. :) Hi, Just got back to the forum. IT WORKS again! FYI the win 10 format did work (it formatted the card), and I also used the "SD card formatter" it also worked. After repeated back and forth of both windows and SD formatter, EZ-Scan format failures occurred so it would not go to the...

. :unsure: OK, here is what happened (I cannot remember what it was saying when I tried to 'format' in EZ-Scan, my memory is sketchy at best). I tried to do the reload of everything through the 'prepare memory card xx but it failed the format part before it would load the configurations...

. :( While I was downloading/installing the new library, the internal PC card reader crapped. I was using an external card reader (because the internal one was under the desk in the PC) and all of a sudden the update failed. Upon retrying, the card was not recognized. I first had to remove...

. :( Hey, just where in this chart is MY WS-1080 clone (you know, the legacy upgrade version of the WS-1080)? :( :( I do believe Whistler IS NOT now (forward) in the scanner development/sale business... :( .

:) I can't use the link, browser says not there. Well, seems we know clone is not there, is 'alone' or 'blone', etc in there? LOL :) .

:) Good luck with your TRX-2! :) .

. :) Don't feel alone, after a few mini-strokes and turning 69, it is the rule than the exception! Glad you got your help! Many members help like RaleighGuy, and I certainly see it every day! Have FUN! :) .

. :eek: Less than 2 minutes searching the net. ( RadioShack PRO-51 Owners Manual ). Have fun! :eek: .

. :) Love it listening ro radio (and OTA TV) in rural areas where there isn't too much 'metal' (ie minerals in ground or metal structures above ground). Makes for a much better reception in low RFI saturation areas. Have fun (I miss the lower RFI OTA radio days/nights)... :) .

:) Sounds like a regurgitation of Radio Shack stores? LOL :) .

:) Quite a few years ago (more like a couple decades or so) I had a small box of unmarked crystals, junked them. Heard this way of finding it's frequency from a very elderly HAM back in the 70's or 80's (cannot be sure of anything nowadays so take with a grain o salt which by the way I cannot...

:( Not to mention (but I will, LOL), the scanner may need work or a realignment before the new crystals could work as cut. I agree, might want to 'archive' the radio. Good luck! :( .

. :( I've never seen someone fighting help so hard, as this member. Maybe he should find a different hobby? My only suggestion, is to find someone locally that would help find out if it is the radio or the operator. The cost may be nothing, or some reasonable fee? :( .

. :rolleyes: All you need to do then is to package up your location and sell it (please include in the package price all the various antennas as well, we all want a turnkey operation here, right?). :rolleyes: ;) Seriously, glad your setup is working, seems way too many don't have your...

. :) Glad you guys figured this out. I was beginning to wonder if MS was causing problems with software to force ppl to migrate to Win-11! :) .

. :confused: Just to be sure, you downloaded the latest EZ-Scan from whistler, correct? If it isn't a fresh download (or possibly a corrupted copy), and after doing the suggestion from member Swipesy, try downloading a fresh copy from only the whistler site. That's all I can offer you. Good...

:) IF you mean the scanner startup screen, you can change that to whatever you want in the EZ-Scan software. Your faceplate/case is the only thing that shows the GRE radio logo/information. However, I do not believe you can reverse the upgrade BUT why would you want to revert back to a GRE...

:cautious: This sounds like the issue seeing as prior damage could be overlooked inside the battery section. Avix, take a close-up picture and post it in the forum, might clarify for all who are now interested. IF this isn't the reason the batteries are exploding, you may wish to shelf the...

:) The Pro-164 uses a typical BNC connector, the recommended antenna suggested in post 2 should be fine. :) .

. ;) I was involved in radio/electronics from the mid 60's, up until recent mini-strokes have limited my interest and participation. I wasn't asking a question, I was pointing out that if you give an engineer something to 'improve' or design, they will over complicate it (and from there on...
