Why is my Radio Shack PRO-94 not receiving anything?
Poor or no reception can occur if the batteries are weak or completely discharged. Check the batteries or ensure the AC adapter or DC adapter is connected properly. Also, make sure an antenna is connected to the scanner.
Why are channel activity bars flashing but no sound is heard on my Radio Shack PRO-94?
If the channel activity bars are flashing but no sound is heard on your Radio Shack Scanner, the transmission might be a private or telephone interconnect call, which the scanner doesn't scan. Alternatively, the ID shown might not be active, so wait for it to become active or scan another transmission.
What causes missing replies to conversations on my Radio Shack PRO-94?
Missing replies to conversations on your Radio Shack Scanner can occur if the system you're trying to track is a Type I system, and the scanner is set to scan Type II systems, so set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies. The selected fleet map might also be incorrect, so try another preset fleet map or program your own. Another reason could be that not all of the trunk’s frequencies have been entered, so enter all of the trunk’s frequencies.
How to fix Radio Shack PRO-94 when it is on but will not scan?
If your scanner is on but not scanning, it might be due to incorrect SQUELCH adjustment. Try adjusting the SQUELCH. Alternatively, ensure you have stored frequencies into more than one channel, as scanning requires multiple stored channels.
What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner is set to receive Type I trunked frequencies, but does not scan them?
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.
What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner does not track a trunked system?
If your Radio Shack Scanner isn't tracking a trunked system, the transmission might not use a system that your scanner can track, so try scanning another transmission. It could also be due to a missing data frequency, so you need to find the data frequency. Alternatively, if the system is Type I and the scanner is set to scan Type II systems, set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies.
What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner locks on frequencies that have an unclear transmission?
If your Radio Shack Scanner locks on frequencies with unclear transmissions, it might be locking onto 'birdie' frequencies. Avoid storing frequencies listed under “Birdie Frequencies” or only listen to them manually.
Why does the Radio Shack Scanner’s display dim or sound a tone?
If your Radio Shack Scanner's display dims or it sounds a tone every 15–30 seconds, it could be due to incorrectly installed or weak batteries. Make sure the batteries are installed properly, and recharge or replace them if they are weak.
What does it mean if 'Error' appears on my Radio Shack PRO-94 Scanner?
If 'Error' appears on your Radio Shack Scanner, it indicates a programming error. Re-enter the frequency correctly, making sure to include the decimal point.
What to do if the keypad does not work on my Radio Shack PRO-94 Scanner?
If the keypad on your Radio Shack Scanner isn't working, the keylock function might be activated. To turn it off, press KEYLOCK until K/L disappears.
