Lower case letters when hand programing pro106

[Clay320]

Is there a way to get lowercase letters when naming channels while hand programing a pro106? My primary computer now is a mac and there are no scanner programs for mac that I know of. So most programing now is by hand, which I don't mind, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do lowercase letters. Any ideas?

It's in the manual. Easier to Read Pro-106/197/PSR500/600 Digital Scanner Manual

When you get the letters on the display, push function. The letter case should change.

FUNC toggles between upper and lower case.

You can run radio programs on a Mac. All of my computers are Macs. I run my Icom software through the WINE emulator. You could always run a copy of Windows through Boot Camp. I am told Fusion works well, too. But, I don't have any experience with those. I don't know where you are located but, quite often; Best Buy runs a 15.4" Windows laptop for $199.00. Even if you just put your radio software on it, it's really not a lot of money wasted. Good luck.

I have a netbook I bought really cheap ($150 for a high end refurb was $400, that actually appeared to be new)mostly just to run Win500 and the HP1 software on. Works great, and is handy for a backup PC for browsing, etc.

Thanks for the help.

I'm looking into to wine emulator stuff, I'll give that a try if I can figure it out

There is a good tutorial out there. It's not all that difficult. But, to load it is time consuming. Took my MacBook about 30 minutes running behind the scenes. But, once loaded; my Icom programs open just as if they were actually written for a Mac.
