\n> lol....Local neighbor of mine had the same problem with our
\nradioshacks. He went in and asked about the scanner and they told him
\nthey cant program the Pro-97. Now What kind of crap is that. For one I
\ncould do it by hand in minutes depending on how many frequencies there
\nare to program. They said no one knew how to program it. Yeah give me
\na break. It uses a different program thats why. They need to use the
\nWin 97 which they are probably too stupid and trying the Win 95. Also
\nI think it uses the same cable has the Pro-95 but not competely sure.
\nI need to work for one of my 3 local radioshacks. I would at east know
\nwhat I am doing.
