Apologies in advance for this really newbie question and apologies for not spending a week going through every page of the manual before asking.
I've only had my PSR500 for a day or so. I used the Win95-96 converter program to convert my old Pro-95 Win95 files to be able to be imported through Win500, which it seemed to do fine.
The conventional channels came in fine, but it also imported my old 800 MHz Motorola Massachusetts state police trunking setups (these are analog, not digital), some of which used fleet map designations that I got from the web. It's unclear to my limited technical knowledge of the PSR500 manual about how one programs fleet maps with it--or whether one needs to anymore? At the moment, I'm not getting any "signals" from the imported talkgroups, so I assume that I did something wrong, since my Pro 95 is still getting them in. I'll spend more time on this this weekend, but I was hoping I might get this question out and get an answer before I totally mess everything up with it. If I need to program these talkgroups, etc. that's perfectly fine with me. Just to want to make sure I'm not missing anything here.
Thanks in advance.
