Pro-82 buttons dead and won't reset!! Yikes!

Only shows-- 1ch 000 000o -- l/o and scan, no buttons work and will not reset. Has static but that's it. Any way to internally reset this scanner?

Hi, If a simple reset will not correct the error, you may need to re-initialize the scanner (but of course this will delete all your stored memories and presets). To Reset - push a pin through a hole at the side of the scanner and press on the recessed button inside; To Initialize - power off, press TUNE button (leftmost third from the bottom), without releasing TUNE button power on and do a RESET again a bit longer. Wait a couple of seconds (till after the LCD display blinked). Release RESET button then release TUNE button. Try the scanner. If buttons don't work, you may need to verify that KEYLOCK is off. A more comprehensive instruction is detailed at http://support.radioshack.com/support_electronics/doc69/69887.pdf If this does not work, you may need to seek the services of a qualified professional as it needs circuit analysis in the logic section. Good luck and kind regards.

Whenever i turn on my pro-82 scanner all i get is static and have tried squelch and reset
Check your antenna connections, if the connections are good then try a different antenna. Most likely that is the problem if it's the scanner. If your trying to scan Public Safety Frequencies you may be running into a situation where they have gone Digital and your scanner is Analog or they may have encrypted their frequency or control channels so the scanners won't work.

My scanner will not scan
You need at least 2 or more frequencies programmed, and
adjust the squelch knob until there is no more static, then press the scan button.

I reset my pro 82 scanner now i need to program my scanning codes
Your reset wiped out all programmed frequencies, leaving "000.0000" in each channel. That automatically sets the LOCKOUT icon, but it will clear when you program a frequency into the channel. You can download and print your scanner manual here:

Scanner not receiving
Performing a RESET will not clear/erase frequencies or other data programmed into the scanner. If the RESET doesn't work though, you may need to INITIALIZE the scanner. That procedure will clear all programmed data and return the scanner to its "as new" state. Need the manual for your PRO-82? You canb download/print it here:

Scanner will not move from the programmed Police channel
you may need to play with the squelch. and/also hold down the light/key button until the key goes away but mess with the squelch after you get rid of the lock. you want the squelch as far left without it stopping and making static noise

Pro-82 Scanner assistance needed. I followed the "reset and initialize" the scanner process but my keyboard still looks to be inoperative. I have verified that the key lock is not on (the only key on the keypad that seems to work). I've also tried holding down the # 2 & 9 buttons while turning on the scanner, but never received the "Clear" message. Not sure what my next step should be.....any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
