Pro-97 Download Question

Chuck63 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-24-2013, 2:25 PM

I am a premium subsciber to radioreference. I downloaded the software from the internet. Chose my scanner from radioshack (PRO 97 ). Started software. window comes up I click on internet import. My user ID is Correct and my password are correct. After it tries to download on the frequency page a message comes up (init not ok, can't read user data ). Whats up??

Did you register your version of WIN97? I think the import feature may only be available to users who have also registered the software. Check the info related to "30 day free trial". Otherwise, check what it says here.

I can't find where the OP mentions StarrSoft's Win97.

I believe it's the only software available for the Pro-97, so that kinda narrows it down

Actually there are at least three—the miserable scancat product (though it likely doesn't do the "internet import" mentioned by the OP), the made-in-Europe brand, and Win97.

The OP wrote "I click on internet import"—Win97 never uses the wording "internet import" to commence the Web import from RadioReference.com.

Additionally, the "trial version" of Win97 is fully functional—no need to register the software to do a Web import—only time-limited to thirty days.

also at the top of frequency page when I click on the internet tab, radioreference import. up pops radioreference web service build 55

It makes me wonder if you have a firewall in the way somehow.
