Hello, I'm very new to scanning. I paid for the premium subscription to RR and I thought that included the ARC300 software, but it says "Trial Week" or something like that. Anyway, I can't get the thing to upgrade the firmware to 108. I have the version 101 boot-something or other, and version 107 firmware. The cable I got with the scanner was a 20-546, not the 047 or whatever one that's mentioned in other posts. But it says it's for this model scanner, and it plugs into the PC/IF jack (with adapter). It seemed to be loading the scanner when I went to the "Read" option, but it didn't say anything on the scanner at the time, so I really don't know if it's even working there. This is very frustrating. I went the the "View" web page and hit "Download", but it doesn't seem to do anything except go to a page that gives incomplete instructions. I'm getting the weather report and a few pre-programmed channels, but that's not what I want to listen to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm in Portland, OR, Multnomah County, using Windows 7 - 64 bit if that helps. I've set up the 64-bit drivers for the USB cable from the disk that came with the cable.
