I loaded up the PSR800 with the STARS frequencies, but it's totally silent. Do I have to do something with 'tables' here (like I did with my 996XT) or should I automatically have the correct stuff when the 800 library is updated?

Me as well. I've enabled all the Fairfax channels and all the Culpeper channels but the radio remains silent (and uses the straight-from-the-library (update 125) frequencies and trunking information).
Any ideas?
Try just selecting one or two sites. In your case Mt Weather and/or Fairfax. I don't know if I would want all the sites turned on. When I tried that my scanner did not pick any STARS up. Not saying that is your problem but it is worth a try.
It is still either a reception or a programming issue and your current antenna set up could possibly be interfering with your STARS reception. As I said, easiest way to determine which one it is would be to take your radio to a known location close to a STARS site (such as Fairfax). I am sorry you are having so much trouble but the unit will program and receive STARS. Your other option is to log in to the GRE site and ask them for guidance. GRE has excellent customer support and will respond quickly to any question.
Nopoe - I've been too busy to ping GRE, but need to do that to take it to the next level.
