From Don's Win93 page:

Win93 is a Windows "GUI" application for the Radio Shack Pro-93 trunking scanner. It allows you to read data from the scanner, make changes via the GUI, and write the modified data back. It will read / write the scanner in less than 60 seconds. You can maintain a "library" of data files to be downloaded or shared. Win93 uses the 'standard' P93 data format for its files, as well as a text file format that can be used for printing or manual editing.

There is NOTHING in the description suggesting that Win93 will do a "web import" or "import anything from" your "account here" —I think your expectations of the Win93 Freeware exceed the software's capabilities.

Looks like there is no software for the 2053 which interfaces directly with the RadioReference database. You will probably be able to cut and paste from the databse into the spreadsheet view of the Win93 program but there's no automated method. It's all going to be manual cutting and pasting.

Quite right - or you can use Excel as an intermediary and copy/paste from there. I suspect it would be easier in Excel to manipulate things around....HTH Mike

What has this to do with programming the 2053? It is considered bad form to hijack a thread.

How would i create a P93 file that i could copy and paste in to the win9s program or do i do it by hand ?

1- Open the WIN93 program.
2- Click CHANNELS.
3- Paste the frequencies in the FREQUENCY column.
Don't forget to SAVE the file.
