    Why are the channel activity bars flashing on my Radio Shack PRO-94 but there is no sound?
    • S
      sheilabakerSep 23, 2025
      If the channel activity bars are flashing but no sound is heard, it may be because: * The transmission might be a private or telephone interconnect call, which the scanner does not scan. Try scanning for another transmission. * The ID shown is not active. Wait for the ID to become active, or scan another transmission.

    Why is my Radio Shack PRO-94 Scanner on but will not scan?
    • A
      Ann FosterAug 27, 2025
      If your Radio Shack Scanner is on but not scanning, it might be due to the SQUELCH not being adjusted correctly. Try turning the SQUELCH clockwise. Another reason could be that only one or no channels are stored, so store frequencies into more than one channel.

      Haley RiveraAug 27, 2025
      If 'BATT. Lo' is flashing on your Radio Shack Scanner, it means the batteries are weak. You should recharge rechargeable batteries or replace non-rechargeable batteries.

    Why is my Radio Shack PRO-94 Scanner’s display dimming?
    • R
      raymond53Sep 14, 2025
      If the scanner’s display dims or it sounds a tone every 15–30 seconds, it could be due to a couple of reasons: * The batteries might not be correctly installed; ensure they are properly installed. * The batteries might be weak; try recharging rechargeable batteries or replacing non-rechargeable batteries.

    Why does my Radio Shack Scanner lock on unclear transmissions?
    • S
      Shaun AllisonSep 12, 2025
      The scanner might be locking onto frequencies that are the same as 'birdie' frequencies. Avoid storing frequencies listed under 'Birdie Frequencies', or only listen to them manually.

    What does Error mean on my Radio Shack PRO-94?
    • D
      Daniel SotoSep 13, 2025
      If 'Error' appears on the display, it indicates a programming error. Re-enter the frequency correctly, making sure to include the decimal point.

    What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner is set to receive Type I trunked frequencies, but does not scan them?
    • B
      Brittany LucasSep 5, 2025
      If your Radio Shack Scanner is set to receive Type I trunked frequencies but isn't scanning them, the fleet map you've selected or entered might be incorrect. Check the fleet map and correct it if necessary.
