Default Help! Oklahoma City Has Rebanded...

Ok, I desperately need help trying to program my RS Pro-106 scanner to pick up the newly rebanded channels in OKC. Here's what I've done so far; got the programming cable from RS, installed the free trial software (came with the cable) and downloaded the firmware update from RS.com. As far as the installation goes, everything went fine. Now I need some help on tying that all together and successfully updating my scanner so I can once again listen to all the channels. Thank you!

P.S. I'm trying to listen to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (Troop A Metro/Rural & Turnpikes near OKC)

The software should be ARC-500. If you navigate to the TRS, and set the tables to custom and then double click, it should give you the option to set rebanding tables! There should be a drop Down list that will have something like "800 rebanded." Select that, and then see below (after the WIN-500 stuff)!

I would recommend downloading the trial of Win-500 and using that!
It is much easier!

Make sure the tables are set, and then ensure that the systems tables say "custom."
Then load that to your scanner, and you are done!

So I am using the converter to get my ID's & frequencies, but when I go to download them to the scanner, there's nothing. If you don't mind, can you break it down step-by-step.

ARC 500 is a great software program. I use it for my Pro 106. This may help you.
