Cant make heads or tails how to program scanner pro 95

The PRO-95 is a pretty good trunking scanner, but it's far from ideal for NASCAR monitoring. You can use it for that purpose, and the best way would be to clear all of the programmed information by initializing the scanner. Instructions for this process are on pace 83 of the factory manual, and the best programming instructions are also in the manual. If you don't already have it, you can download and print the manual, at no cost, here:

You can find a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area, or at the race track, and a lot of other useful scanning information, by visiting:

BTW, the best scanners for following the NASCAR action are the Uniden BC72XLT, BC80XLT, and the BC92XLT. All are simple to operate and moderately priced. You can also pick them up used on many web sites, including eBay.

There is no such thing as "dual trunking" or "triple trunking." Such terms are used by manufacturers to indicate the number of trunking systems that a scanner is capable of monitoring. The PRO-95 is designated as a Dual Trunk-Tracking scanner because it is capable of monitoring both Motorola and EDACS systems. Programming a trunking system in to a scanner is a detailed process that requires a bit of research.

Once you have the system information you can follow the programming steps outlined in your scanner's operating instructions. If you don't already have the manual, you can download and print it here:

There isn't a Firmware upgrade for this scanner and I also do not think it is capable of Decoding these transmissions. My Pro-95 gets the beeps and tones also. This model of scanner was one of the last models R.S. produced before adding the digital capabilities.

Sorry, but it can't be done, for at least two reasons. Cellular bands are out of the tuning range of your scanner, and it cannot be modified to receive the cellular frequencies. Virtually all cellular signals are now digital, and the PRO-95 is an analog-only scanner.

Heads up that in some countries / States this can carry severe penalty.

I cannot give any direct information and it up to you to make sure you apply to the laws of your state etc

A good source of information are the two sites below

Frequencies

Scanner software

With any luck you will also find either the manual or a link to it there as well as quite a lot of other useful information that would give you guidance as to the legality

your scanner has an attenuater.it lets you program your scanner to reduce scanners sensitivity .check to see if its on or off.
