Radio shack scanner pro 19711/18/2023 The only thing different is the trunking on the 197 is on roaming where the pro 96 cant do that. The pro 96 and 197 are programmed exactly the same with only one bank at a time scanning to try and create a similar scanning situation. I took the scanner out of the center console to put the 800mhz hand held antenna on it, and it seemed to pick up the signals better, even though with the antenna and mount I had on the pro 197 showed 3 to 4 bars signal, but it still seems to miss conversations. The new antenna I purchased this week, I only scan the 800 band so I thought this would be a good antenna with 5db gain. The coax where I had the scanner mounted got bent pretty far as the back of the scanner didn't have much room so the rg-58 got bent to the point some damage may have been caused. Here is a list of my equipment and what I have tried. Sometimes the 197 misses transmissions completely. Upon doing a little compare and contrast my old tired Pro 96 is picking up the talkgroups better and they are not going digital like on the 197. I programmed both my 197 and 96 with the Starcom 21 P25 system and about 40 talkgroups for my area. Well I got back into scanning and programmed it using Don Starr's software, which works pretty darn good.Īnyways I also have an older Pro 96 handheld scanner with the RS 800mhz antenna. ![]() I have had the scanner, and an antenna/mount on my truck for several years, but since moving to Illinois I have not really used it much. ![]() ![]() Hey guys, I am having some issues receiving on my RS Pro 197.
