The PRO-107 is ok, but when they claim to have ALL US freqs pre-progremmed, they are WRONG! There are some general freqs for each big city in most states, but nothing close to what I already have manually entered into my 15 old scanner.

Then to make things worse, the CD-ROM installed once on my XP Laptop, and will not open/run so I can't manually enter the Depts I want. There is zero support for the software by Radio Shack. The uninstaller part of the program opens but can't find the original source folder even though I point it right to any and all of the folders on the damn CD-ROM. Does anyone know where I can get a better version? The antenna is ok, but I suggest getting a specific freq range rubber ducky ant. for your monitoring range. I AM RETURNING IT ASAP!

Hi Alex,

Taxi Comms and shopping malls, etc, nearly always take place over the "Industrial/Business pool frequencies" also known as the "Business Band". The regulations listing frequencies in this pool are contained in Subpart C of Part 90, Title 47 of the CFR and covers a series of frequencies on the VHF and UHF two-way radio bands. They are reserved for use by businesses, and in some cases, by individuals.

The electromagnetic spectrum between approximately 450 and 470 MHz is used largely for UHF business communications, although this spectrum is not exclusively for business use. There are also a number of specific frequencies, in both the VHF and UHF spectrum, that are for business use; some of these have color-coded names, such as Blue Dot or Red Star.

For more information, check out my "Radio Frequency Bands" page at:

As for a radio scanner to monitor the business band, any basic-end conventional scanner will work fine. If you are in the market for a newer model scanner, see our trusted partner Scannermaster at the link below:
