ARC500 software question?

[crippledchicken]

I made up a file and uploaded it to my Whistler ws1065 and now, the signal bars don't work? I tried these instructions from the arc wiki but I don't see the lock option they say to untic any ideas? Thanks!

S Meter Issues
PRO651/PRO652: If the smeter does not work then you need to modify the following settings in the expert settings:

• Select VIEW _ EXPERT in the top menu
• Click Global Settings then select the EXPERT tab
• Untick the LOCK option
• Locate the RSSI Signal section and enter: BAR1=190 BAR2=230 BAR3=260 BAR4=290 BAR5=320
• Upload the file to the scanner, this will restore the s-meter

All the way at the bottom..

Gotta make the window as big as possible, doesn't seem to have a scroll bar on that view.

My screen only goes down to Trunking CH# ?

 

[u2brent]

It's in there.
pita, you can try adjusting the screen resolution (making everything smaller), or try hiding the task bar to stretch that window a little lower.. Or full screen that window.. IDK

I changed screen resolution now it's there do I just need to make the changes then, write just that to scanner or the complete file again?

 

[u2brent]

yes uncheck the box.
make any adjustments to those display values.
re check the box (if you like)
save your changes.
then write to the radio.

I believe it will re-write the whole file that's currently active.

I'll give it a try Thanks very much!

yeah, open your saved file, or read from the radio, save that as a file/profile.
make those changes, save again or save under a new name.
then write to the radio.. Hope that makes sense..
