We just recently moved to a new location and I need some help programming the new frequencies. I lost my book and don't know how to download the new frequencies for this area.

Here's a link to a page which includes the Quick Start Guide and User's Manual. If you need additional help, please indicate what software you are using and some additional info on the nature of the problem you are having.

Here is a link to an easier to read manual for your Pro-197. Also, if you are not using any software to program, perhaps you should consider it. Programming can be a tedious job without software.

You should also consider a Premium Subscription. Several resources on the RR Web site cannot be accessed without a Premium Subscription including importing systems for your area to your scanner.

Programming Pro-197

Have a new pro-197. I have the Driver disc and interface cable from Radio Shack.(Item 20-047). I also have the PSRedit software for the scanner. My problem...I can't seem to get the interface cable driver to load onto my computer. I have downloaded frequencies from RR using the PSREdit software...but when I go to load the frequencies into the scanner..I get a message saying timeout....obviously a problem linking the computer to the scanner.....any ideas to get me headed in the right direction?? Thanks for your assistance.

From the instructions which came with the GRE PSR-600 (sister to the Pro-197):

"Note: Do not insert the USB cable into the USB port on your computer before installing the USB driver."

This may be the problem.
