Easier to Read Pro 94 Manual

This is an excellent radio that has many fine features for scanning and trunking. However, anyone who has tried to read the manual that comes with the radio knows it can be a little hard to find, read, and figure out some of the steps, especially in the trunking section.

Even as a veteran user I can’t remember everything and find myself referring back to the manual for explanations of procedures and find it frustrating trying to figure out the wording every time. I decided to write and print this for myself to make it easier to use the radio and am happy to share it with you. This should also make it easier for most people to use some of the more advanced features of the radio (and get their money’s worth if you paid full-price for the radio new) as I will try to explain procedures a little more clearly and in a more logical order. Granted, this radio isn't simple so you will have to spend some time on it but this manual will make it easier. If you follow the red highlighted text in the programming sections, you should find what you need to know. If you want to find out what's really going on with the radio, read everything else.

Some of the better features of the radio are that it has 20 banks-but you can only scan 10 at a time (group A or B). Priority ID scanning-1 ID per scan list, 5 lists per bank and then you can tweak it to scan just the priority IDs. Unlike some of the newer scanners, you can see the ID and channel information in the display. You can program just the fleet or sub-fleet for an EDACS system to save space in the ID lists.

An overview of the features can also be view at my Trunking Radio Comparison Chart page.

I will assume you know how to obtain the basic information from the original manual such as following safety procedures, putting the batteries in, connecting the antenna, finding specs, etc. and concentrate on the main functions of the scanner.

I hereby absolve myself from anything that happens to anyone or the scanner as a result of the information you will be reading. You are welcome to copy and/or print these pages and use them in the scanning hobby as long as don't change them or charge anyone money for them.

Check back often as this document will be updated and revised from time to time.

Main Features

Contents

The Pro-94 will scan conventional or trunked transmissions but not trunked and conventional transmissions at the same.

Triple-Conversion Circuitry - virtually eliminates (depending on your location and antenna) any interference from IF (intermediate frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency.

(20) 50-Channel Storage Banks - you can store up to 50 channels in each of 20 different banks, in two separate groups, A or B (500 per group), for a total of 1000 channels.

5 Talk Group ID Lists per Bank - you can store up to 50 trunking talk group IDs (10 in each list) for each trunking bank for a total of 1000 IDs).

EDACS Partial Talk Groups - If you are viewing IDs in AFS mode, you can trunk the talk groups for an entire agency or fleet as 1 ID.

Priority Talk Group ID Scanning - lets you program 1 talk group ID in each scan list (5 per bank) and have the scanner check those IDs more frequently. Also lets you scan just the priority IDs in a bank.

20 Priority Channels - lets you program one channel in each bank and then have the scanner check that channel every 2 seconds while it scans the bank, so you don't miss transmissions on those channels.

Trunking Scan Delay - delays trunking for about 5 seconds before searching for another talk group ID, so you can hear more replies that are made on the same talk group ID.

Status Bit Ignore - you can set how your scanner works with status bits (also called S-bits), letting you control how the scanner interprets and displays talkgroup IDs.

Motorola Disconnect Tone Detect - the scanner automatically tunes to the trunking data channel when it receives a disconnected transmission. You can turn this off, so you can continuously monitor a channel with a weak transmission where conversations are often disconnected.

5 Service Banks and 1 Limit Search - frequencies that are pre-programmed in separate public safety, aircraft, ham, marine, and weather banks, to make it easy to locate frequencies in these bands and 1 programmable limit search.

Three Power Options - lets you power the scanner using internal batteries; alkaline, (switch to ‘ALKALINE’ in battery compartment), Ni-Cad, or Ni-MH (switch to ‘NI-CD’ in battery compartment); external AC power using an optional 9 volt 300-mA AC adapter/charger (and RS ‘type H’ adaptaplug); or DC power using an optional 9 volt DC cigarette-lighter power cable.

Data Signal Skip - lets you set the scanner to skip non modulated or data signals (such as fax or modem transmissions) during searches. This lets the scanner avoid non-voice signals, making searching or scanning faster.

Monitor Memories - lets you temporarily store up to 10 frequencies and 1 talk group ID.

Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching, and skip over talk group IDs when trunking.

Weather Alert Indicator - lets you listen to coded weather emergency information using Specific Area Message Encoding (NWR-SAME Circuitry).

Scan/Search Delay - delays scanning or searching for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel or frequency, so you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel or frequency.

Manual Access - lets you directly access any channel.

Display Backlight - makes the scanner easier to read in low-light situations.

Hypersearch - lets you set the scanner to search at up to 300 steps per second in frequency bands with 5 kHz steps, compared to the normal search speed of 100 steps per second.

Key Lock - lets you lock the scanner's keys to help prevent accidental changes to the scanner's programming.

Battery Save - saves battery power when the scanner does not detect any transmissions for more than 5 seconds while a single channel is being monitored. Can be turned off.

Battery Low Alert - warns you when battery power gets low by beeping about every 10 seconds.

Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you press a key, perform an operation correctly, and an error tone if you make an error. Can be turned off.

Memory Backup - keeps the frequencies stored in memory for an extended time if the radio loses power.

Understanding Trunking

Contents

Trunking systems let a large group of 2-way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a set of frequencies. Instead of selecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user’s radio selects a programmed trunking bank in the system when that user presses their PTT (push to talk) button. The trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and also sends (on a different frequency called a Data or Control channel) a code that uniquely identifies that transmission as a talkgroup ID (here after referred to as just ID). So when you are trunking a system, you are listening to active IDs transmitting in the system (each using the first available frequency in the system). Thus, trunking systems in general, allocate a few frequencies among many different users.

This trunking scanner trunks two types of systems; Motorola and Ericsson EDACS systems. This scanner will not trunktrack the newer digital systems.

When you program a Motorola or EDACS frequencies into the scanner, one frequency is the data channel, and the rest are the frequencies shared by all the users. The data is continually transmitted to the field units and has a sound similar to listening to a boat engine over the phone (in manual mode; you won't hear this when you are trunking the system). This data channel is also a good check to see if you can trunk the system. If you can't hear a data channel when you step through the trunking frequencies (in manual mode), you either don't have all the frequencies or are too far away to receive the system. Motorola systems are limited to a maximum of 28 frequencies per system, Ericsson EDACS systems are limited to 25 frequencies per system.

Since the trunking system might send a call and its response on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a regular scanner. This scanner lets you select and monitor the data channel frequency sent with a 2-way radio transmission within the trunking bank, so you can hear calls and responses for users and more easily "follow" conversations than with a conventional scanner.

Trunkscanning is basically scanning IDs that are programmed into ID locations (same concept as frequencies into channels). You can then trunkscan just the programmed IDs. Trunking is searching for all IDs in a system (same concept as searching for frequencies in a band).

Radio Reference.com has an excellent page explaining the various types of trunking systems in more detail here.

Understanding IDs

Contents

Motorola IDs come in two formats: Type I and Type II. Each format displays and uses talk group IDs in slightly different ways.

Type I IDs are in the format FFF-SS where FFF is the fleet and SS is the sub-fleet. Type I systems are usually organized with different IDs assigned to different fleets. For example, a valid fleet/subfleet ID identifying all detectives within a police department might be 000-12, where 000 identifies all police IDs and 12 identifies the Detective division. To properly trunk a Type I system, you have to program the fleet map for the system.

Type II IDs are identified by a 5-digit number.

Type I/II hybrid systems use both Type I and Type II formats for talk group IDs.

EDACS IDs come in two formats: AFS (Agency-Fleet-Subfleet) and Decimal.

AFS IDs are in the form AA-FFS where AA is the agency, FF is the fleet, and S is the sub-fleet. EDACS systems are organized with different IDs assigned to different fleets and agencies. For example, a valid agency/fleet/subfleet ID identifying all detectives within a police department in an agency might be 06-101, where 06 identifies the agency (Police), 10 identifies the Police division (East side), and 1 identifies the Detective division.

Decimal IDs are shown as a decimal number from 0 to 2047.

You can find a chart showing Decimal and AFS equivalents here: Conversion Chart.

Understanding Banks

Contents

Service Banks

The scanner is preprogrammed with all the frequencies allocated to the weather, ham, marine, aircraft, and public safety services. This helps you quickly find active or unknown frequencies instead of doing a limit search. Also, they are good for finding frequencies when traveling. The scanner also has 1 programmable limit search and a direct search witch allows you to start searching at a specific frequency.

Channel Storage Banks

All the channels are divided into 2 main bank groups, A and B. Channel numbers start at 1 in bank 1 and go up to 500 in bank 10. Each main bank group has 10 banks of 50 channels. You can only use either A or B, not both. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those for police, fire, ambulance, aircraft, or trunking systems.

You can also program your trunking frequencies and conventional frequencies into the same banks as well to utilize channel space better. By simply locking out the trunked frequencies, you can then either trunk a bank or scan a bank. The scanner will still trunk the locked out frequencies.

Tip: Theoretically, you can also program more than one trunking system into a bank as long as you can only monitor one at a time, in different locations, far enough apart, so the system you are monitoring won’t interfere with any other system (which would confuse the radio). They would also have to be the same system type (Motorola or EDACS) and be in the same valid trunking frequency range (800 MHz band or 900Mhz band etc.) for the radio to allow you to program the trunking systems.

Monitor Memories

The scanner also has 10 temporary memory locations called monitor memory channels (for both bank groups). You can use these channels to temporarily store frequencies when you search through frequency bands. You can then move these to a bank channel to scan. You can also use 1 monitor memory channel to temporarily store 1 talk group ID.

If you are turning the radio on after you have programmed frequencies into it, the scanner will start scanning the last select banks if you turned the radio off in scan mode or, start trunking the last selected banks if you turned the radio off in trunk mode.

A Look at the Display

Contents

The display has indicators that show the scanner's current operating status. The display information helps you understand how your scanner operates.

LIST appears when trunkscanning or programming talk group ID lists.

BANK A or B indicates the bank group being used.

1-10 (Small numbers at the top of the display).

Manual Mode: shows which bank the displayed channel is in.

Scanning Mode: show which channel-storage banks are being scanned. The bank number that is currently being scanned will blink.

Monitor Mode: indicates the monitor memory channel (1-10).

Search Mode: shows the next monitor memory channel ready to be programmed and will blink until you store a frequency into it.

Trunking Mode: shows which trunking bank is currently being trunked; when ALT(DATA) is pressed will blink showing all banks being trunked for 5 seconds; blink when selecting banks to trunk or program.

Trunkscanning Mode: shows which talk group ID lists (1-5) are being scanned in the current trunking bank; show the list number containing the displayed ID and will blink; show the ID number being held by the hold button.

TRUNK

appears while you are trunking; while you are monitoring talk group IDs; while programming a trunking system, talk group ID list, or fleet map.

appears during a limit, direct or service search; in monitor mode; after you have stored a monitor ID into a monitor ID memory; while you are monitoring a talk group ID.

Channel activity bars (20 total).

Trunking mode: Each frequency you store in a trunking bank has a corresponding activity bar. However, there are only 20 bars for a possible maximum of 50 frequencies. If the trunking system contains more than 20 frequencies, some bars will represent more than one frequency.

One will stay on indicating the data channel frequency. Others will appear and disappear as active

or locked out frequencies come (appear) and go (disappear). The one that blinks is the frequency being heard.

If bars appear without any talk group IDs locked out and no audio is heard, then they are probably

telephone interconnect or private calls which the scanner does not receive.

If the scanner is holding on an ID which is not being used, the other activity bars turn on and off as

other frequencies use the system.
