pro-197

Hello. I am a newbie up front. I have just purchased a Radio Shack Pro-197 and I love it. I have ARC500 PRO software and a premium membership to Radioreference. I have most of my county freqs working but I am having trouble with the Talkgroups as shown in Radioreference. There are three...

This will seem like a silly question... but... How do you change from one scan list to another and have it stay on the second scanlist. We have several scan lists built and loaded (from ARC500) and when we try to go from say list 4 to list 5 it just turns them off or on and/or it does not go...

Im new into the 800 Trunking. i just picked up a pro-197 scanner from radio shack, I have all the frequencies that I need Fire,Ems,and Police wise. However, I don't quite get how to program the 800 trunking part of it. Im using the ARC500 software. Do I need to program the 800 frequencies...

I have a PRO-197 Digital Trunking Scanner, I have Hendricks County Fire/EMS loaded into my scanner. All channels worked perfect for the last several months, however for some reason now I am only getting Dispatch, EMS, Fire, and Med Channels. The OPS channels are no longer working... Any idea why...

Hello All, I just got a PRO-197 scanner as an early X-mas present! I was so excited when I got it home last night and started programming it. I am running into 2 problems though, even though I have been able to program a few frequencies on my own. I cannot get any software to interface with...

Ok, so I should start by saying that I am brand new to all of this and i have very little idea of what I am doing. I need someone who can give me very simple step by step instructions. I live in Indiana. I am a member of the Radioreference site and am a premium subscriber. I have downloaded...

Well heres my lovely shack Feedback welcomed :) I am running a Scanner ~ Pro-197 RS digital scanner Software ~ Scanner Recorder Pro and for the feed I run Scannercast and also RadioFeed I have a paper with all the 10 codes, so if I forget a code, all I have to do is look at the sheet.

Hello all! I'm currently based in Ponchatoula, and am interested in monitoring the New Orleans Police Department on LWIN with my PRO-197. I am not allowed to erect a base antenna and am restricted to the issue antenna that came with the scanner. I programmed in the Hammond, Pam Am, Kenner...

I'm using a trial version of software that came with RS usb adapter for RS 2096 digital scanner. I would like to have ONE SOFTWARE PACKAGE that will program the digital trunking scanners such as RS PRO-197, PRO-2096, UNIDEN 396, Uniden 996T , GRE 600 etc.. Is there a full featured programming...

I'm new to the Digital Scanner world and don't have a clue to what I really need to program the P25 type groups. I have a Pro-197 and am going to listen to the TVRT area commincations. I was woundering pro/neg thoughts on the PSREdit500 software. Its looks like something I could understand. Thanks

I have a Pro-197 that I have programmed with my local (Lake County, OH) trunked radio system and talkgroups, conventional freqs but when I load the Ohio MARCS I get no voice. It shows a good signal but no radio traffic for any Ohio State Patrol District 4 posts. I have programmed MARCS into...

So... I took the leap and bought a digital scanner yesterday. I went with the R/S PRO-197. I can track conventional systems like a gem. (It's actually AMAZING at it.) But... when I go to the digital side of things, thats where my problems start. I've never done the digital or trunking stuff. I'm...

Hello! I am using Win500 v1.94 on a Windows7/x64 based system, and it's working great! One thing I have noticed, however, is that when scanning and recording all stations that are being heard, Win500 does not always record every conversation. I have tried this with a Pro-106 and a Pro-197...

Just curious, does anyone know if they are the same radios in different forms? Or does one have something that the other doesn't? John

Hi there... I am not sure if this is a SCANNER question or a WIN500 question, but I'll ask here first. I am setting up my Mom's new Pro-197 for the first time. I think I have about everything functioning and am pretty comfortable with navigating the menus in Win500. Anyway, when the scanner...

Hello. I feel very stupid asking this question. I am not totally ignorant of scanner programming, as I have successfully programmed via software my Pro-96 using Win96 by Starrsoft. When my Mom bought a Pro-197(GRE-600) and asked me to program it, I thought i should be able to do it with no...

This morning my PRO-197 showed every character on the display mirrored. The words still read from left to right, but each character or number was mirrored. At first I thought I was still asleep, rubbed my eyes, but the characters were still mirrored. WEIRD! I took some photos for posterity to...

CPU 1.7 firmware Release Radio shack has released the CPU 1.7 firmware upgrade for the Pro 106 and Pro 197. The current RS site links are not formulated properly, but the firmware is able to be downloaded. I have downloaded and installed it to be sure the upgrade worked before I posted this...

I'm looking for an experienced programmer of a Pro-197. Being familiar with Westmoreland County, PA would be a plus.

Good day, I've picked up a Pro-197 and have been surfing the forum looking for thoughts on which software package to use for programming it. Cost is not an object, so if anyone would like to chime in with more thoughts, it would be appreciated. Many thanks... mattaio
