RadioShack Pro 18 help with library update on iscan

[westsac95691]

I have a Radio Shack pro18 that has never been updated as far as firmware or anything pf that nature due to not really using the radio much because law enforcement in my area is all mainly "E". I did a few library updates from time to time over the years via ISCAN and it seems like i hear everything just fine on the system I'm listening to. well i am wanting to start fresh because it's just a cluster of a mess in the entire radio but i also don't want to BRICK IT or anything so i haven't tried to mess with the update firmware. As we all know that everything has been laid to rest on ISCAN other than sending the library to radio but what I'm looking for is the very latest verson of the library from radio reference that is possible and i will go and fix what's needed but all i have is version #69 of the library how would i go about getting the latest version of the library before everything went dead i really dont want to copy and paste for hours and hours ? and also is it still something i should look into doing the whistler legacy thing if all i really get is that ugly "E' on law enforcement i just listen to FIRE/EMS and PD in surrounding cities. the systems is Project 25 Phase II APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive. thanks for any help as i did try to find topics on this in the thread search but was unsuccessful

System Type:	Project 25 Phase II
System Voice:	APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive

The Pro-18 is P25 Phase 1 only. I suggest that you send the scanner to Whistler for the Legacy Upgrade. The upgrade adds P25 Phase 2 as well as DMR. It converts your scanner to a Whistler WS1080. You will be able to use the WS1080/WS1088 EZ Scan software for firmware, application, and library updates. You will also be able to save and recall configuration files, which you cannot do with the Pro-18 iSCAN software. There have been many reports of improved performance after the upgrade.

Second that of member tvengr, you'll be impressed with almost everything about the radio after the upgrade. Good luck!
