I stumbled across your video through google search when I was looking for information and pricing on the Pro-106. I was shocked when I heard Hamilton programmed in! I'm from Hamilton as well hehe. A friend of mine has the PSR-500 and we usually sit in the timmies parking lot listening to east, central, and mountian. Nice to see another local scanner user. (Especially with the same scanner.) Cheers
It depends somewhat. Some areas have dual broadcasts, usually by Fire Departments, where they still put out an Analog signal from Dispatch, & that you can listen to. However, if the responding unit has Digital, you'll only hear static, random noise, or nothing (But the signal Meter will still show a strong broadcast). The PD station near my house is all Digital, as I went to their frequency, but only heard dead air, yet the signal meter was maxed out. Message me if you want to talk more...
Still best scanner. Really good receive sensitivity and battery life and stability and front end. The only thing the newer ones have over it is additional digital modes, eveeything else performs lower on them.
I just bought my Pro 106 for $320 shipped and have added the programming cable so I can input my Pro 2096 channels(basically clone) using Win500 and be up and running in minutes(be a couple of days before I get mine). I just wanted to see how the 106 looks and works,it looks like it has more features than my Pro 2096 does,one reason why I decided on the 106 than getting a Pro 96(I would have been happy with the 96 as well)
Great video, went out bought the psr 500 after your review, had to take cd-rom to Kinkos to print out manual ($25 for 138 p) not bad. OTR driver so no laptop no software to program, still learning how to program manually. Any chance for How to videos?
I just received the Pro-164 for Christmas, but alas, most of the Departments in my Region have all gone digital within the past month. I'm trying to put the Pro-164 towards the Pro-106, through a refund and price difference payment. The Pro-164 is one of the BEST Trunking Analog Scanners, peiod. Too bad my area went completely Digital though, with just about 100% of All Public Saferty Services on P-25 now. Analog has better sound quality, and better range, but the departments are "Tech Happy".
I have the PSR500 and have had problems with the loose BNC connector or the interior solder. Is it possible to use the same PF/USB cable that I got with my PSR500 and use it on the PRO-106? Also can I update the PRO-106 by just going to GRE's site and download the Firmware/software updates?
Digicircle has not had any PRO-106 scanners for quite a while because these scanners are in high demand. The PSR-500 radios are available at a good price and brand new.
I just purchased a Pro 106 in Pennsylvania yesterday and am looking at your video regarding the set up for OPP and Bellnet for EMS--in Ontario. Sould I pay the money and load same through the RR.com instead of trying to load it all myself. If I use rr.com how much do they charge?? Thanks caddyjack1

I think the display on the 106 looks better because its more of a direct camera angel.
According to the manual yes you can clone radio to radio.
pro 107 Is the bomb. The new radio shack scanner

Great reveiw mclove2 I'm also in Ontario near KW area.
Thanks for the review. I have a GRE 500 on the way.
Digital sounds nice! I want to get the Pro-106 as soon as its not $500
You Should try the audio boost!
Yes you are correct my friend but trust me it is is a cost issue so it will not happen for a very long time until it all goes encrypted.
I love the 106. I have Whistler WS1040 for xMas I love it so much.
The Pro106 is currently on sale for $399 at Radio Shack stores until Christmas.
Very Nice Review. Thanks
Keep on Scanning

i am getting a gre psr 300 either monday or tuesday :D cant wait!
Yes radio 2 radio.
Please. Why I can ear the dispacher, but can´t ear other members? I´m using my psr-500 in Sâo Paulo-Brasil. Thanks so much.
question what type of antenna do you have on the pro 106. I like how it covers the whole bnc conector.
you mention the dispatch ID changes? It's probably because they are using different consoles that has different ID.
Nice radio
I use a Uniden 396 and 996XT over in Burlington
You listen to GO Transit P25?
I have the PSR500 and have had problems with the loose BNC connector or the interior solder. Is it possible to use the same PF/USB cable that I got with my PSR500 and use it on the PRO-106? Also can I update the PRO-106 by just going to GRE's site and download the Firmware/software updates?
it was 300 bucks it has 1000channels and its VHF/UHF but also gets TMR freq.

ho do you set up led lights
Where can i buy one of these?
How soon can u get back to me?
Can the same software that is used to program the pro106 be used to program the 500?
Terra aka Airwaves. You can not listern to. It's encrypted and I think it allways will be.
Do you find that Pro-106 screen is more crisp and clear than the GRE 500?
I have a question I have the GRECOM 500 can you clone the PRO 106
What kind of antennas are on these two scanners

Did you program this, or does it work out of the box this way?
Where can i buy one of these?
Thanks for this video... most Scanner videos on youtube suck
do you have to manually enter the frequencies? or does this unit automatically pick up?
Where can I download it.
I had a question as to what Antennas are you using?
How do you get it to talk louder? Is it a software?
how much was it, scannermaster sells for 150$
Can you clone radio to radio?
help shold i get the pro -106 or the gre 500?
what kind of antennas are thos?
good afternoon this scanner detects conventional digital signal on VHF frequencies and which use radios motorola xpr 6150 mototrbo line
If you're talking Win500 yep
I Use "Win500" To Program It.
do you have to program the text in? like when it comes up police or sheriff? and what town? or does it come up automatically?
That's right
can you hear cell phones conversations with this scanner
why do they cost so much
i need help my radio pro106 gone mad dose any one a repair shop that i send it too
Uniden scanners are so much better and easier to program
is 141.93 digital?
Does anyone know what the newest digital scanner is in 2016?
What if they ban all freq you're stuck with 3 useless scanner.
no scanner can monitor TETRA
pro 106 better audio
yes. its not practical.
You're just assuming
never gonna happen
Where can i buy one of these?
