Pro-668 ?

[FIRE321FIGHTER1985]

is the power cord and programming cord the same ?

 

[Wackyracer]

Yes, it is just a USB A to usb MINI cable.

 

[FIRE321FIGHTER1985]

A big thank you. I thought I had lost the programming cable. Scared me to death. LOL

 

[FIRE321FIGHTER1985]

my 668 has the whistler upgrade. Could somebody tell me which whistler scanner the upgrade brought the 668 up to ?

WS-1080

Use the WS1080/WS1088 EZ Scan software for programming and updating firmware, library, and application.

I tried whistler.com, but could not get into the site. I am looking for a power/programing cable for the pro- 668. Thank you.

It's a standard USB A Male to Mini B cable, you can get them anywhere, nothing special.

 

[Redneck0410]

Radio Scanner USB Cable. This one says it works for the TRX-1 and 2, which should cover your scanner as well.

 

[GTR8000]

$15 is a ripoff for a standard USB cable. You can get them just about anywhere for 1/2 to 1/3 that price. Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, etc. are all better options than Whistler.com

I am sorry but I posted in the wrong place earlier. Where can I find an extra power/program cable for my pro-668. I have 1 but I need another one for in the car.

Your question was answered above, by a couple people.

My bad...

I have a pro-668 with the whistler upgrade. I have looked at the "easier to read" online. My question is this, is there anyway to go into the menu to lock out certain IDs manually ?

 

[Swipesy]

To lock out objects:
1. From main menu, select Browse Objects, then press
Right Arrow
2. Use the Up/Down Arrows keys to browse objects then press
MENU.
3. Select Locked Out and press Right Arrow. A checkmark indicates Lockout is selected. A square () indicates
Lockout is disabled. An uppercase L in the display
indicates a locked out frequency.
NOTE: The SKIP button can be programmed in the
Global Settings Menu (first option under the Expert
section) to perform the Lockout function.

I have the 668. While the power/programming cord is not proprietary, I have found that the scanner is a bit finicky with cords. I've found that the scanner isn't always seen by the computer/software when using cheap Amazon type cables. I get much better mileage from better quality cables. I don't know if other have encountered this problem as well.

 

[FIRE321FIGHTER1985]

Thank ya'll for the replies, I will write this in my notebook.

 

[FIRE321FIGHTER1985]

Is there anyway to set the back light to come on when an ID activates ? I have looked in the "easier to read" but have found nothing unless I missed it.
Thanks in advance

 

[FIRE321FIGHTER1985]

sorry this is late, but thank you very much.

I did find a cord at Walmart for $10.00 and it comes with about 4 sizes plus the main cord.
