Hello.
I feel very stupid asking this question. I am not totally ignorant of scanner programming, as I have successfully programmed via software my Pro-96 using Win96 by Starrsoft. When my Mom bought a Pro-197(GRE-600) and asked me to program it, I thought i should be able to do it with no problems at all. She allowed me to bring it home where I could use my existing (fully functional 20-047 USB cable) and laptop. I downloaded Starrsoft's Win500 and went to pulling freqs from here on RR.
But, when I try to upload to the scanner, it times out and nothing happens. I am using the mono-adapter on my cord, as I thought the Radio Shack site said my Pro-96 AND the Pro-197 need it.
Now I read in the GRE-600 manual that for "cloning" a STEREO plug is needed... I have been fearful of damaging something if I plug in my USB cable's stereo plug into the scanner, not knowing if it is safe to do if there is a mismatch or not.
If there is something ELSE I need to do in order to get the scanner to talk back to my otherwise working setup, I sure could use some advice. I am fine with my Pro-96, but I cant get this GRE-600 (Pro-197 really) to talk to my Win500 program at all.
Is there anything I missed?
Thanks Guys. This is probably easy-peasy, but its escaping me at the moment.
