| Special Notes |
| BC235XLT |
| Only scans Motorola systems and then only 1 bank at a time. Fast conventional scanning-100 ch/sec., 300 channels, 5 ID lists; 50 per bank, ID delay, 10 priority channels, weather scan, and Ni-cad battery pack, There is supposed to be a newer version of the BC235XLT with the additional Motorola disconnect tone feature. |
| UBC235XLT |
| A European version of the BC235XLT. |
| Pro-90 |
| Only scans Motorola systems and then only 1 bank at a time. Fast conventional scanning-100 ch/sec., 300 channels, 5 ID lists; 50 per bank, ID delay, 10 priority channels, weather scan, and Ni-cad battery pack. There was a Pro-90"A" released in 2000 with the additional Motorola disconnect tone feature, a global attenuator switch, a minor change in the current drain, and a minor change in the IF rejection. |
| Pro-91 |
| Only scans Motorola systems and then only 1 bank at a time. Only 150 channels and a 50 cps scan rate. 5 ID lists; 50 per bank, ID delay, 5 priority channels, 5 monitor memories, weather scan, and Ni-cad battery pack. One of the few (older) RS scanners that let you manually select an ID. Also has a priority channel review. There was a Pro-91"A" released in 1999 with the additional Motorola disconnect tone feature. |
| BC245XLT |
| The first real trunktracker. Moto/EDACS, 900MHz/VHF/UHF trunking, trunk and scan at the same time, 100 IDs per bank, 10 ID lists; 100 per bank, priority IDs, Motorola status bits, computer software/control, weather scan, but the battery pack is still there. There have been 3 firmware versions of the radio produced. Version 1.17 came out in early 2000, which had the crazy 5 second delay between trunking banks, version 1.19 came out in the first half of 2000, which fixed the delay to less than 1 second, and version 1.04 which started coming out in late 2000. I don't know of any differences in versions 1.04 and 1.19. |
| UBC245XLT |
| A European/Australian version of the BC245XLT. |
| Pro-92/A/B |
| The first LTR
(handheld) scanner. You can store up to 100 custom
searches but no service search,
'Tune' search, has some Military starting at 380 MHz, weather alert/priority, alpha tags,
CTCSS/DCS, adjustable steps in
search mode, VHF/UHF trunking, per channel or global attenuation, and the
auto LTR LCN programming is also nice. To bad it's
so poky slow scanning (but trunks just as fast as my
Pro-95 with no conventional channels programmed), has
only 1 scan list per bank, no EDACS AFS ID display, and
has 'open' and 'closed' modes. With the
freeware you can adjust the scan and
ID delays. The only trunking scanner that needs 6
batteries. There are 3 firmware versions of the Pro-92. The first, 1.00, introduced in 1999 as the Pro-92, has sub-audible tone Motorola trunking that had the tendency to loose active Motorola transmissions. The second, 3.25, introduced in mid 2000 as the 92A, fixed that with control-channel trunking. And the third, 3.28, introduced in late 2000 as the 92B, is essentially the same as the 92A with minor SAME weather alert improvements. |
| Pro-94/A/B |
| Like 2 radios in 1 with 1000 channels but you can only scan 500 channels at a time by switching to 'group A' or 'group B', 10 banks in each group. Scans at 50 channels/sec, 5 ID lists; 50 per bank, 10 monitor memories, power-on resume, status bit ignore/on, priority IDs, priority plus IDs, weather alert, 'Direct search, and only 1 limit search. The Pro-94 came out in Dec. 1999 and has the 5 second delay between trunking banks. The Pro-94A came out around April of 2000 and can trunk and scan at the same time (with a 1 second delay between trunking banks), has an auto backlight feature, and has the EDACS partial talkgroup ID feature (trunk and program). The Pro-94B came out around March of 2004, has a PC interface, a brighter backlight, and can be computer controlled. |
| Pro-93 |

| Priority Plus IDs with the BC780XLT, Pro-94, and Pro-2052(?) |
| While trunk scanning with priority on, HOLD on an ID to monitor it. The Pro-94s will monitor the selected ID and trunkscan just the priority IDs in the bank. This worked on my Pro-94s so I'm assuming it will work with Pro-2052. Only the 780XLT refers to this in their manual. This (holding on a channel w/priority on) may also work with scan priority too. |
