I've pretty much programmed my PSR500 by manually entering frequencies I find here and elsewhere and copying from others Win500 files.
Frankly, I've hesitated about upgrading my membership to premium status to have files downloaded because 1) I'm cheap and 2) The PSR500 manual promotes the RR databases prepgrammed into the '500 VScanner, but the one for NE is absolutely pathetic. Most of the frequencies are for CT. There are only three talkgroups for MA; one for Worcester, one for Cambridge (that doesn't work) and a third. No MA state police. No Boston municipal. No conventional frequencies at all.
I assume that the frequencies in the Vscanner represent some kind of compromise between GRE and RR, maybe to save memory space, so I guess I'm wondering whether I'm going to have a better scanning experience using RR's downloadable files rather than my own? I know this is subjective, but any POV would be helpful.
