FreeScan question

Okay, I'm stumped.

Just got my BCT15 today and I've been trying to put it through it paces, but it hasn't been easy but that's neither here nor there.

Here's the problem I'm having at the moment...

I want to import the Chicago PD citywide frequencies into a group, so I'm doing FILE -> IMPORT -> Radio Reference Conventional. I'm connecting, selecting USA -> Illinois -> then Cook County. So far, so good (I think).

When it pulls up all the groups for Cook, every box is checked. If I try to do an 'import,' it proceeds to import every group. I don't need / want to import 373 groups.

Is there any way to quickly uncheck all the boxes? I really don't feel like unchecking 372 boxes just so I can import the one group I want.

I'm a total noob when it comes to DMA and it's associated software, so I'm probably just overlooking something, but any hints / suggestions / tips / comments will be GREATLY appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

SSSS

Unfortunetly there is no way to deselect all. If you are intetested in one group only, I would suggest clicking on the "View In Browser" button to bring up the county, then use the EZ-Grab feature to import the specific one you want.

There is a wiki entry on EZ-Grab here:

Hope that helps.

I see what you mean. The good news is that it put it into 19 system folders, just delete all the folders you don't need and keep the folder with all the police groups. You can futher delete groups from that folder to get what you need.
I just tried it and that is what I had to do to get the CPD.

I'll give it another go and see how that works out.

Thanks for the tip.
