Pro-163 w/PSREdit Working in Ubuntu Linux w/Wine!

[natrixgli]

Hi,

I've seen a lot of unanswered threads about scanner software on 'nix so I thought I'd post that I did manage to get PSREdit (trial version) working with my Pro-163 (GRE-300) via Wine in Ubuntu 8.10.

I had to install the latest version of Wine to get the RadioShack 20-247 USB/Serial cable to recieve data properly, though pre-update I was at least able to update the firmware on my scanner. Below I'll post some fairly simple instructions.

For the sake of continuity, I've moved the full instructions here: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index...Edit_with_Wine

Cheerio,

Outstanding work on the wiki article! Now if this message cycles off, your details are still easily available. Wish others would do the same with the other PSR software (hint, hint)....73 Mike

Thanks!

I tried to make it coherent, I hope it helps someonei. I've watched the page, I'll keep it updated as I learn more about the PSREdit/Wine relationship.

(Right now I'm just overjoyed to have 8 full banks in my Pro-163 finally!)


Cheerio,
