need to do a RESET. Then try your local WX frequency to verify it works. The RESET will wipe out all existing programming, just to warn you. Check your manual, or RadioShack.com for details.

If all else fails, and it sounds like it has, you can RESET or INITIALIZE the scanner to bring it back to normal operation.

To RESET:
- Power the scanner OFF
- Power the scanner back ON
- Insert a pointed object (paper clip, penpoint, etc.) into the RESET hole on the back of the scanner
- Gently press and then release the RESET button inside the hole.

NOTE: RESET will NOT erase the data that you've programmed into the scanner.

If RESET doesn't clear the problem, you can carry out the more drastic INITIALIZE process.

- Power the scanner OFF
- Power the scanner back ON
- Press 0 after the scanner completes its boot routine
- Press 1 after the menu appears
- Press ENT

DO NOT power the scanner OFF until the INITIALIZE process is complete (M000 and Bank 0 Ch 00 appear on the display). The INITIALIZE procedure will reset the scanner to original factory settings and erase all data that you have programmed.

I have a radio shack pro 2096 that worked for years came home one day and no digital channels come thru anymore haven't touched a thing?!!
They have probably 'rebanded'- meaning that they moved the control channels. Go to radio reference dot com and see what the control channels are. IF they moved the 3 or 4 control channels and alternate control channels to the 700MHz range, then the PRO96 and PRO2096 probably cannot track it anymore and you will need a newer scanner from Uniden Bearcat or from Whistler. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

How do I cleear locked out channels when I cant find them
To review locked out channels and clear them if desired:
- Press MAN
- Repeatedly press FUNC and L/OUT
- Each time you press FUNC and L/OUT the scanner will advance to the next locked out channel.

To review locked out channels in SEARCH banks:
- Press SRCH
- Select the bank to review
- Press FUNC then L/OUT
- Use the up and down arrows to review the locked out frequencies

To clear the locked out frequencies in a bank:
- Press SRCH
- Select the bank that you wish to clear
- Press FUNC then L/OUT
- Press FUNC then 6
- Select from the options presented

Unfortunately the PRO-2096 does not have a global clear function like many scanners have.

MY PR0-2096 READS ALL CHANNELS LOCKED OUT TRIED MANY THINGS AND NOTHING WORKS PLEAE HELP ME. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS
If all else fails, I suggest that you RESET or INITIALIZE the scanner to return it to original factory settings. These procedures are outlined on page 71 of your owner's manual. Need the manual? You can download and print it, at no cost, here:

Unlock code all frequencies for pro 2096 digital scanner
Sorry, but there is no magic code that will "unlock" your Pro-2096 or any other modern scanner. If you want a scanner with wider frequency coverage, you'll need to purchase one that comes that way from the factory.

Pro-96 Scanner: My pro 96 scanner says all channels locked and it ...
If there is no frequencies on your scanner it will lock all channels out. if all your frequencies are on one bank and you accidentally hit that bank number and turn it off it will lock out all channels. If that's the case just hit that bank no. back on and they will unlock.
