I seen that, so 32 per bank right?

No, 32 per system.
This is difficult for a first time user, how do I put 32 in what system and where on the win 500? Not very literate with this new program. Thanks for helping by the way, getting frustrating already, been at this for 2 hours.
If you can, can you email me a step by step on how to get this scanner going to: sterlingcat12001@comcast.net thanks
It's not "per bank". The Object Oriented scanners, like your PSR-600, do not have "banks" in the sense that the older Pro-90 & Pro-2096 did. This Wiki article, and the links it contains, helps explain this more fully:
Getting Started with your GRE/RS Object Oriented Scanner - The RadioReference Wiki
Your limit is 32 frequencies per TSYS object, which is what the scanner calls a trunked system. It appears that you are trying to import the entire SAFE-T system into one system. That's a large statewide system, and also why you are getting the error message. As a practical matter, there is no place in the state that you'd hear all of those transmit sites or all of those talkgroups. Each site only carries the talkgroups from it's area, not all of them statewide. The only time you'd hear radio traffic from a group 'out of your area' (like from the other side of the state) is if a unit from that jurisdiction was in your vicinity, and his or her radio affiliated with one of your local towers. Otherwise, you'd never hear them at all.
You would be better served by creating a TSYS object, and importing the 4, 5, or (or so) sites that are in your home area, or where you frequently travel to or through. With each site having, at most, 4 control channels, you probably can cover the transmit sites in your county and the surrounding area in one system. For talkgroups, import only those of interest in that same area (they're broken out by county), as well as, perhaps, the state police troop(s) that cover that area.
If you have another area that you want to cover, then create an additional TSYS object, with a different name, importing the sites (up to 32 frequencies, which, if each had the maximum 4 control channels listed, would be no more than 8 sites) and talkgroups for that region. If you assign the talkgroups for these two trunk systems (TSYS objects) you've created to different scanlists, then you can toggle them on and off separately. Use the multi-site function of your choice to have the scanner check the multiple control channels in each of the systems you've created.
If you haven't done so already, see the Win500 guide on the UtahRadio site.

You're almost there. Just deselect all towers and only add the ones local to you. That will keep you under the 32 limit.
OK, this might take awhile, I imported my pro 96 and put in it, but only receiving conventional it seems, I had digital in it and getting IN state police on my pro 96, but no state on the PSR 600 so far, going to print all this out and see if I can get what you 2 are trying to tell me.
Is there a way to erase whatever I put in so far and start from scratch?
Did as you explained, just checked local towers for both talk groups & id's, uploaded to scanner without problems, now the scanner is telling me nothing enabled, how do I enable playlists?

See section 5 of the Win500 article - it deals with the 'nothing enabled' message...Mike
Mike I believe I did assign the frequencies I downloaded into a play list, this is exactly what I did. I selected the towers close to me in the found ID's, put those in playlist 1, then I took the talk groups I wanted and put them in playlist 1, or do I put the talk groups in playlist 2?

I don't believe Win500 uses 'play lists' - it uses Scan Lists. I'm not a RS/GRE user, but it appears that once you build your scan lists, you must tell Win500 which Scan list to use. The pix there are pretty clear ... perhaps you could dump your file out to a .zip file (using any one of the popular zip utiltites, such as WinZip or 7-Zip), attach it to your message and let other Win500 users jump in here - otherwise we can be shooting blanks here...Mike
Using version 2.06 evaluation version, Before I assigned them to a playlist, I checked off boxes that said, 1- Also create group and private wildcards 2- Set objects "Notes" field to RR's group/description display.
I don't understand it, but it works now for digital, I guess I should do the same for all digital frequencies!!

Let me be the to tell ya all, it never feels so good to get this thing working, starting to understand the win 500 program. Now on to figuring out how to setup alert tones for certain frequencies...
Have several towers on it now, everything in Indiana. All working finally..

Can you point out where they are called "Play lists"?
I have never seen that on my Win500, or the PSR600.
My bad, they are called scan lists, I seen playlists on my Radio Shack PRO 18
WIN92 Problem?
I am trying to program a Pro-2067 using WIN92. I have the lastest ver.00.46 installed and using R/S cable 20-047 with latest driver installed (2.8.24.0) on Windows 7 OS on COM Port 7. The download from scanner worked successfully (green light only on usb adapter during download), but it will not upload to scanner. It goes through the upload process (green & red lights on usb adapter),but afterwards the scanner didn't update my new data. I just plugged the cable in the pc/if port. Is there something I need to do to the scanner to put it in PC mode? I didn't have to when downloading from scanner. My program file is attached to this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to use standard com port with win500?
I have cheap usb to ttl cable that can be used for my pro106 pc cable.
