CFO (Chief Fix-It Officer)
Hello:
I have a pro-197 and a pro-106 digital scanners. Scanning of my local public safety bands went quite a while ago and I have finally gotten around to fixing it. I have Win500 and I renewed my subscription to RR. Personally, I like to understand the principles and not only rely on the convenience of importing but, time is limited so I did an import and everything seems to work. I did not change anything in the Win500 system to tell it the system I imported was rebranded.
My questions are:
1) Do you have to select a rebanding checkbox in Win500 if you import a system?
2) if you don't need to select the rebanding option when importing from RR, when would you select it? I assume if I manually entered the new frequencies in Win500 I would then have to select the rebanding option?
3) what would happen if I selected the rebanding option after I do an import? Or does the import set the rebanding option.
I read about the whole rebanding theory this morning but I guess I am confused what exactly the rebanding option does in software.
What if I did not have Win500, how would I tell the scanner it was rebranded and to calculate channels correctly?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
