Hi Jeff,

Does the new firmware help with scrambled signals?  I'm hearing more and
more of these types of signals.  If the police do resort to completely
scrambled communications, it will mean that we've taken another step toward
a police state.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: performing firmware upgrades for the Radio Shack Pro-96


Hi everyone, I have had to take my Pro-96 in for servicing because of a
bad antenna connection and loose connector and possibly a bad solder
joint. When I took it in this morning I mentioned to the sales person at
my Radio Shack that I was having a lot of trouble with the Detroit
simulcast digital system that requires a firmware upgrade in order to be
monitored with no drops in the transmissions or anything like that.  The
sales person told me taht I didn't have the upgrade, and they are giong to
upgrade it when it is in the shop, but a few months back I tried upgrading
the firmware from home, and I got a message telling me that I had what I
needed, and today come to find out I don't.  Has anyone else had this
problem before with a false message like that?  I had been told also that
once the
firmware update was in people have been  able to monitor this system with
no problem.
