SCANNING THE AIRWAVES SINCE 1987
Having an issue when it comes to programming my PRO-197, and I'm hoping someone may be able to help me resolve this issue.
I'm using PSREdit500 on a Windows 7 computer. I've got everything programmed in the software just the way I want it, but when I go to upload it to the scanner, I first get a popup box that says, "waiting for scanner." After about 5 to 8 seconds, a second box pops up stating, "Send initialize timeout! Please make sure USB cable is connected and try again."
I'm pretty sure I have the correct driver(s) installed because the USB cable is connected, and I am able to remotely control the scanner; I even get the flashing red and green lights in the box on the cable. But when I try to upload, it's a no-go. You'd think if the computer and radio are talking to each other for remote control, they would talk to each other for file transfers as well.
Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this, and if so, how you overcame the problem. If I just had a couple of systems I wanted to listen to, I'd program the scanner manually, but I plan on utilizing about 15 or so scanlists, and I don't have the time, nor the patience, to do all of that manually.
Any help, comments, tips and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
