Anyone having trouble receiving "hit" counts using win500 on a pro106? I have checked enable hit counts but when i download from the scanner no hit counts are shown.
Win500 hit count

Have you added the hit count column by right clicking the header row and adding hit column in the conventional objects tab?
WIN500 and hit counts
Hit counts work fine for me; although there are dozens of issues I am not happy about. Apparently the hit counts max out at 10000. Also, it is a PITA to edit files and maintain the hit counts.

After “Summit County Regional 800 Radio” in Ohio rebanded, I had to redo all my p500 files and must have gotten confused downloading and uploading my files because miraculously everything is fine now. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Still a newbie after 3 years.

That limit is hard-coded in the scanner's firmware.
I suspected that, except for it being an odd number. Would have expected 65535 at the very least. Thanks, Don

Someone might want to tell my 197 it's doing something wrong, I have over 30,000 hit's on 2 different frequencies.

If those hit counts were actually generated in the scanner (as opposed to, say, generated within Win500 in "monitor" mode and then uploaded to the scanner), then yes, your PRO-197 is doing something wrong.
According to the PSR-500 family source code, object (talkgroup, conventional channel, search, etc.) hit counts are only incremented if the current object hit count is less than 10,000.

Win500 will log hits within the software if you leave it connected to the scanner while monitoring/recording (if you have the Update hit counts in active file option turned on). That would be separate from what the scanner's internal hit counter is recording, which according to Don caps out at 10000.
Try reading the scanner's memory and see what the hit counts are (assuming you have the Enable Hit Counts option turned on in the scanner).

I downloaded it just be before I posted it.

Here is a second screen shot.

Do you ever use your PRO-197 with Win500 in the program's "monitor / control" mode? If so, hit counts are not limited by the scanner's 10,000 count value. Instead, Win500 will allow the count to go to 65,535. If you then upload that .P500 file to the scanner, the scanner will now have Win500's count.
The scanner itself, though, should never increment the hit count for any scannable object beyond 10,000.

That depends on what happened before downloading from the scanner into Win500.
If you download from the scanner, run Win500 in "monitor/control" mode (with Win500's hit count updating enabled), let the hit counts get to 30,000, then upload to the scanner, the scanner will now have the large values. Subsequent downloads from the scanner will contain those large values - but the scanner should never increment them beyond 10,000.

Yes I do, but not every day, when I'm searching, or have programed something new looking for the tone.
Are they all the same
Do you Don, expect the PSR-500, PSR-600, PRO-106 and PRO-197 to all behave in the same manner with regards to hit counts? Thanks

Yes, I would expect all in the PSR-500 family (which is defined as the 4 models listed above) to behave the same regarding hit counts. There is nothing "model-specific" in the hit count source code.
(The PSR-310 and PSR-410 might also be included. They're really analog-only versions of the PSR-500/600 and were derived from my PSR-500 source code. However, I wasn't involved in the porting of that source to those new models, so I cannot be completely sure that the hit count feature was/wasn't modified.)
When hit count > 10,000
I haven't used the virtual scanner software; but it sounds interesting as I wonder what happens once the count in the scanner is set above 10,000 (and obviously below 65,535) as that appears to make it count again.
I have all of these models (except the PRO-106 or PSR-410) and run the PSR-310 by far the most. It is on that model (and the '500) that I clearly see the hit counts maxing out at 10,000.
