Radio shack pro 652

[AngWay]

Can someone explain exactly what a DC block does, i know it says it blocks DC voltage from your radio but i still don't understand, Like i use a LNA and i'm using a two way splitter that goes to my sds100 and my rtl-sdr i use a compleatly different antenna that goes to my pro 652 and the scanners are beside each other, so what would something like This do to help anything at all or would it do nothing at all. i get it blocks dc voltage from the radio but what does that do for performance? Thanks

Ultra-Low Insertion Loss (<0.3dB to 6GHz)​

it cuts the signal a very tiny little bit.

I tried searching for what contrast means under the global settings but i couldn't find anything, this is all the manual says about it.

For most numeric entries (except Contrast) simply enter the new value and press F1 (Done).
For most selectable entries (like Yes, No, On, Off, etc. and Contrast) use the ◄ or ► keys to select the new parameter.

I don't understand what it means if anyone with more knowledge than me knows please help. Thanks

Here's a thought...why don't you adjust the contrast setting while looking at the display and see if you can figure it out for yourself.

The amount of time you spend asking endless questions on this forum could be better spent learning some basics and actually getting physically familiar with the stuff you own.

Adjusts the contrast level of the LCD display

If by "that kind of contrast" you mean it's not the LCD display contrast, well then that just shows that you really don't put much effort in on your own before asking questions here, because that's precisely what kind of contrast it adjusts.

Hey does anyone know how i can covert the date from my pro 652 into data i can upload to the sds100? the files in the pro 652 are .P500 and .bin files and i would like to be able to upload my 652 data to my sds100. Thanks

You can copy and paste frequencies and talkgroups from the 652 software into Sentinel for the SDS100.

Copy and paste from one to the other or create an excel sheet that takes copy from pro 652 and manipulates It to unidens format and then paste into sentinel. Similar to the freescan converter someone wrote years ago.

I tried copying everything in win500 and pasting them into sentinel but it just gives me a error.

It won't be a direct copy and paste. You'll likely have to do each field one at a time.

I was able to do a copy and paste from PSREdit500 to sentinel but everything copied except the name. and i can't isolate the name in psredit and copy to sentinel

 

[dave3825]

Post a PSRE file. Likely something with the format in that column. Might be extra space or something.

I noticed it won't copy the CTCSS number

Did not try because you only mentioned name wouldn’t copy.

I look in a bit.
