Hey guys,
Asking for a friend with a new (as in maybe a little old but just out of the box, never used before) Pro-651 that I've been helping to get his scanner programmed and running tip-top.
Using win500 and my RS programming cable to download from RR database, I programmed his scanner with 16 different scan lists, same as what I have in mine, no problems at all. Everything went in just fine and tested great from what I saw. I should mention that prior to programming I did a firmware update to version 2.9 which was the most recent I could find out there. I thought we were in business except that I noticed that the scanning speed was ridiculously slow, like maybe only 3 frequencies per second slow. Never saw that happen before. You can miss entire calls it was scanning so slow. They should be going by like lightning like on my Pro-96 that I also programmed using the exact same win500 and wire I'm using now. I turned the scanner off and back on a few times and suddenly on about the third try at this, suddenly it was scanning like lightning again. Great! I thought. We were in business. I still don't know what caused the slowness but it was gone and working great again so we didn't care anymore. A few days later, the slowness came back with a vengeance. Once again, it's scanning super slow to where you can literally read each frequency going by where they should be flying by when it's scanning at the proper high-speed. Turning the scanner off and back on numerous times did nothing to resolve the issue this time like it did the first time, unfortunately.
I guess my/our question is: Does anyone have any ideas on what the root-cause of the super slow scanning might be and if so, how to eliminate it? Is there a win500 setting that controls/sets scanning speed that I don't know about? Ugh! After I programmed it, it was slow, then it got fast again just by turning it off and back on again a few times (I don't remember doing anything more than that) and then a few days later it started acting up again out of the clear blue. We know the scanner is capable of fast scanning since we saw it working that way for a few days before the second episode of slowness, so I doubt the scanner is faulty. Has anyone else with a Pro-651 encountered this before? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Jim.
