Quality is important here since you might need to talk to a human to work through the installation and setup issues. Those that use the FTDI chipset generally are the easiest to get working. Be aware that many are available on eBay and may use chips that are no longer supported by the driver software. You can get a USB to RS-232 adapter if required. Now, to fix the RS-232 Serial Port issue. Whistler may have the necessary cable if you don't have it. Some will also have a mono to stereo adapter, but those are only needed for the very old scanners. This cable will have a DB-9 for you to attach to your computer's RS-232 Serial Port (true, most newer computers no longer have these) and a 1/8" stereo audio plug to attach to the scanner. Please note that you'll need the correct programming cable for your scanner. This site also has an expired certificate so you may see warnings about that as well. Mostly that's just because it's an old page that hasn't been updated to reflect the new browsers that expect all sites to use HTTPS and other features. Please note that this is an old page and you might get some warnings when you attempt to open it.

Basically the makers have moved on to other things since scanner programming software isn't as profitable anymore so they no longer monitor the sites closely. Since they're old, there are quirks on registering that you may have to battle. To use them for longer you'll need to purchase the registration key and enter that into the software (instructions are in the user's guides). I use WIN500 so I have that URL saved and here it is Win500: WS1040, WS1065, PSR-500, PSR-600, PRO-651, PRO-652, PRO-106, PRO-197, PSR-310, PSR-410 Scanner Software for Data Management, Monitoring, and Control ()īe aware that all 3 are full versions of the software but have a 30 day expiration built in. Note, they may be links to the user's guides but using the information on them you can easily search for the software using their name(s) in your favorite search engine. The RR Wiki page for programming them is Getting Started with your GRE/RS Object Oriented Scanner - The RadioReference Wiki and there are links to the three main software packages (sorry, they're all Windows based) near the end of the page. They all do basically the same thing, just in slightly different ways so the choice isn't really "which is best" it's more like "which works closest to how I do". All of it is old, just like the radio, but work well for what they do. There is software out there that will program the Pro-197 quite nicely. That will give you some information on the scanner. Maybe it's that my programming paradigms may not have shifted completely from banks to object scanning.Here's the link to the RR Wiki for the Pro-197 Pro-197 - The RadioReference Wiki. RS normally does a very good job /w their manuals in explaining things. I actually duplicated the contents on one folder to another so I could do some editing there (that's how I got STARS to stay programmed).Īnyone /w tips on how to program items onto a now empty v-folder please let me know! I know I'm probably missing something in the manual. I had deleted the contents of several pre-programmed folders for areas I'll never see in order to free up space to program systems like the Virginia Beach P25 trunked system, the remaining STARS in VA, VIPER in NC and others, but it seems once I delete the contents I can't enter any data. Anyway, I have downloaded WIN500 will likely register a bit later but like I did /w the -95, I like to learn how to program manually so that I know how to do away from home on the fly, even though it would be like a big lumbering fly, speed wise for the -106. (WHY does every peripheral has to have a driver now?). Will have to get the cable with the driver CD soon. The scanner - PC cable I have when I had my Pro-95 doesn't seem to work for the -106. Each time I leave that V-folder then come back it reverts back to the old freqs. Last night I think I finally got some STARS to stay in but still have trouble getting the rebanded Chesapeake system to stay. I finally bought a -106 last Sunday (2/19) while it was still on special for $349, and am trying to get STARS entered and update the Chesapeake control freqs.
