Hi all - I'm new here and new to scanners, etc. I've started out very slow and purchased a few used items (radios, scanners etc). I have a Radio Shack Pro-2055 that is giving me trouble. I'm sure it's me, but I have no idea how. Here's the rundown:
1. Scanner is used and programed with someone else's information from KY - I am in Texarkana
2. I purchased the easy to use (yeah right) RS Scanner Programming Cable with Trial Software.
3. I installed and downloaded freq for my area (great little list)
4. I followed all the instructions and ran the program.
Even after upload, I'm still stuck with the other's guy's name on the opening screen and all his freq from KY. I can't change it to my name and my uploads don't appear to be anywhere. It simply scans his KY freq. constantly after telling me my name is his in the opening. I had hoped the software would allow me to clear the scanner completely, put in my information and location, and then download my freq list. Maybe it does, but I don't know all the terms on this ARC 300 software.
I'm also working on the Ham Radio Lic, so I have no doubt I will be back. Oh additional information:
1. I downloaded the user manual and it says nothing about how to set the owner.
2. I have run the ARC 300 software connected and "uploaded to the scanner" the freq.
3. It says "Upload is complete, please remove cable from scanner to reboot scanner
4. Still can't find freq.
Thanks for any pointers - keeping in mind I'm new....
