PRO-93 (200-0523) and PRO-95 (200-0525) Tutorial: How to Search the Preprogrammed Banks

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.

This tutorial is for scanning and selecting the preprogrammed search banks, so that you can listen to frequencies and decide which frequencies you want to store when you are ready to program the scanner.
