Came into an old Radio shack Pro-18 digital iScan handheld scanner. I have the softare and all that jazz but the database isn't supported anymore.
I'm trying to figure out how I can get an updated RR database file compatible with the software, and scanner, preferably to just straight-load onto the SD card, or send through iScan, but if someone can help me with this, I'll owe you bigly!

I'm most interested in getting it updated with Travis County, Austin, Central Texas area, but would prefer the ability to just update the entire database in the scanner.

For now, I would avoid using the unofficial upgrade. Whistler was just purchased by Goliad Products LLC. The servers are not available yet for any updates. Let's wait and see if the new owner continues to offer the legacy upgrade. It adds both P25 Phase 2 and DMR to the PRO-18 as well as improved performance. It would be well worth the upgrade to a WS1080 if offered. The PRO-18 iSCAN software doesn't even have the ability to save a programming file.
