I just picked up a clearance Pro-18 for $199 @ the local RS and the software won't load. I get an error 740 message. Is there a way around it to get the software loaded?
I got one of those deals from RS and installed on Windows 8 yesterday. Everything works and updates fine except the fimware update. Did the routine several times but no luck. Keep us posted if you have any more problems (or success).
I just wish I could copy and paste my PSR800 configuration into the PRO18. Save me a lot of work.
Does the Pro-18 use EZScan as does the PSR800? If so, can you not just save your 800 profile to Archive and then restore the Archive to your 18?

Seems as if somebody managed to get it to work!
Did he ever get the program to work
I am giving this a try now...
Sorry if this is going a bit off-topic, but my PRO-18 occasionally will lock up during power-on. It gets about half the splash screen (shows Radio Shack and nothing else) and there it stops. Only way to get out of it is to disconnect power (if connected -- it does it both on batteries and plugged into the wall wart or cigarette lighter adapter) then remove a battery and wait about 30 seconds. Then it will come on and work fine. It isn't anything earthshaking, just wondering if anybody else's does this.
The PSR-800 and Pro-18 are file compatible. I copied my 800 file to the 18 software for a friend of mine and he wrote it to his 18 just fine. The 18 doesn't support V folders so you will only get what is in your current folder and it doesn't support 200 scan lists but as long as you are under 100 it should be fine
