I've been making some adjustments to my PSR 500. These adjustments were found in the Easier to Read Guide. I can find some of these in Win500, but I cannot find TGRP Pri Int. Am I missing something?

In the PSR-500 owner's manual (p. 102 in my edition) it states, "Toggles priority interrupt scanning during trunked calls". In other words you can set the scanner to interrupt trunked conversations in order to check priorities or leave it off to only check priorities when no trunked conversation is in progress.
Personally, I leave this set to off to prevent trunked conversations from being interrupted.

In Win500 Ver 2.07 it is on the first page on the right side in the Priority Settings menu. It says TBRP's interrupted. I have mine checked since it is for WX Priority and I live in a tornado area.

Just a heads up, this setting has no effect on WX-Priority. Whether TGRP Priority Interrupt is turned off or on WX-Priority functions the same.

I looked at this setting on the first page; however, I thought it was related to WX and being interrupted for sampling of NOAA. I did not know this applied to other conventional frequencies.
Thanks for the help.
First of all, I was unaware that there was a newer version of Win500. I downloaded it today.

Thanks for the heads up, Shawn.
savage, I don't know why it would save the file from scanner as notepad file. I would download from the scanner again and click file then click save as and make sure it is saved as .p500 file.

You must download the Win500 file and unzip it to the same directory you created for Win500. If not, create a new one. I use Big Speed Zipper to unzip files, because you can see better where to unzip the program, you can choose where you want it.

It sounds like you have associated the .P500 extension with notepad. Here is how to fix this. With different windows versions the terms may change but the general idea is the same.
Make sure that your files has the extension of .p500
Right click the file your trying to open and select the open with menu and select choose program
Win500 will not be listed so click the browse button and navigate to the win500 application
Make sure the the always open with this application check box is check and say OK.
You should now have the .p500 extension linked to Win500

Win500 has a built-in method of associating .p500 files with Win500:
Configuration > Misc...
Press the P500 File Associate button and then click OK.
