GRE/RS Object Oriented Scanners FAQ - The RadioReference Wiki
Object Oriented Scanner Software - The RadioReference Wiki
Programming Your GRE Scanner - The RadioReference Wiki

These WIKI articles should answer most of our questions (including those you haven't thought to ask just yet).

Basically you use the programming cable on your Windows based PC (Linux & Mac aren't really supported), load the desired software (the "big 3" all have a free 30 day trial so check them all out to see which works best for you since they're all equally good with different interfaces so it's not which one is best, it's which one works the way you do).

Once you have the software working, use the menu to access the RR database and select the desired system(s). Download the selected system(s) to the software and customize as desired. Once you have things as you like, upload from the software to the scanner. Finally unhook the cable and start monitoring!

Check your firewall and/or antivirus settings. Undoubtedly one or both is blocking downloads

"Clone" is only going to work if you can meet up with somebody with a 'compatible' scanner.

Besides a PSR-500, you could also clone with a PSR-600, or Radio Shack models Pro-106 (their version of your PSR-500) or Pro-197.

It sounds like there is something in your security settings, either a firewall setting, or maybe your internet browser (are you using Internet Explorer?) that is preventing you from downloading a file from a website.I suspect that the same settings might thwart an attempt for someone to download it for you & email it to you as an attachment, if you use Outlook, or Outlook Express.

Shut down all your blockers and just download the files you need and do nothing more. 9 out of 10 times youll be fine. I have done it before. Just restart after downloading then let things load normally. If you can go into windows safe mode with networking mode you can download off the net and should have no issue.

Did you program them for NAC search? Remember they are p25 conventional. (DPS).
They dont talk as much as they used to because of the MDC's in the troopers vehicle.

Every once in awhile a P25 indication will appear but no sound . every thing on johnson county from RR was input... still on a learning curve here.. also can't get led to light while picking up trunk station.

Yes there is a learning curve... Which DPS repeaters are you trying to listen to? You program the talkgroup for the LED to light up on a TRS.
