radio shack pro-90 help

[magpupu2]

Someone gave me a pro-90 and i am trying to program bell fleetnet to it. But everytime i put the frequency in, it gives me an error. the one i am trying to program is from here: Login or Register for the link

now the frequencies i am seeing is around 141 and as far a i know the scanner will only accept frequencies on the 800mhz for trunking. i am very new to this and i hope to learn more before moving up to a digital scanner.

thanks

thanks for the reply. I tried to put the control frequency that was on the top part of the page put it gives me an error

Did you pick MOT for the type of system

[magpupu2]

i think the issue is that it is the first one that does trunking and that it only does it on the 800mhz band. gives me a reason to save up to get a digital scanner. One question though, does the prs-500 or 800 serve me for a long time. it will suck big time when they roll up something new and a very expensive scanner be obsolete.

Go for the Uniden 396/996 xt scanner

[magpupu2]

is there any local store in the city that sells digital scanners?

The source sells them. I found a couple Uniden Bearcat scanners for under $200. They aren't the BCD396XT as noted earlier, so I'm not sure if they would do the job. If someone knows if other bearcat models would work that would be great. Thanks.
