You will probably have to use a '3rd party' SOFTWARE package. Mr. Donn Starr has written software for most of the GRE / Radio Shack scanners, and using his software will usually allow you to enter 700MHz frequencies. You will need the USB Scanner programming cable and software from Radio Shack, then search online for a link to get Don Starr's software. You might be able to try it out for free for a little while, but it is really worth the $30 for how easy it makes it to program your scanner once you get the doggone Radio Shack USB scanner programming cable configured to work with your computer. Let me know if you have more questions.

I have a radio shack pro 106 scanner.it is coming up heap error 21c321.What is this and how do I clear the error/

that means that you have a trunking system that has no sites assigned to it. If you do not have a 3rd party PC software, download PSREdit 500 from here ( 30 day free trial) Upload to the program then back to the radio and it will clear the heap error. http://www.psredit.com/psredit500/download.html

How to program a radio shack pro 163 police scanner

The 163 is a trunking scanner, so programming instructions are long and detailed, and they vary for each type of trunking system. Programming instructions are best explained in the factory operating manual. If you don't already have it, you can download/print the manual here:

http://www.scancat.com/OnLineHelp/OEM_Radio_Owners_Manuals/PRO-163-164-OWNERS%20MANUAL_2000164_PM_EN.pdf

You may also want to join a users group for the 163. Check Yahoo or just Google PRO-163.

For a comprehensive database of active frequencies and systems in your area, visit:

www.RadioReference.com

The site also has information that explains the workings of trunking systems, links to users groups, and a lot of other useful scanning information.

Codes to reprogram

Do you mean the frequencies to listen to, or how to program it. Radio Shack has the programming directions, but the frequencies are local to you. This is not a digital scanner nor a trunked scanner, in which case, if your local PD/FD switched to a trunked system or digital trunked system you will need a new scanner. You should be able to program in your local weather radio channel, like 162.550 to test the unit though.

How do i unlock a radio shack 164 hand held scanner and how do you program the scanner

The PRO-164 is a trunking scanner with many programming options, and attempting to detail the full programming procedure here wouldn't be practical. Rather, follow this link and you can download/print the full operating manual for your scanner.
