ProScan: Sr. Citizen Basic Questions. (SDS 200)

[BOBRR]

Hello,

They say at my age now, 85, that it is important to keep the brain
exercised. Well, trying to figure out my SDS 200 which I haven't used for many years due to some medical issues, will certainly do it.

Can I please ask the following, really basic questions:
Using with ProScan.

a. I have changed the status of several Quick Keys in the menu.
How do I get back to actually scanning from it ?

b.I am now on, e.g. QK 2, which is very active, and I am listening to.
How do I tell it to go to QK 6 ?

c. How would I "lock it" on a particular QK without turning all the others to OFF from the Set Scan Selection menu ?

And, how to go back to normal scanning ?

d. The green color for the buttons in ProScan is hard for me with my eyesight now.
Any way of changing it ?

Let say how much I truly appreciate the help from you folks.
Really nice of you all to take the time. Very appreciated.

Undoubtedly, I'll have some more basic and dumb questions.
But, am really enjoying getting going again with the SDS 200

Regards and thanks,
Bob

Hi,

I apologize for being a pest with this, but would so like to get it going again.
That old age problem again, I guess.
Using ProScan

I have QK's 1 thru 6 set to ON.
Doesn't seem to be any doubt about this. I went to menu and looked at their status.

I have not pressed, any of the 3 soft keys below.

Unit seems "stuck" on QK 2, and it seems the only way I can get it to scan is to turn the Squelch all the way up.

So, two questions, please:

What do I press to have simply go to a different QK I select, and have it cycle thru what's in it ?

Assuming I can do that, with your help, what do I press to have it resume a "normal" scan ?

Thanks again,
Bob

Press the same sequence in Proscan as you would on the actual scanner keypad.

Example, to turn on QK 1 press "1" key and then the "E/Yes" Key. Repeat for each QK. Reverse to turn off specific QK's.

The display colors can be changes in Proscan to match those on the scanner automatically (found in setting Options>Scanner Specific). Use Uniden Sentinel software to set color scheme on scanner first.
