finally did a web search and found the Yahoo! Egroup for the pro 93 & 95Īnd they had a link to a help page.

That's when I read the whole terrible manual several times, looking for the right keystroke to hold a talk group. Did the scanner do that? Nooooo - it left trunking mode and gave me the control channel's screech. A chase started on one channel so I hit "manual" to stop the scan and stay on that talkgroup. Whoever wrote the manual should be put on a pedistal in a crowded stadium and shot through the head.Īfter I got my local MII system programmed, I started scanning. I took it home and tried reading the instructions. The Bearcats were the best for operations flexibility but the PRO-95 does what I need. I used to own a BC780XLT, a BC895XLT and a Pro-94A. I got mine on sale for around $129.00, but I havent seen it that cheap since. So, if you're a Skywarn spotter with a large territory, be advised.Ģ) Although the scanner CAN receive Mil Air frequencies, you need the programming cable and software to make this happen.Ĥ) Would have been nice to autosave frequencies or talkgroups, but now I'm being unreasonable. Unless I'm missing something very obvious, this seems to be a problem if you're going to be travelling into and out of the range of that particular frequency. 470.ġ) Although the scanner can receive NOAA WX alerts, you can program only ONE NOAA WX radio freq into the (one and only) priority channel so you can receive the alerts while scanning other frequencies. Actually, you can assign a tag to any frequency you enter.Īlso, the scanner seems to be pretty well constructed, as my XYL "accidently" dropped the Pro-95 and his friend, Yaesu Ft-470, down an uncarpeted flight of stairs. The trunking feature works well, and you can assign a 12 character alpha numeric tag to the various talk groups. This is a pretty decent scanner for most purposes.
