Hi all, I have a radio shack pro 20-43 scanner. Does anyone remember how
to wipe the frequencies out? I am blind and can't remember what keys you
hold down to do this. I know you could hold a key down, then turn the
scanner back on and it would take it back to factory defaults. Thanks for
any help anyone can give on this. Have a nice weekend from Griffin,
Georgia.

All righty, I will try holding 2 and 9 down at the same time and see if
that clears out the frequencies out, thanks.

See if it has a place in the back that says reset. Should be a small hole
that you would need to insert a pointed object like a straitened paper clip
in. If it's there try holding clear and push reset at the same time.

Mandatory drug screens are great. I think all people who ask for welfare
should have to pass one.

I forgot to reply back, but it did work. Thanks for your help. I will have
to remember that the next time.

Nope, this model doesn't have that.
