Getting ready to take a vacation in Massachusetts, Berkshire county to be exact.
I downloaded their info from RadioReference to Proscan and noticed the frequencies where wrong.
Instead of 154.13 it showed 1.5413. The rest of the frequencies where the same way.
They seem to be off by 2 decimal places.
I experimented with other states and counties and they where the same way.
Do I have a setting wrong somewhere or is this just the way it works and I have to manually adjust the frequencies?
Thanks for any help.

I just tried this with FreeScan and had no issues like the one you describe. I'd suggest reporting it on the ProScan forum (same site where you got the software) and see if Bob can throw a quick fix

Did some more experimenting

It seems to have to do with the number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
If the freq listed is 123.45 it downloads as 1.2345.
123.456 is 12.3456. 123.4 is 0.1234. 123.4567 is 123.4567.
I am waiting to get activated on ProScan's forums so I can post a message there.

Like ka3jjz mentioned, post in the ProScan forum to Bob can take a look at it. Are you using the latest version of ProScan? Whatever version you are using, you may want to try another one, say if you're using the latest, try the next one down. If you need an older version, let me know and I can get it to you.

Finally got on ProScan forums.

Seems like other people have the same problem.
No solution as yet.

Problem with importing conventional frequencies seems to be fixed,
Thanks Bob.
