So I've been playing around with my new Pro-18 and having no luck being a CDN using the included software iScan, not only is it older and version 1.02 but has no CDN channels so I downloaded the PSR-800 EZScan software and didn't have luck with yesterday but today I did.
So here is what I did, first I put a brand new 16GB micro CD card in it's reader, not the scanner.
With the Radio Shack software iScan (included with Pro-18, ver 1.02)
1) With iScan software I formatted a new 16GB micro card.
With Gre America's software EZScan (included with PSR-800, ver 1.05)
--------------------------------------------------
2) I did all the normal library updates and such, importing of channels to certain scanner lists 1-5 for now.
3) I then copied the configuration over to the SD card, then copied library over.
3) In Windows Explorer I went into the Playlist folder (CDAT), and removed playlists 6-154. (Why you may ask? The Pro-18 only has 100 playlists, compared to the PSR-800, which has 200 factory playlists, remember I'm using it's software.)
Finally
--------
4) Inserted newly created SD card into the Pro-18, it took a bit longer on start-up cause it had to initialize a much larger SD card but once up and running I quickly noticed the Playlists were now called Scanlist, which is one difference between just naming conventions on the 2 different devices but it just goes to show how Object Oriented handheld scanners have this commonality with programming. Anyway I quickly started receiving OPP, Ford Motor Company, all kinds of chatter.
So now I can go in and start renaming my Scanlists now that I know it works with EZScan.
