Well, I've been working on this thing about 9 hours straight. I've got a couple of talk groups where I get half of the conversation.
I'm really trying not to ask for too much help on every little thing, but honestly doing very little things with this scanner takes enormous effort and I don't know what else to do.
Here are the 3 immediate problems I'm faced with;
1. I cannot get a preset group to stop scanning. For example, selecting FM broadcast and Military air, I'm now scanning an EDACS system and the FM and military and I cannot make them STOP scanning.
2. Connecting to a PC does nothing. Connected to a serial cable and there is not response from either the PC or scanner.
3. Talk groups only get half of the conversation. I have no programmed every talk group in my area, only the one's I'm interested in, and I can tell I'm only getting one side of the conversation. No clue on this one.
I'm a bit disappointed that the scanner is this hard to program. I mean, I can understand with digital it being more difficult, but this thing is seriously lacking simple functions. The manual is cryptic and assumes that you already know all of the lingo and symbols. It's largely unhelpful. It doesn't even mention connecting it to a PC. Come on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
