When I am on the whistler download page, do I download just the Library_db files? There are 5 or 6 other files for the ws1080. My iscan card has just been configured from the Radio Shack Iscan download page. Do I have to download the Whistler scanner driver too? or just the Library files from Whistler?
I can't find my Pro 107 Digital DB folder. Do I have to insert my iscan card in the reader to get that folder? Sorry, I am not too bright with this stuff.

Open file explorer, open the documents folder, look for the iScan folder, look for the DB folder

It is not useless if you can follow directions on how to manually update the library data and want to listen to analog only.


You can obtain an updated library using the Whistler Handheld PC app for the ws1080, then transfer the DB files to your non supported iscan pc app.

Download and install ezscan for the WS1080 From whistlergroup.com Then run a library update.
Then on your PC go to My Document > Whistler 1080 Digital > DB and copy the contents of this folder.
Replace the files in your Pro-107 Digital DB folder with the files copied from the Whistler 1080 digital DB folder. Launch your RadioShack Iscan pc app and you will have the latest Library.
Question, I installed ezscan for the ws1080 from whistle group but, where do I run the library update?

I am sorry < I'm at a lost after I lost the cards memory and can't transfer the ws1080 library to the iscan DB files..Is there any way you can give me a step for step procedure on how to get this iscan card updated to run the pro 107?Now I even have problems with the actual radio shack scanner playlist to set the scan card up. When I downloaded the ezscan library, where do I go to update the library..?

its right up above listed step 1 step 2 and so forth scroll up i think is what your looking for
The question is: How do I find the page to update the Whistler library update after I downloaded the ezscan library?, On my documents, do I open the DB file or just right-click and copy to transfer to the my documents Iscan DB file, Now, how do I get those updated DB files to the Radio Shack Pro 107 Playlist page where I load the Iscan card or do I load the card from the Whistler's Playlist page?

That's the same problem I am having. Do I open the bin or just right click the whole file? I am sorry, I am a little weak going through throat cancer.

It's NOT a bin file....it is a DB which is DATABASE.

As explained early, updates to the database are done through the iScan software on the Library Import tab, that is the only way, and then loaded into the scanner, once loaded into the scanner you can update through the scanner. There is no way to put the database into the scanner except through the iScan software.

Yelling at us by using bold text won't change the answer.

Once you have (copied and pasted) the library DB you got from the ws1080 ver of ezscan (found in the My documents folder) into the iscan program files, you use iscan as before to do the updates or add more systems to your pro-107. But you must manually do these updates each week to stay current with any changes to the systems you monitor, as ISCAN will NO LONGER retrieve the library data base because the servers have been turned off.
