psr-500

I purchased a GRE PSR-500. Monitoring OPD and Fire is great. However, the Offutt system is just mainly a silent signal. I remember this vaguely in the past with other scanners. I'm using the Win500 software to program the psr500...what should I do? Is it scrambled? Sometimes maintenance...

Hello, I'm having more trouble than I should to program my PSR-500 for Sacramento's Public Safety trunking system. I think it all comes down to which of the following TSYS "Types" I should use: (1) Mot 800/900 (2) Mot VHF/UHF (3) P25 Manual (4) P25 Automatic (5) EDACS Standard (6)...

My apologies if this has been answered previously. I just bought my first PSR-500 at Hamvention, and noticed yesterday that there is a constant hiss from the speaker while scanning. From my days of working on stereos, it sounds like part of keeping theAF amp transistors biased. (The hiss is...

First error with my PSR-500. Worked fine the night before, was listening to the TG's working the President's visit. Next morning, it turned on OK. But when I pressed any button except the light button, it would display "Heap Error" with some numbers in the line below that. Did some testing by...

Hello all I was planning on buying a scanner. Now I pretty much understand how trunking works. I have been researching scanning for about a year and I am a new ham as well. Now here in columbus, oh they use a motorola type II system which is analog. Now if I wasn't going all over the states i...

Well, after using the my new PSR-500 for about 1 1/2 weeks, I quickly came to the conclusion that the belt clip is definitely inferior and certainly the worst part of this otherwise great radio. I dug around in the parts bin at the house and found a new Motorola HT1250 clip. It has a similar...

Has anyone ever posted how Spectrum Sweeper actually works? I've picked up bits and pieces along the way through several threads. What I'm looking for is an authoritative, concise, semi-technical, "no kidding" description of how Spectrum Sweeper actually does what it does. If you're not sure...

Looking back at the original thread that first introduced the PSR-500 I've noticed there are some design changes that have occurred, and some that seem to be on par with the upcoming RadioShack release. Looking at all three, I believe I like the original design and color. Just checking to see...

Does the PSR-500 support EDACS talkgroup patches? This thread implies that it does, however I've not had any luck. An example of a talkgroup patch would be ID 04-021 and 04-023 being patched as ID 15-157. It would be nice to still tune either 04-021 or -023 and be able to follow the group is...

Does anyone have a marine frequency file (VHF and even UHF) that they can send me so I can import it into Win500 to load into my GRE (PSR500 and 600) scanners? Or are the conventional frequency files on RR someplace that I keep missing. Also looking for railroad freqs if you have those also. If...
