Product: PRO-92 Multi-trunking Scanner Cat. No.: 200-0522
Question: What is the difference between the 200-0522, 200-0522A and 200-0522B versions of the PRO-92?
Answer: The primary differences are either in the firmware version and/or the trunked scanning method.
PRO-92 200-0522
Firmware: Version 1.0
Trunked Scanning: Low Speed Handshake
PRO-92 200-0522A
Firmware: Version 3.xx
Trunked Scanning: Control Channel
After introduction of the PRO-92, we learned of some instances where it didn't perform to expectations on some Motorola trunked systems.
Based on this, a few customers have raised concerns about the quality of the PRO-92. An update to the software (changing the scanning
method from "Low Speed Handshake" to "Control Channel") improves performance with these "troublesome" trunking systems. Effective
immediately, we are offering this upgrade for the price of labor only. You would need to take the radio to
your local RadioShack store and have
them send it to the service center. Through cloning, reasonable efforts will be made to retain the programming in the scanner's memory.
Warning: Do not send a scanner that currently works fine on your local trunked systems just because it has version 1.00! If the scanner already
works well in your area, this update is not needed.
The only significant difference between the 200-0522A and the 200-0522B is that the manufacturing location changed.
PRO-92 200-0522B
Firmware: Version 3.xx
