Pro-106: Programing HELP!!!

Then you never saved anything to the V Folders

There are 2 types of resets. Resetting to the Factory Default erases everything including frequencies and data you programmed. It will be just as it came from the factory. To do this reset start the scanner & at the welcome screen press 0, then press 1. The screen will say:
Factory Init
Erase Memory
ENTER if APPROVE
CLEAR to EXIT

The 2nd type of reset is the Global Parameters factory default and will NOT erase your programmed data. As quoted from the manual:
"This procedure preserves the information
you stored in the scanner’s working memory,
while resetting all global radio parameters
to factory defaults. V-Scanner memory is not
affected by this operation.
To do this reset you press 0, then 2. The screen will show:
Init GLOB data
To factory state
ENTER if APPROVE
CLEAR to EXIT

Now if I did that first choice and bring it back to the factory specs. Would that software bring me to where I want to be??

I never programed it in the first place. It was done by radio shack..

There is a slight chance that Radio Shack may have saved the working memory of your scanner to one of the V-Scanner Folders when they programmed it. The V-Scanner folders are not destroyed even when you do a reset. I would try loading the 00 and 01 folders to see if the original programming is still there. If so, your scanner would be back to normal. Please let me know if you need any help on how to do it.

FXDSCON....i am the different color W

the color of the box with the W.

Now if I buy that cable. Will that software download on to the scanner without me fooling around?? All I want out of this is St Louis County in Minnesota..

Setting up mine was very simple. I had the cable and paid for the software, I had some help at first, but after that it was easy.

First thought was it went into a blank V-Folder...

 

[Swipesy]

On that second one after pressing 0 an3 it says nothing is enabled..

Read my post #17 above about enabling your Scan Lists

Procedure for loading V-Scanner folders:
Press FUNC
Press PGM
Select Load (Press F1)
Select V-Folder with Down Arrow (Not necessary with 00)
Select Load (Press F3)
Select YES (Press F1) to overwrite main memory
When finished loading, press SCAN
You can check V-Scanner folders #00-20 using this procedure. You might as well check all of them. You will probably see Minnesota in one of the preloaded folders. When you load that folder, enable the 20 scan lists one at a time to see what is there. There is a good chance that the database could be out of date but it is worth a try. It is also possible that all Radio Shack did to program your scanner was to load that V-Scanner folder. Good Luck!

Did you try Swipesy's post, #17? This is assuming you haven't reset it to factory defaults. Turn it off. Turn it back on again and wait for it to boot up. If it says "Nothing enabled!", then press the number keys in order starting with "1", allowing about 2 seconds between each press. If the programming is still there, you should start seeing objects being scanned. If you get to "0" (scanlist 10), then press "Func"+"1" (scanlist 11) and continue through "Func"+"0" (scanlist 20). If still nothing is being scanned, then your programming got hosed and you'll have to start over.

 

[westgateblvd]

Okay. I did it again. I put the 1-0, then did the FUNC 1-0. They all went in. Still Nothing..
