I hate to say this but I am at a loss here with this new scanner. I have two Unidens: a BCD996XT and a BCT15X and had no trouble importing the RadioReference database for my county using Freescan. Freescan was simple to use and when finished the Uniden scanners just took right off and started scanning and receiving.
I decided I wanted a handheld unit too so I bought the PSR-500 as I read that it is supposed to be more sensitive. I use a wide band Larsen in the attic for the Unidens but want to rely only on the small antenna that comes with the handheld for portability around the house.
This PSR-500, it just sits there with the "Press NEW to create objects" on the screen and and the NEW EDIT GLOB over the soft keys. I thought I imported the Conventional and Trunked RR database for my county using WIN500 but when I press SCAN I get "Nothing enabled." I installed the USB drivers for the GRE programming cable and the PC is communicating with the scanner and it appeared that I had a successful upload of the database. I know this makes me look kinda like an idiot but what do I do next?
