Specs are not needed. I suspect you need the local frequencies and how to program them. The scanner CAN be set to scan for the local frequencies. Have a pad and paper ready and write down the ones you want to keep.
You must obtain the local frequencies, try Google. They are public knowledge, but hard to find. Local Hams or a Radio Shack will likely have the frequencies. Be nice, be polite, no one has to give you this information.

Here is a link to the users manual in PDF Since I don't know if you are locked out of one channel of locked out of a band this manual will get you back to trunking in no time.

Your PRO-96 has 10 banks of 50 channels, giving you access to 500 channels for conventional systems. It also has 11 banks of 500 channels, giving you access to 5500 users on trunked systems. Detailed instructions for programming the scanner are contained in the factory operating instructions, which you can download and print at no cost here:

MO is for monitoring MOtorola trunking systems and will only work if you have programmed a system into your scanner. Most fire departments are using conventional, (FM) transmissions, not trunked systems - mainly so that volunteers and neighboring departments can follow the action and respond if needed.

the manual at "http://support.radioshack.com/manuals/ome20-525.pdf" (if you don't have it)
says that you may be in manual mode OR that the channel at 3 might be a "trunk guide", that means that the channel is used to send out digital permissions to the system for each radio in the unit(s) to use a certain freq. when they transmit. good luck!

Sounds like all that is happening is that the channels are locked out, you need to go through manually and unlock them. I have the same scanner and that is what I needed to do.
