Howard, I'd also suggest the
win97 software. It's almost as simple as just typing it in to the software, and win97 comes with a free trial.
Head to our wiki and check out the links for the
Pro-97,
Pro-2055, &
Pro-2052.
The Pro-97 & 2055 are GRE manufactured, and the Pro-2052 is made by Uniden. That being said, the programming steps for the 97 & 2055 are similar (if you got to know them), but the 2052 is a different
beast. I have two of them and they are not quite as intuitive as the GREs.
If I was in your area I'd offer help, but I think the best bet is this site (specifically the Radio Shack and Uniden Forums on this site) as well as the DFWScan Yahoo Group.
Welcome to RR, glad to have you on board.
