PRO-93 (200-0523) and PRO-95 (200-0525) Tutorial: How to Store Text Tags

The only difference between the PRO-93 and the PRO-95, is the number of channels each has; the PRO-93 having 300 channels and the PRO-95 having 1000. The method of programming for each is the same.

In this tutorial you will be shown how to store text tags. You can customize your scanner by storing text tags (up to 12 characters) for easy identification of channel transmissions, trunk IDs, or banks.

This tutorial contains three sub-tutorials and a chart:

Assign a Text Tag to a Channel

Step 1: Enter the Channel Number



Press MANUAL repeatedly until the channel number where you want to enter the text displays. M and the bank and channel number displays at the upper left corner. In our example, we selected Channel 01.



Step 2: Enter the Program Mode



Press PGM. The M in the top left corner changes to P.



Step 3: Enter the Text Mode



Press TEXT. A blinking cursor displays on the third line below the frequency line.



Step 4: Enter the Text



Enter the text using the number keys. (See the "Text Input Chart" at the end of this tutorial.) NOTE: If you make a mistake, press the UP or DOWN arrow key to move the character you want to change. For example, to identify amateur (ham) radio transmissions in the 6 meter range, input "HAM 6m" as follows: "H" is the second letter associated with 4 on the keypad. Press 4 then 2. "A" is the first letter associated with 2 on the keypad. Press 2 then 1. "M" is the first letter associated with 6 on the keypad. Press 6 then 1. "Space." Press ./DELAY. "6" is the sixth number associated with 1 on the keypad. Press 1 then 6. "m" is the first letter associated with 6 on the keypad. Press 6 and FUNC (for the lower case set), then press 1.



Step 5: Enter the Text



Press ENTER to input the text.



Step 6: Return to Manual Mode



When you are finished programming, press MANUAL to exit.

Assign a Text Tag to a Group ID

Step 1: Enter the Programming Mode



Press PGM.



Step 2: Enter Trunking Mode



Press TRUNK. Press FUNC then the UP or DOWN arrow keys to select the desired group ID. In our example we used Bank 0, so we didn't change anything on the screen at this point. Press TRUNK again.



Step 3: Select the Group



Press or hold down the UP or DOWN arrow keys to select the desired group ID.



Step 4: Enter Text Mode



Press TEXT then enter the tag using the keypad. (See the "Text Input Chart" at the end of this tutorial.)



Step 5: Store the Text



Press ENTER to store the text.

Assign a Text Tag to a Bank

Step 1: Select a Channel



Select a channel within the desired bank by pressing MANUAL and entering the bank number (000 for bank 0 or 200 for bank 2, for example.) Press MANUAL again.



Step 2: Enter Programming Mode



Press PGM.



Step 3: Enter the Text



Press FUNC then 7. The cursor appears at the third line of the display. Enter the text using the keypad. (See "Text Input Chart" at the end of this tutorial.)



Step 4: Store the Text



Press ENTER to store the text.

To enter a lowercase character or a character from the second set for key 0, press FUNC after pressing the first number key.
