| Question: Between the PRO-92 and PRO-94, which has the better scanning scheme? |
Answer: In our testing, we placed a PRO-94 side by side with a PRO-92 and found each radio missed a few (and only a few) hops. The missed hops were about the same - neither radio got everything. The significant difference was that if the PRO-94 model holds on a specific ID and misses a hop, the hop is completely missed, where the PRO-92 typically picks it back up after a second of delay. The reason for this is that the PRO-94 scheme looks only at the data channel; if it misses the data, that transmission is completely lost. In contrast, the PRO-92 reads the subaudible data on each transmission. If it misses the hop, it continues to check active channels and easily finds the conversation again.
While the schemes are different, we did not find that either design was significantly better than the other.

| Question: How do I calculate Base Frequency? I am looking for the mathematical formula used to calculate the BASE frequency as required. |
Answer: We do not have this information. If it is available to the public, you may be able to get what you want by searching the Motorolaź (or applicable) patents.

| Question: How do I turn off Hypersearch? I can't get HYPER off of the display. |
Answer: Hypersearch can only be turned on and off through a limit or direct search. To turn it off, you should do the following:
- Press PROG, then LIMIT (SRC). Lo and 29.000 MHz appear. 29.000 MHz is the low end of the scanner's range.
- Enter the frequency that is the lower limit of the range you want to search (including the decimal point), then press E (SVC).
- Press LIMIT (SRC). Hi and 1300.00 MHz appear. 1300.000 MHz is the upper limit of the scanner's range.
- Enter the frequency that is the upper limit of the range you want to search (including the decimal point), then press E (SVC) again.
- Press \/ to search from the upper to the lower limit or /\ to search from the lower to the upper limit.
- While the scanner is searching or is on a transmission, press H/S.
- HYPER should disappear from the display.
- Press MAN.
- Enter the frequency you want to start from using the number keys. (Press . to enter a decimal point).
Note: To start the search from a frequency already stored in one of your scanner's channels, press MAN or PROG. Then use the number keys to enter the channel number and then press MAN or PROG again. If you enter an invalid frequency, the scanner displays Error. Press MON/CLR (.).
- Press \/ to search downward or /\ to search upward from the selected frequency. -d-, SEARCH, and either \/ or /\ appear.
- While the scanner is searching or is on a transmission, press H/S.
- HYPER should disappear from the display.
