Problem with Pro-2066 scanner not receiving local
It is difficult to explain in simple terms but I will try.
Google rebanding.
Some radios can have their firmware updated but I don't think your PRO 2066 can.
Channel numbers and frequencies preprogrammed into your scanner have changed over the past few years.
When a data signal says go to channel X that channel is now Y, but your scanner is still looking for X
Hope this helps
For an RS 49-2559R, I need an Owner's Manual, a
Google found the manual for the 49-2559 emergency redialer on the Radio Shack support page here:
http://support.radioshack.com/support_security/doc64/64643.pdf . The R indicates a refurbished unit so the manual should be the same one.
When I used Radio Shack's manual page, http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/ , I found the manual in the drop-down menus under Security and Home Automation > Security Accessories. This URL is http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/ProductResults.asp?Name=Security_Accessories&ID=010002001 and scroll down to the Wireless Emergency Pendant for 24 Hour Security. I hope this helps.

Don't know how to program scanner
Go online and see if there are any local ham radio clubs. See when they have a club meeting. Go there and see if a ham will help you program it. Most likely you can find at least one person who can/will help you out.
I have a radio shack pro 2096 that worked for
They have probably 'rebanded'- meaning that they moved the control channels. Go to radio reference dot com and see what the control channels are. IF they moved the 3 or 4 control channels and alternate control channels to the 700MHz range, then the PRO96 and PRO2096 probably cannot track it anymore and you will need a newer scanner from Uniden Bearcat or from Whistler. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
Buttons on scanner do not work at all
Check to see if the keypad is 'lockedout'. If there is a 'key' icon in the display, then the keypad is locked and you will have to hold down the 'lock' key until you hear a beep and the 'key' goes away. Then you should be able to operate all the pushbuttons again. Okay?
Need a yellow battery holder for my Pro95 scanner
First suggestion: never recharge batteries inside of a $400 scanner. Always charge them in a separate battery charger. Second, you can find those battery holders on e Bay and you could even try QRZ.com as a source. Okay?
How to load talk groups
My suggestion is to go to radio reference dot com and sign up for a membership where you can get many answers.
