I have a PRO-39 and I have not had any problems entering any
frequencies into it. Are you sure it is designed to receive those
frequencies? If you want to post a couple I will try them out on my
scanner. It is bone stock except for the business band mod.

I haven't heard of any of these, but I sure would be interested in
finding out about them if they do exist.
Take care,
