I have had my Radio Shack Pro-95 Police Scanner for about 3 years… if you know about scanners you know that you choose channels you want to scan.. for example my scanner is programmed for my county and has 8 channels for different departments… well i chose for it to scan channel 1, 2, 4, and 6, but it will NEVER scan channel 2 anymore. It jumps right over it and will not even scan channel 2. Please help me figure out how to unlock channel two or whatever I need to do to get that channel working. THANKS!!!

i jus bought a pro-528 police scanner from radioshack, do i have to PROGRAM any frequenices in? OR can I jus SCAN untill it comesto something, and while scanning and i hear something i want to here, is there anyway u can pause the channel so i can listen without programing it. i got all my codes im jus to lazy to program them all in.
and im wondering if i turn on the squelch will it stop while im on scan and keep that channel it landed up on, and do i press the number 1 on the key pad to scan for HAM, or do i have to program in frequncies frist in order to scan i kno it come swith 150 frequncies already, it tells me all the frequincies the manual and their in the sytem alreadyu, and WHAT IS THE RANGE ON THE HANDHELD SCANNER? and where would find frequencies for the HAM radios????

Adam M asked:

I have listened to radio/police scanners for the longest time now. I have listened from anything to police/fire/ems and local buses to my actual college’s security.

I am a member of many local scanning forums for my area and surrounding areas and a member of RadioReference, which in the radio scanning community, considered the meeting place for scanner listeners.

So I’ve always assume, that radio scanner listeners are not bad people. I’ve even met law enforcement officers, fire, and EMS workers that have even joined in listening to other agencies.

Lately, I’ve been running in to a lot of people (civilians), who say that scanner listeners are just noisy people listening to information that is no concern to them. I even met one ex-police officer that said the information, especially on the EMS, is of no concern to anyone, and that listeners cause problems, yet I catch him with a scanner now, LoL.

So how do you feel? Are we scanner listeners actually good people or trouble?
I don’t really listen and be like yay, this person is in trouble. I just am amazed at how easily or maybe hard emergency services get people to safety.

On 9/11 it was interesting to see how hard the workers worked, but it sucks how bad their communication was.
