Freescan doesn't work for that model. You have to use SENTINEL for it to work properly. I might be wrong-please correct if so
The OP states later in the thread that he has moved on to a 436. See post #13.Freescan doesn't work for that model. You have to use SENTINEL for it to work properly. I might be wrong-please correct if so
Yea I got the Aus version of Sentinel and its still only got USA and Canada database.
The Australian files on RR are locked behind a paywall.
So everyone in USA and Canada get their channels handed to them for free but us in Australia have to pay extra to unlock them from RR then download many seperate CSV files, then go from 1 app to another to convert then when its all finally done and in Sentinel we can finally sync with the scanner.
Again Aussies get screwed bigtime.
WHY are the files locked behind a paywall for Aussies where USA/Canada aren't? Does RR love to rip off Aussies? WHY is it so hard for us to program our scanners?
I dont understand why there is a AUS version of Sentinel with USA/Canada database??? Shouldn't that be the Aus database? Would make more sense if it was.
There is an Aus version of the scanner, Aus version of the software but not an Aus version of a database? Makes no sense to me.
I guess RR lives of the money Aussies pay them to access what the USA/Canada get for free.

Put the 436 in Mass Storage mode so you can use ProScan to read and write the Favorites to the scanner.Can proscan do that? I cant connect the 436pt to proscan. I tried but how?
I have the 396 connected abdnd works in proscan.
I use the 436pt, USB cable and nothing happens in proscan.
I use the 396 cable and again nothing happens.
I guess im doing something wrong but cant work out how to connect the 436pt to proscan. I did a search on proscans website and found nothing about the 436.
I did get something saying about a usb driver but as thr 396 is working i thought the usb driver is already installed. I cant find the questioned usb drivers anyway so unsure whats going on there.
So is proscan better for the 436 than sentinel?
Because you've clearly missed the point that you don't need serial mode to program any variant of the 436 with ProScan. You won't be able to use any of ProScan's remote control and logging features with your variant, but you can still program it.If youve read anything here you would know ive already said many times its the aus model PT and it doesnt have serial mode anyway so why state whats already said and the obvious?
