RS PRO-107 Database or Firmware Update

[w1rc]

Hi All...

I recently acquired a RADIO SHACK PRO-107 which is essentially a GRE-700 scanner. Does anyone know where I might get the latest database and software updates?

thanks in advance,....

Pro-107 Handheld Scanner

I bought this scanner sometime back in 2011. The box that it came with has long since disappeared from my belongings and is someplace where the Gremlin that hides my socks hangs out. Anyways, I located the iSCAN software for this and I was wondering if anyone had any leads on where to purchase...

Someone sent me this link:

Legacy Scanner Downloads

Legacy scanner downloads for GRE and Radioshack models Pro-18, Pro-668 and PSR-800 offered by Whistler

whistlergroup.com

it looks like the library database for the PCR-800 and I am wondering if it is the same for the PCR-700 which is the same scanner as my PRO-107. The format looks the same.

According to the warnings on that page:

**IMPORTANT**
This software is intended for use with scanners that have been upgraded through our legacy scanner upgrade program only. Attempting to update a scanner that has not been upgraded will cause the scanner to stop functioning.

I would say not.

The database file seems to be the same format as the files on my computer and on the SD card. Here is the answer:

For those experiencing Library update issues with the GRE and RadioShack pc apps, you can download the WS1080 EZ Scan pc app and update the library then copy the contents of the DB folder to the the DB folder for your GRE or Radio Shack pc app. This takes about 1 minute.

For those that do not want to install the WS1080 EZ Scan pc app, you can go to the download page at Downloads and select the WS1080, there you will find a Library_dbfiles_###.zip file that can be downloaded. Once downloaded you will need to unzip the file then copy the contents into the DB folder of your pc app. Updated Library versions will be posted weekly.

My iScan software version is 1.06. Anyone know of a a higher version?

The old HRE America web site is still active (as of May 29th 2021). Apparently, Raj who was one of the principals is keeping it up,with downloadable manuals and software,

GRE America Inc.

The last version of the programming software for them PRO-107 is v1.06. So between the Whistler and the GRE America site we should be okay with this and the digital version PSR-108.
