Import a list of Freq's directly into a Scanlist?

[Mikejo]

This is for a GRE PSR-800 !

I want to create a scan list with about 200 frequencies.

Most if not all of these frequencies are not in the Frequency Database.

In EZ-Scan, it will allow you to import frequencies under the "Conventional Frequencies" tab within EZ-Scan, which will just add to the bulk of frequencies already there. (NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO).

In EZ-SCAN, you can create a scan list, and add frequencies manually however, it is a tedious operation just to input one frequency at a time in order to build a scan list.

I have around 200 frequencies I would like to place into a scan list, this method is un-acceptable for this purpose.

Is there a way to do this by means of just cutting and pasting the frequencies into a scan list?

I do not want to add these to my conventional database and screw it all up permanently, I just want to scan these frequencies for a brief period of time in order to find just a few valid frequencies, then delete this scan list and create one based on the valid frequencies I've identified.

I know I could use the "Search" feature by adding a lower and higher frequency limits, but this will defeat my purpose giving me things I am not looking for. the frequencies I will be using are for a specific purpose
otherwise I'm dead it the water with this endeavor.

Any help appreciated...

Regards, Mike

There is an import function in the lower right corner of the conventional tab in EZ Scan. You can import from the clipboard or from a file.

Sounds like you might want to create a new V-Scanner folder and import into that new V-Scanner (to keep things separate). The other option is to set the "default" scanlist in the General settings tab to an unused scanlist and import into that....

Hope that helps.

Perhaps the new "V-Scanner" Method might be the thing, I'll look into it

Thanks Troy!

In theory, you should be able to import into an unused scanlist (i.e. scanlist 200) of your existing V-Scanner folder without any issues but the PSR-800 EZ Scan is getting pretty old and lots of changes have occured with the new(er) Whistler versions so...

There is also a "Save to Archive" option under the File menu that would allow you to make a backup of your current V-Scanner - just in case something goes wrong - so you can get back to where you started. Yet another option is to go into your EZ Scan folder on your PC and make a backup copy of the CDAT folder for your current config -- essentially for the same reason...

So, you have several options.

I used the "V-Scanner" Method, and it worked for my purposes.

It is the best option, because it will essentially be painless to delete the "V-Scanner" folder when I'm done.

Excellent - there's plenty of options ...
